Just got apple car play this weekend.

Just installed apple car play this weekend in my F15 and G12. It's amazing. It reads your text messages, handles your music, you can ask Siri anything and best of all, you get Waze on the big screen.

PM if you want to learn more and get a great deal.

Doesn't do Waze on the hud. I find that the text notification is hit or miss. I don't know what is going on but I don't always get the pop-up notification.

Strange, mine's worked perfect so far. I'm trying to jailbreak my iphone. There's an app on cydia that will allow you to use other apps like Safari and youtube through apple car play,

Yes, the Head up display in the windscreen.

I use Waze in my wife’s Golf R as the standard VW nav is terrible, but it’s frustrating that you can’t have the map view in the digital instruments. I think I’d be as frustrated by not having it in the HUD.

Is there anyway to do split screen of dual car play? Meaning waze to the left, Pandora to the right? Or is it only possible to split it with Bmw split screen apps?

A lot people are confused. No remote coding services are required to make this work.

Neither Waze nor Google maps will use the HUD. I have tried to keeep both running but lately I find that if I start off in the BMW system with an address entered and then go to Waze, that the BMW nav no longer provides dirtections.
I do get rather consistent voice prompts in Waze, (answering another post) and can put in an address to Waze with voice commands as well.

Getting lot's of PM's. Guys, if your interested in an apple car play solution please make sure the following:

1. Your car has ID 5 or 6. Usually found in newer F15/F16's 2017+
2. Please make sure you have a laptop with an ethernet port + enet cable
3. Send me your name and e-mail along with the last 7 of your VIN.


Thanks

I really like Apple Car Play in my newly purchased 750. My only issue so far is that I've had a few audio dropouts when streaming music from the iPhone. Every once in a while it sounds like it's taking a second for the streaming audio to buffer.
