iPhone unlock and start
Question is this only going to be available on M50i vehicles built in July 2020 and not available for earlier builds? Also Android audio same thing?

Not limited to 50i, should be available in vehicles built starting July 2020. There are several threads bout it, we're hoping it can be retrofit/activated once released. Someone found there is coding/updated vehicle software and there has to be corresponding a ConnectedDrive app update. What we don't know is if there is hardware change involved due to varying specs of digital car keys, or if BMW will control by VIN & the CD app, i.e. your car never had it so it never will.

If you have comfort access then you have the NFC readers in the door handles already. I don't see any reason why the feature can't come to cars that meet the required spec they list (comfort access - SA322 and and active connected drive service). BMW said that drive recorder wouldn't be available initially for earlier MY cars but then reversed it and allowed people to add the subscription if the car supported it. They are probably just trying to slow down the enquiries at launch and then release it to the MY19/20 cars as a second phase. My car was manufactured this year and has an active digital key subscription. I'll be mightily pissed off if I can't use the feature on my car considering the subscription is there and active.
