YouTube Music playlists or prefer HiFi-quality tracks from Tidal BMW Android

off the road or hands off the wheel to stay in touch. Whether you're sending
an SMS or using WhatsApp or another messaging app Android Auto couldn't be
safer.Wireless CapabilityAndroid Auto apps may
appear on your BMW screen but the apps themselves are still being run by your
Android device. That means Android Auto isn't a standalone system; it
requires a constant connection to your phone.Fortunately, you won't need any
cables cluttering up your interior. Pair your car and phone via Bluetooth and
connect to Android Auto over WiFi.Phone
CompatibilityBMW Android Auto supports devices running current
versions of Android; all Google or Samsung devices with Android 10.0 or later
select Samsung devices with Android 9.0 and phones from other brands with at
least Android 11.0.Your device will also need to support 5GHz which nearly
all modern phones do.Please check if your phone supports wireless Android
Auto before ordering this activation. Contact your device manufacturer for
details.Easy Control With iDriveNavigating
around the Android Auto menu will be second nature because it's no different
from the OEM BMW iDrive system. Use the iDrive controller to switch between
iDrive and Android Auto interfaces and navigate apps when in Android Auto
mode.BMWs fitted with a touchscreen allow tapping apps to open just like on
your Android device. When you want to keep your hands on the wheel you can
use the steering wheel buttons too.Voice control is also sure to come in
handy when you just want to focus on the road. Press the voice-control button
on the steering wheel to call up Google Assistant. Ask for directions dictate
messages turn on a playlist and more.Enjoy Android Auto In Any
LocationThe availability of factory-activated BMW Android Auto
may depend on your location but Smartbimmer can activate it for you wherever
you are!

Installation

In some
vehicles, you may be required to update your iDrive software before it will
be possible to activate Android Auto.Enter your VIN above for full
information and requirements for your BMW.BMW Android Auto is activated
through a remote cable coding session. It is a very simple process that takes
no more than 30 minutes.After you complete your order we send you a coding cable
(if you don't have one and add it in the top Add option section).Once you
receive it you will be able to schedule a coding session for the time that
suits you best. During the session, just plug in the cable and follow the
instructions from our technician and Android Auto will be unlocked.To prepare
for your coding session you will need a laptop running Microsoft Windows and
a WiFi internet network that you can connect to in your car.A Mac computer
will not work if you also require a software update. The coding cable must be
plugged into your laptop’s Ethernet port (if you don’t have one you can use
an adapter).Watch the video to understand the cable activation process
better.The Smartbimmer package includes everything necessary for unlocking
Android Auto:

• Remote activation service
• Coding interface (if you add it to your order in the top Add
  option section)

Will my coding still work
if I update my iDrive system?If your dealer upgrades or resets
your iDrive system the above coding (and any other custom modifications) will
most likely be deleted. Cable coding options can be recorded by us for a fee
of $75 irrespective of the number of features.A cable coding session can be
conducted on all modern PCs and many Mac computers running Windows or MacOS.

session.Compatible with:
