Thanks all,
Changed from G11 to G12 as had the opportunity to do so... was looking at a stock car - but it had no tablet. It had xdrive but i wasnt fussed about that. Tried to swap in a car from another dealer that did have tablet - but they were not playing - so as an existing customer the dealer offered to keep my generous discount deal on a factory order - they had a slot that is going in to build next month. As am 6ft 3 decided a long would be more use for passengers ( or me if i can find a driver )

Touch Command does far more than control the rear seats. It controls everything from lighting, to rear sunshades (roof / sides / rear), climate control, even audio selections. It's a cool option. My passengers love it.

Hi
Any idea when the change with regards to comfort seats comes into effect as I am looking at a 740li which at the moment comes with comfort rear seat as well as soft close and gesture control ? Cheers Steven |

It has already happened -
Mine is coming with soft close that I didn't order - I know the dealer told me that it had changed for MY17 builds and that BMW were adjusting my spec - so I wasn't paying more but gained soft close.

And yet the Driver's Guide that download to my iPad for the VIN of my M240i (It has Wi-Fi and enhanced bluetooth with wireless charging) gives you the instructions on how to operate Apple CarPlay!
My dealer was at BMW UK for training last week and asked about CarPlay. He was told it's coming soon on the 7, but it can't be specified yet...

My gut feel is there will be a firmware update in September, possibly around the usual iPhone launch event.
BMW are a nice PR coup to have on stage during a launch presentation for your new idevices...

I reckon the required hardware for it is the enhanced bluetooth and wi-fi hotspot that the 7 comes with as standard (An option I specced on my 2 as I like having my work and personal phones linked to the bluetooth at the same time).
So the only likely change will be software... I pick up my car on Friday so will be interesting to see what options are there at the moment.

Well CarPlay is sort of out there...
My Handover guy said with a spec like mine (ands the 7'er has all the right hardware) for cars built with the new iDrive you will be able to purchase it from the ConnectedDrive store... The option is there but I can't seem to get the transaction to go through, it keeps bouncing back that there is an error... So It may not quite be ready yet but it's in the post...

to update my VIN in the vin decoder does not show 6CP.
Vin on a 760iL in another showroom does show 6CP and it was built weeks before mine. Does seem BMW doesn't have a f'ing clue on this...

Yes it is.
I suspect you'll be in the same situation as me - having to attempt to buy it off the connected drive store (which so far just brings back an error for me). Make sure you download the 7 specific Connected app as that enables your phone to get updates wirelessly rather than having to be plugged in (so the 7 specific app now works in other iDrive 5 cars like my M240i, so I suspect a renaming of it soon...)
