Android - Android Auto topics
Does anybody have any info on Android Auto? I'd hope it should come shortly since there is apple carplay. And does anybody know what the 300 dollars that BMW charges for Apple Carplay gets you? Is it an actual hardware change or just software?

Right, and this mainly due to privacy concerns, according to a BMW statement.

So BMW finally released the BMW Connected app for Android, but I am still not seeing Spotify integration. Can anyone prove me wrong? PLEASE!?

Man, Google is seriously deceiving people with this.
Android Auto DOES NOT work with ANY car. It works on your phone, which you can place inside whatever car you want. Not quite the same thing... |

"Play my 'Dance!' playlist on Spotify." "Play Call Me Maybe onb Amazon Music." "Play house music on Pandora." "Play Harry Potter on Audible." "Play Adele Radio on iHeartRadio." "Play Planet Money on NPR One." No, it won't show on iDrive screen unless you have BMW's miracast enabled - which is nice. And phone controls must be spoken to be legal in most states. But it really is a useful app. |

But they can't go around advertising that it "works in every car" because a lot of people will expect to just hook it up via USB and have it show up on the screen. |

I do dig the Pixel though, IMO the greatest phone alternative for Apple haters. |

I have yet to see a screen mirroring option on my M2. I've tried to get it coded but to no avail. Anyone else see the option?

Pause Android Bluetooth !?!
I'm feeling quite a bit dumb here. Just took delivery of my M2 yesterday. When listening to audio via bluetooth from my Android phone, I cannot seem to find a way to pause the track. Help!?

^^ Does that pause, or just mute while allowing the track to keep playing (silently)?
