Apple carplay issue.

1. When Apple carplay is active i cannot use bmw voice commands, for example to call someone...

2. When Apple carplay is active and i want to Shazam a song from radio,
i open the app on the phone and the radio goes silent... when i press a radiostation it says "speech dialogue".when i close the app the radiostation works fine again....

frustrating!

Maybe you are pressing the voice command button too long. If you press it shortly it will activate idrive voice controle and longer CarPlay voice controle.

Or you can say "Hallo BMW"

When you are on CarPlay mode, CarPlay handles the calls. So you should use Siri (long press the button) to make a call and not idrive.

Using the full shazam app wont work during carplay, but if you add the shazam shortcut button into your control center, you can shazam while using carplay.

I make calls by using Siri. This works even when using oem nav.

if the phone is connected via CarPlay, Siri is used for voice commands. if the phone is connected via iDrive, the BMW personal assistant (ie "hello BMW") is used for voice commands.

Unless something changed, long pressing the voice command button still activates whatever personal assistant exists on the phone. So via BT only, no CarPlay, long press should still yield Siri.
