I've tried to defend CarPlay since purchasing my M2 last year, even going through a huge rigamarole with BMW USA to update iDrive in order to squash the bugs.
I am now firmly in the "iDrive sucks" camp. Don't bother. |

How do you update it? Is it done OTA, via USB or do you actually need to bring it into the dealer?

I will test out Apple play without the iMessage pop ups today , and follow up. If you convert me I will give credit where credit is due.
At the very least I'm incentivized to try once more due to the disparity in sound quality for music. I'd like that improvement back |

I believe carplay info is sent from the phone to the car, and the carplay kit itself lives in the phone OS. That allows Apple to improve it without needing the car makers to update all of the time. For instance, if you want to use spotify with carplay, you download it on your phone and not the car.. it then shows up in the phone in Carplay settings under General. This is why those with an older phone, while supported, will not get the performance they expect. It is just older hardware holding them back. My iPhone 7+ works great with Carplay. I am not saying upgrade to fix it, I am just listing why I think some have a worse time than others.
By the way, for those that do not know, go to Settings > General> carplay>your car and you can modify the carplay apps and move them around to the order that you prefer which may also help ease of use. |

If you have a friendly dealer, I hear they might update iDrive for you for free. But that's not confirmed. After my iDrive was updated by the dealer, some small improvements were made - but it's still far from perfect. Still have some of the same issues as before. |

Google Play Music now on Carplay
Well just as i posted on another thread the lack of apps.........Google play music is now available on Carplay, good for me as although i have an iPhone I use Google Music as I have an android tablet and basically prefer it, you can upload all your music on the google cloud basically for free, its a winner!
I have also noticed the volume is far louder on the HK system than iTunes was. I am now deleting iTunes library as I really do dislike it. |

Apple Carplay now purchasable on Connected Drive Store
I had BMW service center update my MY17 software (iDrive 5.0) and Apple Carplay can now be purchased on the connected drive store. $300 in US at least. Also a side note, iDrive now has Spotify as an app for me to use on my Android. Never showed up for me before.

Apple CarPlay (Option code 6CP) *Launch from 09/16*
CarPlay provides BMW drivers with a new way to interact with their iPhone by making popular applications and functions available via the iDrive system in Apples familiar user interface. Using the iDrive controller, or Siri hands-free personal assistant, drivers can access their messages, Apple Maps, online music streaming or their iPhones and a growing list of features. Please note vehicles ordered for July and August production will not include option code 6CP, but will be eligible for a no-charge retrofit from 09/16. my car started production 06/17 |

ooo, that's a newer ISTEP than what I have. Can you post the navigation map info? Should say NBT_EVO_XXXXXXX
It should be under navigation then you should be able to find an update section.
