I could mirror my old Samsung phone, which was pretty cool. I got a new motorola phone and the phone doesn't support it. Ugh.
What's the vehicle wi-fi setting do?

Spotify problem (android)
I have a Android (samsung S9) and the latest update. I can play Spotify in idrive but cant skip song with the steering wheel (works well if im only using BT and not spotify though the idrive app). On the small screen it only says "loading" (but i can skip song on the big idrive screen).
I have tried to clear cache, have BMW connected app active and Spotify on the Phone active but still nothing but the loading screen. Any tips? |

I find the older version 8.4.78.530 is best. I keep a copy of the apk file on my sd card. I am using an Galaxy S8 btw.

I just updated my BMW Connected App to 6.1.1.5396 it seems have to improved the way Spotify works in the car. If you are not downing from the app store make sure you get the version with .na at the end. For us in Canada anyway.

NBTevo_E and Android
I have an early M2 -16 that currently has NBTevo_E running. I don't have any iPhone, I only use an Android phone.
Can I in anyway get screen mirroring or phone apps visible on the idrive screen by updating the idrive firmware or by adding something else to the system? |

HFW003 the original poster that I found listed the module identifiers but they didn't match for me. What I did in BimmerCode was use the search function in expert mode and set the values that way.

Apple uses AirPlay not Miracast hence why it is not compatible.

It is a suck it and see. Best compatibility I have seen is with Samsung devices.

I commented in the other thread. BimmerTech has screen mirroring solutions for both Android and IOS via SmartView.

i can confirm the mircast works with my samsung note 8. you do have to download the mircast app onto your phone..since new versions of android does not support it natively anymore.

Edit: OK, apperenty it's possible with the Pixel 3 but it has to be rooted. Other non-rooted devices may sideload a version of Miracast without issue. Last edited by AlpsRider; 07-19-2019 at 03:56 PM.. |
