Apple added support but BMW has to enable the feature on their side...

Hopefully BMW has figured this out for MY2020 cars and beyond? |

Not every part of the world has a proper internet connection, so it's limited to the countries that currently do. |

The grip will be the lack of support for AA on the more "price" sensitive phones. Not sure if this is correct but AA is only supported on 8 phones! ![]() https://joyofandroid.com/android-aut...atible-phones/ EDIT: See vvvv ![]() Last edited by omasou; 12-11-2019 at 12:45 PM.. |

Limited Compatibility
From another tech blog:
"The one downside to wireless Android Auto is it will only work with Pixel, Nexus, and Samsung phones" https://www.xda-developers.com/bmw-android-auto-2020/ So, i am all in with Android and have been waiting for this, but will be disappointed if it doesn't work with my LG or Motorola phones. EDIT: I assume the limited compatibility refers to wireless connections only... will direct USB connection be supported by BMW for universal Android compatibility?

Come to find out that the reason was because my ConnectDrive data subscription had expired and the APP are all dependent on the vehicle's independent data connection to populate, even though it was using my phone data to stream the main function. Within a few minutes of renewing it, everything was back up and running. So yes, believe it or not, all APP and interface like CarPlay does use the in-vehicle data connection, to a degree. How do think it validates if you have a current CarPlay subscription. |

My guess is since your subscription expired the car refused to except the stream from the phone. To do what you're saying would require the car to use the Vehicle Mobile Number which you would have to activate w/your carrier as BMW isn't going to pay for that. Not sure how the ConnectedDrive Digital Services communicate w/the mothership but would think it's not using cellular. |

I'm telling you it's dependent on the vehicle's internet connection to populate, not operate. Yes, after it loads and authenticates, your phone takes over for the main function and it uses your phone's data stream but the initial functions is still dependent on the in-vehicle data connection. I'm not going to go around in circles, if you doubt me, contact Connectdrive customer service and they'll confirm it. |

Really? I'd say 95% of my clientele have iPhones. Must be a location thing.
