This is incorrect. I confirmed with BMW NA about 30 mins ago that the only features lost will be screen mirroring for android auto and to use as a wifi hotspot. ALL CarPlay functionality remains including wireless CarPlay.

Whom did you talk to at BMW NA? This is conflicting with their own technical training guide that is sticky on the General Topics thread of this forum.

From Page 17 of the document:

The G05 offers the following telephone systems:
• Bluetooth hands-free system (standard equipment)
• Telephony with wireless charging (SA 6NW).

We lost the second one that was part of upgrade. The standard equipment table shows Screen Mirroring as included. Not sure if that is CarPlay/AA specific.

2.1. Bluetooth hands-free system
The G05 is equipped with a Bluetooth hands-free system as standard.
Features Bluetooth hands-free system (standard equipment)

Number of mobile phones 2 mobile phones can be active at the same time.
USB ports 2
Wireless charging —
Bluetooth audio Yes
Screen mirroring Yes
Number of microphones 1 (driver's side)
Wi-Fi hotspot preparation —
WLAN hotspot (SA 6WD) —
Office functions —
NFC for BMW Digital Key Yes (with SA 322)
Connection to the telephone aerial of the vehicle —

2.2. Telephony with wireless charging (SA 6NW)
The wireless charging station is available as optional equipment for the G05. The vehicle can be equipped with NFC for BMW Digital Key (SA 322) independently of the optional equipment Telephony with wireless charging (SA 6NW).
An LTE compensator is provided in vehicles equipped with SA 6NW which has the task of amplifying the aerial signals.
Features Telephony with wireless charging (SA 6NW)
Number of mobile phones 2 mobile phones and an audio player can be active at the same time.
USB ports 2
Wireless charging Yes
Bluetooth audio Yes
Screen mirroring Yes
Number of microphones 2 (driver's and passenger's side)
Wi-Fi hotspot preparation Yes
WLAN hotspot (SA 6WD) Optional equipment (SA 6WD)
Office functions Yes, depending on telephone
NFC for BMW Digital Key Yes (with SA 322)
Connection to the telephone aerial of the Yes vehicle



So we will lose passenger side microphone. I guess that was the “Enhances Bluetooth” part.

I was more so replying to the loss of wireless carplay, which will remain.

ZAX Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Compatibility remains and does not affect Wireless Carplay

I didn't press with the other features (mirroring) as I don't care about them. I wouldn't really use the technical training guide at this point.

Should have clarified in my post that I assumed 6NS is currently replacing ZEB for June builds. But that is only an assumption. I did ask what do I lose with this occurring (happening for G07 and likely the G05). To which, they commented on the mirroring and hotspot.

-Standard feature ZEB Enhanced USB & Bluetooth (MY2021) has been replaced with 6NS Enhanced Bluetooth (MY2022)

Yeah so far the losses are imo not relevant to me, Carplay is the #1 feature I need out of my car's infotainment.

Soft close doors, leather dash, wireless hotspot, 2+ bluetooth, etc, not a big deal _to me personally._ I totally respect and acknowledge that this is a big deal to others.

Apologies if I lead astray. I spoke to the dealer after my order was placed and he explained that CarPlay piece to me.
