CarPlay is better in the 2020 M5
When I last tried CarPlay in my 2017 X5M nav did not work with the HUD and that was enough for me not to use it.
I had no idea that it now works in the M5. I'm all in now. I love it. Spotify works as well and it was not working in the BMW iDrive platform. Anyone else finding CarPlay useful now? Last edited by gblansten; 01-16-2020 at 12:23 PM.. |

Apple CarPlay still is not supported in the HUD! I really don't see much use for either Apple CarPlay nor Android Auto when you have a really nice infotainment system like the IDrive 7 especially the Spotify App which has full support and I use all the time other than that what else would you need beside making phone calls while you're in the car anyway.

I don’t use Waze. I’m just in CarPlay and then use the voice button and request a destination. Then it shows up in the HUD. Also, I can scroll the next and previous song when in Spotify from the HUD.

Thanks for checking that out. What navigation maps able to show up when using CarPlay? Do google maps show up on HUD? Or Apple maps?

I have issues with my car play. When I'm listing to satellite or FM and i open an app that has audio (or sometimes not even audio), idrive will automatically switch my input to carplay. Does that happen to anyone else? It's annoying.

And I thought it was just me. It’s making me crazy. I can’t get waze to display and play the radio at the same time. It worked initially but now if I have Waze on the main screen and use voice control to go to radio, it takes Waze off main screen. Maddening.

i solved this by using the steering wheel to change radio stations. but yes if you need to "change media" it will take you off of carplay but it doesn't take long to get right back to it. Just hit COM and its the top option

It really is stupid what they have now, for years people coded their cars to have full screen apple car play since the old idrive screens weren't near as wide as they are now... i think 10.7 vs 12. Now we have wide enough screens for a split view of carplay and something else but its now impossible

Not that I'm aware of. You can split the screen with other CarPlay things, i.e. Waze on the left, Spotify on the right. But as far as splitting with Waze on the left, then BMW audio, i.e. physical media audio on the hard drive or usb drive, sirius XM, am/fm radio then no, it can't be split. That's what I mean, now we have bigger screen and they take away splitting right when its now viable to do so, lol.

Could you split carplay with idrive stuff before? I thought it wasn't "split" it was just half the screen and the other half just said like CarPlay or some other useless label.
