BMW Apple CarPlay Not Working? Worry No More!

[@bimmer-tech]

At 5:57 Dylan is talking about CarPlay MMI Prime Retrofit. Original Apple CarPlay for BMW is wireless only and will not work by plugging in your phone.

Hi…. My voice services are working but the display has stopped working… don’t know why… tried every step here but nothing works 😢

[@aaronblackmon5520]

It only messes up when I’m in a specific part of town.

I just noticed my CarPlay wouldn’t connect anymore last night, BMW iDrive connects via Bluetooth but if I try to select the “Connect via Apple CarPlay” instead of “Connect via BMW iDrive” it just doesn’t connect, it’ll even DISCONNECT entirely. I will try updating my iOS tonight when I get off work

[@RadiantHealer]

My iDrive won’t activate the wifi 😭

[@RadiantHealer]

*ahem* turn off engine and hold the Volume/power button for 30 seconds. Upon restarting the car, my iPhone asked if I wanted to connect and it’s working again :)

[@bimmer-tech]

great to know you fixed the issue! Cheers!

[@floadingtv1466]

@@RadiantHealeri lovd you it fixed my issue

[@thedieselweasel201]

For some reason it worked before but for some reason it just shows my iPhone “user’s iPhone” but not Apple play. So audio works but I can’t use maps or do anything on the screen

[@bimmer-tech]

There's probably some software issue, so maybe the update would do the work for you :)

[@PainKillerJane]

Sir, my apple carplay works for my 2022 430i but all of a sudden Waze will not work or display, yet it works for me in my wifes BMW. Ive tried everything@@bimmer-tech

[@bimmer-tech]

Again, seems like software issue. The best way for you is to visit your BMW dealer.

Do you have tips for XM satellite radio

[@bimmer-tech]

Hi Michelle! Your XM radio doesn't work?

[@bimmer-tech]

Hi, you should change that from your Apple device :)

[@TeemZilla]

@@bimmer-tech how ?

[@PizzaWithPowers]

It was working one day and the next it wasn’t 😢

[@bimmer-tech]

You mean the OEM Carplay?

[@ethancambronero2998]

Hold the power button to reset don’t worry won’t mess up any settings

[@badspinbowling]

My Google maps works BUT it goes mute whenever I am using the phone. Any suggestions?

[@EditsBySosa]

+👍 for following these steps to get it to work.

[@LUISVASQUEZ-jy4fj]

I don’t have Apple car play and I have a 430i grancoupe 2017 , and I don’t see the CarPlay option

[@bimmer-tech]

Apparently it's not unlocked. We can unlock it for you within our coding bracket :)

[@rbmwiv]

I have a 2018 x5 f15 and the sat radio, car play and the navigation all quit working. I have tried all the steps several times and nothing has changed.

[@bimmer-tech]

If you have our products, contact our support team - [e-mail]. If not, you should go and visit your local BMW service.

[@rbmwiv]

@@bimmer-tech thanks took it to the dealer and they said the hdd failed in the head unit and want $3000 to replace it. I am waiting to hear from BMW North America because it only has 40k miles on it. If they won’t cover it I know a guy who has been working on them for 30 years he said he could put a used one in and program it to the car for $400.

[@MrEye4get]

This might be a weird question but here goes. My 2022 BMW X1 only supports Apple CarPlay. I own an Android phone. I see two options: Pay about $800 USD for a new iPhone or pay about $1000 for a Bimmer Tech MMI box and necessary cables. The iPhone seems reasonable (as long as it connects) as I wouldn't have to tear open my BMW to install the more expensive MMI box. I do like Android Auto and the other features of the MMI box. What's your recommendation?

[@bimmer-tech]

Can't you just activate Android Auto?

[@zhiminliang6856]

Apple CarPlay with google map not working. I tried everything that suggested in the internet and It is still not working

[@bimmer-tech]

You should visit your local service or BMW dealership we guess

[@Day1Yoga]

Problem solved. Thank you!

[@bimmer-tech]

Glad it helped! Cheers!

[@marlenelisa09]

Do you have any idea why i can‘t activate wifi in the car?

[@bimmer-tech]

Maybe it's not compatible with your car :)

[@saadsohal]

you literally spent 1:45 minutes just blabbing without giving any solutions. good job.

[@bimmer-tech]

What about the rest of the video? :D
