CarPlay Bug

I've been having a strange CarPlay issue that happens intermittently, probably about 10% of the time.

When the car starts up, CarPlay will appear on the iDrive screen in the Music app. I can try to switch back to FM or Satellite radio, but after a second it always jumps back to CarPlay's built-in Music app. There is no way to choose another audio source until the car is turned off and disconnected from the iPhone 6S Plus (running iOS 10).

Turning off the car and locking it, thereby severing the connection with the iPhone, usually resolves the issue. I'm not sure why I'm unable to choose a different audio source about 10% of the time, but I'd like to know. I have a feeling this is a bug in iDrive 5.0.

I can't get CarPlay to connect half the time. I've switched to just bluetooth audio for now. Frustrating.

Strange. I've not had a single problem connecting with CarPlay. Which iPhone and iOS version are you using?

For folks with NBT EVO, bimmer-tech offers a software only based retrofit for $400-600(get a quote from them). This method disables online based connected drive and needs to be recoded if the dealership does a software update. A disclaimer from bimmer-tech states that dealerships may have issues performing a software update due to this retrofit.

Nothing yet from my side, I had been in communication with my local dealers Genius but no information yet as to availability. Maybe by the end of this month we will hear something?

I was looking forward to seeing if anyone in Canada had got it done since they communication for Canadian builds was put out there stating the dealer would retrofit. But nobody from Canada has updated here.

I was just in to do my break in service and totally forgot to ask anyone about this! Guess I'll send my SA a email to see if he has any news.

I was having similar issues. I deleted car out of my iPhone 7 then added it again and it seems to be working fine now.

Thats the point of this thread. Not ALL 2017's can have it added afterwards. Builds prior to August cannot have Apple Car Play added. If your build was August going forward I believe you can.

@comacow02 the cars in the limbo are MY2017 that were built in July which although have iDrive 5.0 can't have Apple CarPlay but its really up in the air since BMW Canada had distributed information saying it would be done at the dealer around September but no word from BMW USA.

I have come to peace with it not being available, the streaming thru Bluetooth has worked fine so far, some connection hiccups here and there but overall happy with it.

Ok so it sounds like any 2017 M2 that was built after August has the ability to have Carplay added. However, do any of you know how this is actually done? Is it a paid software update at the dealer? Is additional hardware needed?

Do any of you know?

Nobody knows yet. However, BMW Canada expects to have details and make them publicly available before the end of the year. Other markets are expected to make their own upgrade details available, but none have confirmed anything at this point.

Speculation is that it will be available through the ConnectedDrive App Store.

Im having the same issue. Also 6S. Also 10.1.1. Same thing you described exactly. Super frustrating.

Also noticed other strange anomalies. Pandora refusing to connect through carplay for one. Also, maybe 30% of the time when I try to play music stored on my phone though the Apple Music app, the interface comes up and I press play but nothing plays. Today it did it but when it played it was playing through the speakers on the phone, not the car. WTF. I could use the iDrive controller and the in car display to roam through my music content on the phone and play different songs, that all played out the phone speakers instead the car speakers. I'm starting to wish I had my $300 back. Carplay is a big letdown thus far.

I'm using iOS 10.2 now and the issue remains. This may be caused by iDrive. We'll see if they resolve it in the first iDrive 5 update.

Apple Car Play Working

I have a 2017 M2 7/2016 confirmed Apple Car Play working.

Retro fit was $170.00 from a user from another forum but involves coding the ECU and loading the FSC for Nav if the car is updated @ BMW. It replaces all the FSC for the NBT unit with new ones.

Its working in my car.

There is no limbo mode for July 2016 ID 5 it's all related to have the FSC installed I to the car.

The FCS pack I bought included everything with apple car play.

Once loaded it does work for July 2016 builds. Either way $170 is cheaper then 300 bmw offer.

Only issue is if your dealer updates your idrive you will need to load the fsc codes to your car

Bust www.fscmap.com for more info
