Question Screen Mirror

Hi everyone,

I saw this video on YouTube and was wondering if the 2017+ F22's include this feature since they come with iDrive 5.0.

The one below isn't working

Thank you!

Thank you!
I don't have the feature on my '17 F87. I heard it could be coded on but have yet to see confirmation. Hopefully someone can figure it out.

I contacted BMW Genius about this and they told me

"Thanks for contacting the BMW Genius Team.

The BMW 2 Series does not offer screen mirroring. This feature is currently only available on the BMW 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, X5 and X6. We do not have any information regarding plans to offer this feature on the BMW 2 Series. We regret any disappointment this may cause."

You can code Miracast on any ID5 system.

I'm close to just ordering a cable and trying myself, my coder wasn't able to do it. Can you set me up with all the software I need?

Almaretto, would you happen to know where it is on the coding cheat sheet?
I'm still waiting for my car to be delivered so I haven't dived into looking through the car for the miracast.

By you saying you can code this in does it mean I would no longer have to buy a Bimmertech Smart View HD to cast my Android screen?
I would save so much money if I could just code it since I already have the cable.

Wow, it is that easy to enable - no 3rd party tools needed to have it working?

I can't wait to test this when the car gets delivered!

It is part of my Launcher Cheat Codes. I do not use cheat sheets.

I have succeeded multiple times.

There is no advantage to 3.28.1 over 3.27.1. You just need light version of Psdzdata the is >= your I-Step.

Miracast requires ID5/ID6.

If your Windows Region/Keyboard/Language settings have anything Asian, Russian, or Italian, you will be asked for activation code. Code is free, but can only be acquired directly from Tokenmaster.
