Another bug - I updated to iOS 10.3 Beta 1 (on an iPhone 7 Plus), and on a recent trip the CarPlay Maps screen went black and there was no voice navigation.
Workaround - I used the build-in BMW nav system for the first time. And yes, it's much better than CarPlay Maps. For example: "Prepare to turn right..." is something that Siri never says. She also never says "Stay in the carpool lane" if and when it's open and faster, etc. etc. etc. Not to mention the sexier voice! Caveat - iOS 10.3 is still in beta, so there *will* be bugs.

Does Carplay work when Apple Watch is connected to phone???
Carplay isn't working for me anymore and I think it's because of my apple watch. The watch switches connections between Wifi and Bluetooth 4.0 to connect to the phone, whereas Carplay uses Wifi only. If the two cannot establish simultaneous connection to the phone then I don't see a whole lot of point in having the watch because I am now sort of comfortable with the Carplay interface. Anyone else faced this issue ???

Its not a hardware change. If you have ID5 from 7/2016 you can buy a FSC pack which includes VO code 6CP for apple car play. Once the FSC are loaded you then code apple car play and add 6CP to the VO. Done it works I know cause I have done it ! To go even more if you update your cars ILEVEL to 3.60+ you can even have ID6 running in your M2 See

Did you have the WiFi wireless option installed?
My service guy has trouble enabling CarPlay and he said it's because my car was ordered without it. Quote:

It's FSC related the one for car play needs to be loaded. I don't think the dealers have the ability to do this yet

I've read through this thread more than once, and I cannot seem to either a) find or b) fully understand the situation with CarPlay and the US market.
My car was finished on 1/31/17, but I did not order the option. Can I either via the dealer or an update/purchase in the car, add this option after the fact? Or am I hosed? |

So let me recap why I opened the thread. There are certain cars, mine included, that were built in a specific time frame and ended up in a CarPlay limbo. If I am correct its as follows: MY2017 Model Built in July 2016 iDrive 5.0 installed The MY2016 models have iDrive 4 I believe so they won't have the new iDrive nor CarPlay unless some hardware gets updated (anyone feel free to correct me if wrong) The MY2017 cars built AFTER August 1st have iDrive 5.0 and also can add CarPlay to their builds at purchase time. Pretty sure it can be added afterwards if you ordered without it and then decide to do so, based on BMW Canada allowing this to happen, hence why I opened this thread since Canada was doing it but BMW USA Genius keeps replying that there is no info on availability yet. Now, after 5 months of ownership, I have not dreaded missing CarPlay, and after reading some users feedback about it I can live without it. Reason I wanted to at least try it out was because I had a car with it before but it was a touch screen radio so pretty sure the BMW not being touch screen wont be the same feel. I do all my Spotify and Pandora thru BT or USB when charging, and the GPS on the BMW is good so I dont need MAPS or Google Maps from the phone.

Exactly. CarPlay is pointless.

MY16 - ID4 so we're SOL unless hardware is upgraded MY17 - July to September - ID5 installed but CarPlay was not enabled. Enabled for free if you paid for 6CP or can be added. MY17 - October onwards - CarPlay enable from factory if you chose 6CP. |

If you did not pay upfront, you can pay now and enable it. After that, if you paid for it, it comes enabled from factory. You can still buy it later as well, or save yourself the money and just code it on. |

My week 32 (August) M2 came from the factory with Apple CarPlay.
I remember people with ID5 hoping to enable Apple CarPlay after the fact but missed any posts where someone confirmed they had actually done it. |

I have reached out to BMW Geniuses 3 times and the last time was to tell them Canada confirmed this was being done and their response was posted earlier here. They basically said it was not available at the moment.
