Guys,
Finally, I have apple carplay(not that it is important for an M3, but something nice to have....) You can download it from ConnectedDrive store for $300. My prod date is Aug-2016 Thanks, TJ |

I'm pretty computer illiterate. How do I get Apple CarPlay on my 2015? Is it possible. I see Connected Drive is a BMW site which is good but how on earth do I get it to download to my car. Thanks in advance and excuse my ignorance.

That's so cool,, I'll wait to see how everybody likes it.. My dealer found my car and shipped it to my dealership.. I wanted it, but it wasn't on the car..
I would like to see someone to make a poll on it,, to see how everybody responds .... Do you like it and use it Don't use it Would've never ordered it for the $300 Or something like that...

As soon as I start the car, my iPhone connects immediately and Spotify starts playing automatically. If you are a Spotify user, the built-in app makes it easy to jump between your playlists and control your music. I wouldn't hesitate to order it again. |

Opened Connected Drive through my car, didn't see CarPlay anywhere. Maybe I need to it some time so the car can update?
I'm a MY 2017 F80, mid-August 2016 build date. |

Not sure why it won't show for you. Call BMW genius hotline and check with them. I assume you have wireless charging and idrive 5.0 ? TJ |

My specific build date is August 15, 2016. Edit: To be clear, I'm not sure whether the above is actually true. It's just what a member of another BMW forum had reported. |

FWIW,,, my official build date / start of production per the decoder is 7/9/16 and I had Carplay listed as an available subscription option in my connected drive store which is where i got it.
I do want to point out that my car was ultimately stuck in the possible "Diff limbo" at the factory and did not finish production / and was not released until late September, 16. Atleast thats what the genius folks were telling me at that point. I don't know if that had any thing to do with me being able to have the Carplay option ?? In any case, I still think after getting it and played with it a little, its not worth the 321 (with tax) at the current level of integration. |
