Historically, Idrive supported two versions of apps. There were "cloud based apps" through connected services, and apps that were on your smartphone such as the BMW connected app and apps that supported BMW connectivity (TuneIN, Spotify, iHeart Radio, ....)

The video you reference is for the cloud based apps only.

From iDrive 7, BMW removed support for native smartphone apps unless its via Carplay.

Its ashame. Context switching between carplay and core idrive is a PITA.
