Wireless Apple CarPlay on M240i

2addicted · 11-16-2016, 06:44 PM

So just found my 2017 M240i is able to connect Apple CarPlay wirelessly. I thought G30 5 series will be the first car with this feature! Anyone else have tried this?

Oh, I actually thought that was the only way it would connect. However, I did get some skipping that I didn't get using iDrive - I'll try plugging it in next time.

The thing is BMW boasts so much about this feature on G30 5 series, and claimed it's the first car can do this wirelessly. Kinda surprised it's already there on our 2er!

Yep that's how it works on my 230i. Been using wireless CarPlay since I got it last week. I like it.

I like wireless car play. I wouldn't say it's really needed for $300 but it looks nice if you're an Apple fan and want to spend the $300 for the UI. I don't really see a need for it yet.

This is certainly not accurate for G30 then?

Is this something that can be coded to enable, as I didn't get it (although the dealer said it was rubbish?)
