Hello everyone,
I bought my first BMW last week, 2 years old G20. I have multimedia iDrive 7 with expencive option "6U3 Live Cockpit Professional". Does anyone know, is it possible that this version nave no AndroidAuto and at the same time it has AutoCarPlay. I am very disappointed

Try to (OTA) update idrive to the most recent version, Live Cockpit Professional should be shipped with 3 years subscription which allows you to do the OTA updates.

Probably needs to be updated. Android Auto was added on the 07/2020 update.

You can check your update version on the My BMW app or in-car:

1. Car
2. Settings
3. General settings
4. Remote software upgrade (scroll to the bottom)

Steps to connect wireless Android Auto:

• Connect to the car via Bluetooth. This is used for pairing.
• Connect to the car via Wi-Fi Direct. This is used for transmitting the data.
• Make sure your phone's mobile data works while connected to Wi-Fi. This is used for internet.

You may need to do both of these:

• Have mobile data set to always on or 'Switch to mobile data' enabled (preferred). Requires going into developer options on some phones.
• Connect to the car via Wi-Fi Direct and view the IP address (Advanced). Take a screenshot or write it down. Now go to the regular Wi-Fi settings page. Go to the advanced options for the same network and modify the settings. Change from DHCP to Static and enter the IP address from before.

And some sanity checks:

Go to AA settings on your phone and make sure 'Wireless Android Auto' is enabled. Only wireless AA is supported.
AA itself is not available in every country, although it sounds like you are in a supported country. List of countries here: https://support.google.com/androidau...2Cwhere-to-use
Lastly, if it seems buggy or unstable after connecting, try updating or uninstalling updates to Google Play Services.

Thanks to everyone.
My dealer answered to me that my model G20 (03.2019.) doesnt have Android Auto.
Only versions produced from 07.2019. and later has it

There are even newer software versions that aren't yet available over the air (OTA), but can be installed by your dealer. Worth a try.

They didnt tell me. I'll insist to find that version.

Thanks
