The moment a lot of people have been waiting for has finally come. Android Auto is going to be available for the entire BMW range starting this Summer. The German car maker announced its plans to introduce the software on its models last year, but it looks like only cars made from July onwards will be lucky enough to get support for Android phones.

They include the models built atop the UKL platform, such as the [COLOR="Red"]X1[/COLOR] or the 2 Series Active Tourer/Gran Tourer, which are still not available with iDrive 7. Other than that, all cars using the latest iDrive will get support from July onwards.

Let me know when you see AA on a MY20 or earlier iDrive 6 vehicle.

Please don't get my intentions wrong, I'd love to see AA in my MY19 G30. Unfortunately, it likely won't ever happen. BMW has close to zero incentive to backport tech to older cars. Certainly not using the methodology they've used over the past many many years.
