Android has ~80% Market share, but when it comes to BMW buyers, this is much closer to 50%.

In the US, in upper incomes, it's more like 75/25 in favor of iOS. So maybe BMW sees they have way more iOS downloads. They have the data. I still assume Android Auto is coming though. Soon, many people will not buy a car if they can't use their Waze/Google Maps.

(2014 data, so should be something newer, but: https://www.comscore.com/Insights/Da...-Android-Users )

Only a month or so away from Waze/Google Maps via CarPlay on iOS 12.

Right, official support for Google Maps & Waze with CarPlay made CarPlay a must have for me in this car search (and the next car I'm shopping for now, too). Had to eliminate a few brands, such as Range Rover due to their lack of CarPlay. I'm not putting up with inferior car manufacturer navigation ever again if I can avoid it. (Bonus points for BMW for actually having wireless CarPlay, too. Although I've read mixed things.)

Link to data please ..

what? 80%? where is this data from? fake news?

I guess apple stopped to exist with apple car play. Homelink will be available soon too, a great option for those that like things that work. Just like a BMW it works as it should. I suppose android is for AUDI as they are constantly broken. ... GO FRANCE WORLD CHAMPS !!!!
Actually as of a year ago it was closer to 87% globally. In the US it's about 54%. For bmw buyers probably more Apple than Android but I don't have the data. Point is well made though that I can't really see a need for controlling the smart devices at home while driving down the road. For me, as an Android user, I too would prefer android support rather than this. Porsche too is also lacking in the Android support area.

I am in Canada and very little of the ConnectedDrive stuff has ever worked for me. I also find that I don't have a problem locking my keys in the car. I tried the concierge thing once, don't even remember what for, but found there was too much 'sir' and not enough actual assistance.

I think BMW is looking for $185 a year for a connected drive subscription, which is really more than I want to spend to have the weather on my iDrive screen, it's not like I am lighting cigars with hundreds!

Once I can use Waze in CarPlay, I will turn that on when traveling, I find CarPlay less compelling than the stock iDrive, I prefer Spotify as I find Apple Music does not work well if you use it anywhere other than in the car. For me, it starts playing the first song of all the music I have on my phone whenever I plug in the phone.

For quick trips, I would rather use the iDrive voice recognition for the navigation rather than Siri, she and I don't get along.

Apple Music has always resumed playing whatever I was playing before I got in the car and Siri has worked well too. Not always perfect but pretty close. I do prefer iDrive navigation over using navigation in CarPlay as navigation from CarPlay doesn't show on my HUD. Only BMW's navigation does.

And like a couple others said earlier in the thread I don't see the remote update option in the Connected app

My friends make fun of me, it's the nicest room in my house. Living room is decidedly better since I moved my HP4 in... Kind of makes me sad I don't ride it that much, but the GSA is plenty fun and way more comfortable.

Just got the update...

As I expected and feared, the part with Software update is missing in Europe

Why BMW, why???!

Who cares

I'm not really worried about the temperature of my house when I'm driving my M2. How about adding coolant and oil temperature on my display instead. :

How about less gimmicks and more bedrock features that people actually want. I feel like BMW just googles "the future" and picks whatever hokey shit comes up.

The app got an update today for me... but still no way that I can see to remote update the car or even to see the 'status of services' as described in the release notes... frustrating.

Same here man. I was actually an early backer for SmartThings on Kickstarter! Crazy to see how far it's come.

Back then I had to re-wire my garage myself, by soldering bell wire and a relay from the artist formerly known as Radio Shack, and use IFTTT commands, and used the SmartThings app to open my garage door from my iPhone 5.
Is it coming to Canada in October??
