Iphone 12 Voice to Text using IDrive

Anyone able to get the IDrive system to work with texting through voice on the BMW system. Carplay does not show all the text messages on my phone or even sent to me....


I have reset the phone and the IDrive. Unpaired and repaired the phone to car and checked notification status on both.

Also is anyone able to get Alexa to work on their BMW. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you use Siri by holding down the microphone button on the steering wheel a little longer until Siri answers, and then text away through Siri. Apple car play typically will not bring over all the text messages you receive on your phone, just usually the last few, maybe just the messages you received today. I haven't really tested it to see where car play draws the line on the text message history.
