- Viewer requested deeper dive into how to use and navigate CarPlay. Conveniently I receive a call mid video too which introduces how to receive calls while using CarPlay as well.
Any other options or other deep dives you may want please feel free to ask for them in the comments.
Great video - we also activate Apple CarPlay for BMWs over here in the UK!
Great video. The only thing I wish was a wired CarPlay option. Sometimes I like to have use of the home Wi-Fi while in the garage sitting in the car and when wireless iCarPlay is enabled the phone will not use another Wi-Fi network.
Super helpful video. Thank you. Very much. Do you plan on doing an android auto video too?
absolutely! just need to find someone with an android to do it hahaha. the whole dealer is Apple.
You would have done well to show the steering wheel functions of carplay. Something that doesn't seem to exist ANYWHERE!
Great video! I have an unrelated question that no other genius can figure out... I have a 2020 540i and wondered if there is a way to turn off the auto rewind feature on XM. I lose my XM signal for about 5 seconds when entering my parking garage and the XM automatically rewinds back to the beginning of the previous song. My girlfriend has an X5 and she has a time shift option on her audio sidebar menu but my 540 does not. It only has "jump forward" and "jump back" buttons. I try using the jump forward button to get back to the place I was when I lost the signal but it doesn't jump far enough. Please help! Thanks!
Been looking into this,…. Sorry to say over a year of searching has produced nothing for you :(
Is there a way to link CarPlay connections of different phones to different Driver Profiles? I.e., when I switch my profile - my CarPlay connection is active, when my wife switches to her profile - her CarPlay connection becomes active (instead of selecting phone connection deep in the menus)
Thank you!
Unfortunately, unlike other settings and hotkey presets, phones are universal in the car and need to be manually switched for which phone gets priority (my hope is that in a future over the air update, they will allow different phone priority listings dependent on active profile. But as of now that's not the case).
@@BMWofFW , thank you!!
Thanks for the video. I have a 2019 X3 and do not get an audible notification when a text comes through. The banner on the screen shows up momentarily, but then goes away. I have all of the notification options enabled and still nothing. Is there a setting that I need to change in order to get an audible alert for incoming texts.
double check your settings IN apple carplay… if you’ve upgraded to the latest iOS you might have your automatic do not disturb while driving active which can interfere with your notifications/how they’re delivered.
Hi thank you for the video
I would like to ask you about the street speed on the dash board?
Thank you
That’s easy! The street speed on the dashboard uses a combination of the camera above your rear view mirror and GPS information to let you know the speed limit on a given road. So it will change as your drive depending on the limit posted. If the left side of your steering wheel has a button that looks like a speedo with the letters LIM, then you also have Speed Limit Assist… works similar to cruise control but will allow you to not surpass the speed limit (unless you press down to the kick down option, i have a video posted about that under the Genius video list)
How do you normally exit from Apple Car play to main menu ? I press the Home button near the gear shift. Any other way to exit from the screen itself ?
you can also exit it by pressing the BMW logo on your apple CarPlay Home Screen.
Is there any way to stop getting iMessage notifications in Apple CarPlay?
yes, by turning off notifications on your phone.
You can with the driving focus mode in iOS 15.
Can I use BMW navigation with HUD and split screen maps whilst CarPlay is playing music or handling a phone call?
Yes indeed! You can have BMW nave doing its thing in the center instrument cluster, with apple music playin on the right of it, and phone call on the control screen (or heads up if you run that as well)
How do I switch back to IDrive easily avoiding distraction?
you would have to to go COM>Modile Devices> select your device name... third option from the top is connection type... that's where you have the option of BMW iDrive (bluetooth only) or Apple CarPlay. you can hot key the mobile devices menu but it won't let you hot key any further in that menu.
Is there a way to access my phone without Apple play. My 2016 X5 had a tel button but my new X5 2022 does not. Thank you
Great video.
you would need to change your connection type from Apple CarPlay to BMW iDrive, that will switch it from carplay to bluetooth connection
One question. Just bought the carplay future for my bmw m2comp f87 over connected drive store, but it’s not stretched over the entire screen and it’s really annoying me. Its like if i had the split screen on while in normal idrive mode. How can use CarPlay in full screen?
depending on what year your F87 is you can code it for full screen carplay. late 2020models have the larger screen and driver to allow for full screen carplay from the factory. you would just need to code it for on. if it's OLDER than that then you will need a software upgrade to the newer version THEN code it . Hope that helps.
@@BMWofFW thank you very much well it was manufacted in the year 2020 5th month.
hwo can i code it?
Can you show the phone during connection to carplay? What happens if you are texting while connected? Which screen is the dominant one? The screen in the car or the phone?
Show the phone in what way? The phone screen is no longer linked to CarPlay like it used to be in iOS 12 so you can multitask (while not recommended though). If you are texting and a call comes in it will interrupt like normal and you can resume your text... if you were voice to texting it will interrupt and you’ll need to start over on the text. And technically neither screen is dormant, your phone screen will shut off like normal and still allow CarPlay functionality but you can wake it up at any point. Hope those help!
Is the touchscreen model specific?
the size and dimensions of the screen varies between models, but the interface is the same between all iDrive 7s
Quick question: is the applecarplay refresh rate lower than the idrive's refresh rate? i have a 2017 2 series f22 with idrive 6 and i am not sure that the activation i did on my car is original version or working as it should
idrive 6 has a lower refresh rate than idrive 7 just because of hardware... however as you update your phone there is software in your latest update to help mitigate the difference in refreshrate
@@BMWofFW ok i get it, but for example on the car that you showcase the apple carplay is as smooth as the idrive or is it a little bit laggy or not quite as responsive or the refresh rate is slower?
For a 2022 x5, with CarPlay, can you zoom in and out using controller ?
using what feature? Maps? or just in general? because the maps DO have a zoom feature, it's just not pinch to zoom.
@@BMWofFW yes for apple maps. on screen there are the + and - to zoom in/out, but does twisting the controller also zoom in/out for apple maps like it does with bmws maps.
Why it’s impossible to set the audio while playing a song from car play ?
Are you asking about setting individual audio from car play such as bass/treble etc?
@@BMWofFW yes please. And while playing a song
@@uriahglassman so unfortunately there is no way to get to your sound setting while in CarPlay. You can set a hot key to your Audio settings and have another connected to your music so switching is fast and easy as pressing a button. If you’d like me to walk you through that I’ll happily do so
@@BMWofFW ok thanks
Don’t say hey Siri in your videos. It causes Siri to try and do things on peoples devices and in their homes
But is it free?
Of course
I mean you pay for the car, but CarPlay is included, it’s not a subscription or anything like that
You lost me with having a mask on while being alone in the car. You’re killing me dude.
company policy at the time... believe me i wanted it off BADLY.
@@BMWofFW whew! okay that makes me feel better :)
still no video, everything we don't want😁Androids work with less trouble . and you don't need any whole milk lol.
Why are you wearing a mask in a car?
Check time stamp, pandemic time was in full swing and it was company policy to mask up
Sitting alone in the car with mask … Video closed
check post date, double closed
Does the 2020 5 series have full screen apple carplay?
yes... it was 2019 that was the last smaller display option
@@BMWofFW do you know if the 2020 has remote start?
