Don't have it...nor Apple Car Play. Only got basic Bluetooth to phone. They said it is Bluetooth and Wi-Fi recall so hopefully it will give me car play.

They said the update will be in Q2 when I collected.

I’m intrigued - as I thought this was meant to be OTA?

I was told OTA updates due on 19/5/22 to enable car play when I picked up my new G20 330e last week.

Update - Recall was to enable Wi-Fi and enhanced Bluetooth. Car Play is available OTA over the next 12 days from tomorrow, different models rolled out.

Lovely weather for it :driving: :D

You were correct…if you have Wi-Fi already you might just get the OTA update. I never had any settings relating to Wi-Fi

All good Blaster, they even checked the car over and sent me a video!
I have not noticed a download yet but there seems to be Car Play option this morning, first time I have used the car since, not tried it yet to connect yet.

Update - All sorted. Returned from Holiday last night and thought I would go and investigate today. Went to My BMW app and selected Car Play, it connected and worked. :thumbsup:

I know people have had bad experiences over the past 6-12 months but I really cant fault BMW and my dealer. It was painful at first, but when I eventually got told BMW are not accepting any orders until January and I would get a delivery/build date then, everything they have said has been spot on. I got my car when they said and the deletions have only been wireless charging, update in Q2 for Car Play...spot on!

Gtechniq products purchased last week...time for a clean at the weekend and some driving to be done :driving:
