It works by using wifi direct or miracast equivalent. It's not application specific, but rather simply mirrors and scales your phone's display to the iDrive's display. I'd imagine audio is included as well. There are a few 3rd party solutions for this feature already, but good to see it finally integrated natively without hacking required.

Basically any app on your phone is now visible on iDrive. Not sure if touchpad can serve as a mouse.
This is slick, hadn't seen it before. Any idea if it will work with the MY16 cars?
