Like McPurrs said, it's an option. But my dealer told me that it's an option you can buy after receiving the car. No extra hardware needed, just a (paying) software upgrade.

Perhaps this can be coded?

Cannot be coded. Can be purchased in iDrive on MY 2017 produced after July 2016. Many threads exist about it.

This is also what I heard from my dealership. Said it must come with it from factory and could not be add after production.

As already stated, It can be added by purchasing through idrive on cars produced after July 2016. On the 2016 models it had to be ordered from the factory.

I'm pretty certain Car Play was not available on MY 2016 M2s.

You're probably correct. However, I think we agree, earlier produced M2s had to have it installed from the factory.

So much misinformation in this thread. CarPlay was never and will never be available on model year 2016 M2s because they came with iDrive 4 and cannot be upgraded to iDrive 5, which is required.

Model year 2017 M2s made in July 2016 did not come with CarPlay, could not be configured from the factory with CarPlay, and still cannot add CarPlay.

Model year 2017 M2s made in August 2016 and later could be configured with CarPlay from the factory, and can (in some regions) now add CarPlay through the vehicle's ConnectedDrive Store interface if it didn't come with it from the factory.

The only misinformation in this thread is that no one has told the OP that they aren't missing out on anything worthwhile. It's hot dumpster juice in July

I have it and it's a big disappointment. Good for music playback only. Everything is easier without it, especially nav. Will probably work much better with touchscreen in MY2018 models. From the iDrive knob it's just hassle.

Guess I'm one of the few who love it. Has caused zero problems for me and the audio through it sounds better then Bluetooth imo.

Apple CarPlay (Call Issues)

I actually enjoy car play but I have had one really annoying issue. When my i phone 7 phone first connects and I get a call or make a call, that first call starts off ok for about 15 seconds. It then gets garbled and staticky. After about 20 seconds of that the quality slowly improves and the call is crystal clear. Once this happens the next calls are fine. Any ideas to what might be going on?

Thanks

Yea its apples crappy wifi antenna and other things the bluetooth has issues too. Reboot your phone and everything will work better but only for a short time. I have the latest ILEVEL in my car and it does work better but the issue above still does exist.

Initially worked well but now it's non responsive and I want to throw my piece of shit iPhone out the window. Actually not sure whether the problems is with the phone or car but it's so frustrating.

Ios is up to date. Does anyone have any ideas? It keeps freezing and stop responding.

Thanks

I have a late 2016 M2 ðŸ˜ðŸ¤˜

Delete the phone pairing from the car and vice versa (car from phone). Re-pair.

I gave up on car play a while ago. Complete piece of crap. This thing has a long way to go before being 'usable" imo.
Ive had nothing but issues when going from car play to simply using Spotify directly from phone to car. End up having to impair and pair phone...just a headache I tell ya.

I have no issues with carplay at all. In fact I like it a lot. What phone are you all using? Maybe it needs all the speed of the 7? though I doubt that.
