Just use regular bluetooth, problem solved. I don't have CarPlay in my M2 and don't miss it. I don't even use CarPlay in the cars I have that have it.

I have also used my car without CarPlay, but there are some things that CarPlay does better for me personally. Therefore, I would like to use the feature that I paid for and want it to work well |

This article was interesting as it provides some details about the technologies used for BMW's Connected Drive...
https://arstechnica.com/cars/2017/05...t-megahertz/3/ If you go back to the intro on the first page there's a paragraph on Pandora, which BTW doesn't work (BMW link on the linked page) ... For a look at what car support in 2017 looks like, check out Pandora's insane "How to listen to Pandora in the car" support page, which lists all of its disparate pack-in clients Last edited by omasou; 05-17-2017 at 08:45 AM.. |

The ConnectedDrive menu has been re-worked slightly. Also, there are app integrations in several additional areas of iDrive. Overall however, nothing major.
I haven't run into any bugs yet, but it's only been a day. Can confirm that the audio issue (garbled, robotic voice on a CarPlay call played through the M2 speakers) has not been fixed by updating iDrive. That fix is supposed to come with a phone-only update in July, presumably from bmw.com/update. |

CarPlay will be crap for many years to come. I fear it will go the way of the AppleTV and just end up a novelty item not well developed & by the time it is refined we will have sold our M2's and moved on.

Pissing me off. The idrive 5 interface and ui in our cars is too smooth and intuitive for an in car entertainment system. CarPlay returns the frustrating experience of navigating in car apps/screens that have no concept of interoperability with each other.

My M2 came with Carplay as it was a cancelled order, to be honest I too see little if any point in it.
Thing is as the car has this paid for option and I have an iPhone I feel I must use it!!!!! |

For me Apple Maps Nav v BMW idrive Nav - BMW Nav wins for me iTunes v streaming via standard Bluetooth on the iPhone or USB - the later wins as album art and tracks are easier to select and see Phone calls - For me better on the idrive as I can scroll on the steering wheel for last calls rather than having to use the carplay menu which is more fiddly. In general I find the menu structure better on the idrive for everything Carplay Apps - What apps, they are fairly limited Button shortcuts above the stereo don't work for carplay items, or am I missing something? idrive6 lite wont display carplay maps in a live tile, only music playing. There is other functionality that seems to be on the idrive but missing from carplay as well, little things but I cant recall them I am glad I have it but not convinced its really 100% ready, seems rushed. Hopefully it will improve |

CarPlay would be great if you had a car with junk HMI, but the iDrive is one of the best and in comparison CarPlay is toilet.

Interesting
Just rented a Dodge Charger with Carplay and I was impressed! Seemed to work much better than my M2 - MUCH. The touch screen helped, but there was more to it - connected nicely, and did what it was supposed to do - also, Apple maps was not too bad either!
