According to Automotive News Europe, BMW is temporarily shipping some new vehicles without support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay after switching chip suppliers. According to reports, the new supplier’s chips are not yet compatible with Android Auto and CarPlay and will require an update for the software to work.

“The processors placed into these cars in the first four months of this year require updated software to be completely functional and offer Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and Wi-Fi capability,” BMW noted in an email.
