How to control my GoPro from iDrive?

[Super Spartan]

I've seen this on the BMW M2 page that you can control your GoPro via iDrive.

Now I have a 2018 M4, could I control the camera via iDrive? How to get this setup/done?

Correct me if Im wrong but this is a copy and paste. I know it worked on MY16 F82.. havent try it on MY18 F80

In order to function, all you have to do is download the BMW Connectedapplication and the GoPro App application and launch the application and connect your smartphone to your car via the USB cable.

Connect your GoPro to Wi-Fi to your smartphone, then launch your BMW Connected application. And from your dashboard go to Apps -> Other Apps and you 'll see the GoPro apps, you' ll see several action possibilities:

Switch from photo mode to video mode

Trigger recording a snapshot or video

Change video modes

The gopro control has been added to the m lap timer app. Install the app on your phone and you'll see a GoPro menu in it. Follow the on screen instructions. Pretty simple.

The bmw connected app was the old way. They deprecated that functionality quite a few revisions ago and integrated it into the M laptimer app.
