CarPlay issue

F80_Bryan · 09-25-2021, 07:41 PM

I have the factory installed Apple CarPlay from a 2017 M3 with a build date of 07/16. It doesn't always auto-connect or it's hard for it to find the device. I'm not sure if this is a common issue it just has been getting frustrating. It also doesn't always connect through the menu and says no connection found. I've tried doing hard resets and it will help for a little then next time I go in the car it doesn't work again. Anyone with a similar problem or who knows a way to troubleshoot this issue would be greatly appreciated. Not sure if it's a firmware issue or if it is a common problem in general. Thanks in advance

You can dealer if you still have warranty - they should update your firmware, which may help.

I'm thinking it probably needs a firmware update, and I'm out of warranty. I was planning on getting full-screen car play anyways. I will hit you up about that

Did you confirm you have the WiFi antenna installed? You need to take the HU out to check for it. Made a world of difference in terms of connectivity.

If CarPlay is from factory, then it has WiFi antenna fitted.
