Connected drives shouldnt affect it. If the app is there then it should work. You can try updating the headunit and see if it helps.

Thanks for the tips, but it won't work no matter what.

From a BMW product page on the UK website, and from other BMW pages I've found previously, they clearly state having Connected Package Professional (6C4) in conjunction with either Live Cockpit Plus (6U2) or Live Cockpit Pro (6U3), is the actual requirement.

My hunch is that here in the Middle East region, you've got to code in the 6C4 option and force the FSC for Android to recognize the iDrive system as authorized.

This is because the best I can get is Android Auto starting for 0.5 seconds on the phone, and immediately exiting with error code 14 saying that the car failed to pass security checks (and possibly update the timezone in the car, as well as update AA and Google Play Services).

My gut says BMW and Google have dug in to their positions to clear up this mess, and neither one is budging. A lot of users are reporting these issues with Android 14 as of this summer, and BMW is aware of the issue, but nothing's come out yet.

Anyone here got Android Auto working in the Middle East after coding? Could you confirm that an 6C4 option had to be coded in to get everything to work?

Also, no chance to update the head unit, RSU is disabled on any pre-2022 BMW in the region, and we can't even see the iDrive/maps versions using the iDrive interface either. It just doesn't exist in the options anywhere. Part of the "Middle East" option BMW kits in to these cars here.

Dealer said the software is up-to-date all the way to the September 2022 update btw.

If android auto is visible then it not FSC issue.
You can lookup possible fixes for the error code 14, like changing auto time zone, wiping and updating app from google play services.

So I confirmed with someone who's done it here, its a non-trivial process. Takes a few hours to code, as the MGU, CIC, and HU all have to be coded to get this running.

Seems like something BMW is not going to fix anytime soon. If they wanted to, it would have been done already..
