No Android Auto .

Banzeta · 11-22-2023, 01:04 PM

I've recently had my 2019 Z4 2.0i iDrive updated to the 2023 edition, I was under the impression it would have Android Auto, its now got Apple Car Play (which is of no use to me), is it a case of returning to dealer to get it put on?
Thanks for any help.

So if you click on Apps down below on the left hand side there is no Android option there as far as installed apps?

It should he there from the factory. Have you tried asking the built-in voice commands to "open android auto"?

No, nothing on the Apps screen, Apple is listed but not Android. I've just tried the 'voice commands' and the reply was "This vehicle does not have the Android Auto function".

Odd. See if there's any software updates available or you might have to take it to the dealer.

Thanks for your replies/help anyway.
