However, drivers may not have to wait long for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality. The automaker informed Automotive News Europe that the feature will be available “by the end of June at the latest” via an over-the-air (OTA) upgrade.
BMW did not specify which models or how many are affected, however vehicles with the manufacturing number “6P1” will not have Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. It’s unclear whether the problem is limited to a certain region; according to Automotive News Europe, drivers across the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, and France have reported getting their new vehicles without either functionality.
