I could be wrong but I believe release 07/2020.45 is what you would need for Apple Maps to work in HUD.

I would think MY21 vehicles would come with a minimum of 07/2020 software but I have no evidence to back that.

The BMW idrive nav integrates with the assisted driving so really need that running. My ideal setup would be google maps from CP in HUD and integrated into assisted driving, but can't see that ever happening. Might get GM in HUD one day though |

It's the only native CarPlay app that will run at the same time as idrive NAV. All others including Apple and Google Maps stop idrive NAV working once a route is planned in them. |

I need Idrive navigation for hybrid driving and I actually prefer it for longer trips and HUD functionality. However for short drives and to avoiding traffic jams others are better. I have Waze but if I activate Waze pushing the map button goes to Waze and not to idrive. I also have Tom Tom but I don't use it a lot. Do you have any experience with Waze? |

It also takes over the phone. If I am using Waze on my iPhone it is quite easy to see alternative routes. But when connected with CP it is not possible anymore in the phone and it is to difficult (haven't found it) while driving with the touch screen. On holiday when my wife is driving I sometimes look for traffic and alternative roads in google maps. This is not possible anymore when my phone is connected to CP. if I open google maps or Waze it immediately takes over navigation and navigation in idrive is cancelled. I didn't want it to do that I only wanted to see if idrive showed the best route. The solution is doing it on her phone. I don't know which is better in avoiding traffic Tom Tom or Waze. Waze helped me a lot. Idrive is not so bad either but is much later in suggesting an alternative route. |

If CP nav is running then it becomes the defacto. You have to start TT then start idrive to get them cohabiting. To move from TT to idrive nav I press the home/menu button then nav, although its rare I use idrive nav mainscreen when idrive nav is already in HUD. TT routing is VASTLY superior to idrive NAV in the UK. I know TT provide the traffic data and mapping for BMW but the routing algorithms are worlds apart, so I always have TT front of house. |

The other scenario is when the passengers are watching plex or youtube, then having the HUD navigation can be useful, plus the car will wiggle the wheel to remind me when to come off at an exit, even though I cant see the nav screen. |

Like this I have Tom Tom navigation and speed camera notifications on the big screen with Tom Tom and the idrive instructions in the HUD and between the meters. Hybrid driving is optimized by navigating the trip in idrive. TT and idrive agreed on most instructions and routes. So functionally it is almost like have TT in the HUD. The Tom Tom navigation screen reacts quicker than Waze and is nicer to navigate. For route planning and avoiding traffic jams I still have to test which one is better. If other 45e drivers like to try: I enter my destination and send it to idrive with the CD app (I alway do it like this) and do the same in the Tom Tom app (like this it is in last destinations an much easier to enter in the car). Open TT in CP, enter the navigation and start navigating. Then go back to Idrive navigation and start navigating to the same destination. It takes over and shows instructions in the HUD. If you now chose CP again it will show TT navigation but idrive will still show instruction in the HUD. Sound more difficult than it is. |

Works a treat using TomTom and iDrive at the same time on an F30 as well - I need to do more comparisons but I think I prefer TT to Waze, display is better and the speed camera alerts are far less intrusive.

Sorry OP I digress, I am not sure if any of you have rear seat entertainment RSE; I wonder if I play something from Plex using CP then can I have RSE play the same in theatre mood?
I use Plex a lot and this integration will be simply amazing. I'll get the RSE with my build nonetheless (looked into it and made up my mind) 😀 I got excited when you guys mentioned Plex.
