I believe they just announced Waze is coming to Android Auto. No word on when it will be released, but they just showed it at Google I/O.

Google has owned Waze since 2013 and recently incorporated support for it into Android Auto. If BMW decides not to use it due to continued pressure from Apple, there is a standalone Android Auto app available.

BMW was one of the first manufacturers to work with Apple on Carplay this has been known since Carplay was first announced so I am not surprised to see it being offered. I will guess that it will be standard in the US market. Most manufacturers that are offering one are offering the other so I also won't be surprised if BMW does the same.

They already explicitly said they will support both last year, so that's not in question. The question is when? Leaving that bit out allows them to kick the can down the road.

Have a feeling the reason why Apple car play will be available until September is that's the date were apple usually launches new iPhone and iOS so it might coincide with the release of the new Apple products with the capability of wireless CarPlay just a guess though

We can all pretty much bank on the fact that the iPhone 7 will have wireless charging.

- BMW has a long-standing agreement with Apple to develop and implement accessories and functionality for iDevices, and - Android Auto hasn't even been mentioned as being supported by iDrive 5.0. Only CarPlay has. As I'm sure you know, rumors several months out about new iDevices are incorrect more often than they're correct. Granted, a counterpoint to the above would be that wireless charging is device-dependent as well as OS dependent. But why tout the capability at all, this far in advance, if the preferred mobile platform for your vehicle won't be able to take advantage of it?

Here's a big let down. Was just at the dealer buying an M235i and just verified with BMW Genius that BMW did not make a mistake in excluding it, and iDrive 5.0 WON'T be coming for MY17 M2.

That's weird. In the new pricelist (from May 16) it says that it will come with Apple Carplay and the wireless charging. Especially the first (Apple Carplay) will be more likely a new "app" for the system which I think will be integrated with iDrive 5.0. So I still think that the update will be here very soon. We'll see when the first M2s are delivered in Germany this July.
