Smartphone NAV directions in instrument cluster and HUD?
Hi,
I saw that the 5 series refresh will allow phone navigation apps to display nav directions in the instrument cluster as well as the HUD. Is it safe to assume that since the G20 runs the same iDrive that we will get this feature too in an update? Maybe with the android auto update that they promised to all iDrive 7 cars? |

It does it with CarPlay? I doubt it will be a 5 series only option, especially with OTA updates.

I really hope this works. I'd love to have CarPlay directions in the HUD!

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple CarPlay directions in the instrument cluster/HUD come to as a software update to iDrive as well. Like TheGrok said, it was a new feature added in iOS 13 that automakers can start implementing.

It may or may not happen. I wouldn't hold your breath.
BMW hasn't been wonderful on expanded features through updates and iOS hasn't concentrated hard on building up CarPlay.

This would be so great! What we get in Live Cockpit Pro is pretty much useless now and of course, in the HUD is where we need it most. Fingers crossed we’ll get the functionality via an update soon!

Only Nav directions using Apple Maps on HUD and instrument cluster. I haven't tried Google maps or Waze yet.

Apple maps and Google maps directions - arrows only in HUD and dash. No map in dash. Waze doesn't work in HUD or dash. What would be cool is if you can have Waze or Apple/Google maps along side BMW Nav in dash and HUD. I don't think that's possible though.

Directions with Apple and Goggle maps work fine with CarPlay and directions in HUD and dash. Waze doesn't.

Ah that could do it. Thanks! Is there any way to force the 07.2020 update to come down? I was given the 11.2019 by the connected app, but it’s not showing 07.2020 as available.

There's a post on here about some official fixes BMW should do if you can't make the internal motion detector turn off. A software update fixes that.
