CarPlay

Took delivery of my new 40i today and upon walking me through the entertainment system, we could not find the CarPlay screen. CA said he was going to look into it. Is this just a software update?

My car play and other apps did not show up for 24 hours after I took delivery. Make sure you sign in to your BMW connected account (or create one if you don't have one) on the car profile screen. Next, go to apple car play on your phone under settings:General. Press and hold the microphone button on the steering wheel and the car will connect with apple car play

Thanks for the instructions with carplay...Carplay finally loaded. However, I'm still stuck with just two apps: bmw assist and service request. Tried it all. Rebooting, signing out of profiles, updating apps. Stuck ;(

I did, thank you. Although some of the services (carplay) show they expire next week while others are out for 3 more years.

It's still 2018, are you sure it isn't showing 2019 for CarPlay and 2022 for the rest?

Ha! I did get ahead of myself there! Thank you.

Now if I can figure out why my weather widget won't show up ( or other apps)

Car Play

I have a 2019 X5 4.0, Feb build. Apple CarPlay worked intermittently, and then about a month ago, it stopped completely and does not show up in media at all. I spoke to a genius about 3 weeks ago and they said it should be addressed with iOS 12.4 (I have an iPhone XS Max). I just installed 12.4 and...nothing.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Oh, forgot - wife has iPhone 8 and when she connected her phone to bluetooth about 2 weeks ago it connected to Apple Car Play right away.

The mantra of the modern age: "when in doubt, reboot" — try an iDrive reboot (hold volume button for 20+ seconds until screen goes black). Then another iPhone reboot/power cycle. Then try to delete phone and re-pair.

Thanks, I should have mentioned that I have done this many times. Including after I upgraded to iOS 12.4 and when I was talking to the BMW Genius.

Very frustrating after spending $82K for the car.

Touché. FWIW, my iPhone 8 has been rock steady with iDrive/BT setup (I don't and won't use CarPlay) pre- and post- 12.4. It is rare in life for me to be on this side of an issue — the norm is that I tend to be the one that attracts way more bugs than the average human.

I haven't used CarPlay in my new X5 due to the horror stories associated....everything is working just fine, and didn't want to chance messing things up.
Question: Is texting possible through iDrive without CarPlay? I think everything was set up allowing, but nothing happens.
I have iPhone XR
