Should have insisted you did have an issue..."I can't use Android Auto!"

Same my dealer went so far as to say that 3/2020 was the latest update. Why are the dealers doing this not like it cost money for them

My dealer (UK) told me last month that no update was available for my car. Currently running 11.2019 only had 1 OTA update in 11 months ownership of my G21. Staggering how ignorant the dealer network are. I even sent them links to threads on this forum. But they still didn't update my software. BMW should be hugely embarrassed by this.

this is what BMW wrote to me:
"Please be advised that Android Auto at this stage is only available for the vehicle production date past July 2020 or August 2020 depending on the model. BMW Group Australia currently cannot confirm the availability of Android Auto on vehicle build prior to July 2020 production. " complete BS. |

and when I asked how come other countries are having Android Auto retrofitted, this is their response:
"Please note that BMW in Europe may be in their own independently managed market and we are unable to comment on different market." looks like we in Australia are being shafted. |

I'm in New Zealand and got it with the 07/20 update. Seems it's a tough task getting it without having an issue with the idrive. I explained that the screen switched off while driving once while the car was in for a recall and they updated it.

If it does you would have a valid reason to complain as it's not available. Until then, I suspect the dealer would only be able to update your software if you were experiencing an issue/issues that the new update resolved |

Just got my G20 back from its 1-year service and the dealer updated my iDrive software to 07/2020.60 which should from what I've read have Android Auto enabled but there is no option to launch it from the app section (Car Play is now there, but it's of no use to me). The updated electronic iDrive manual now makes mention of Android Auto so wondering if anyone else is seeing it who has the latest software or is there another activation step that is pending before this is available to Australians?

Held the button for -30s until the screen turned off. I am seeing other Australians (and a NZer) having issues with it. I hope it's not a regional thing, as it's working for me now (US).

dealer updated my M340i to 07.2020.60 today. Android Auto is simple to set up and works well..it appears as another source in the Media menu. My Pixel phone supports Wireless Android Auto. You can then select individual phone Apps for Android Auto use. I just enabled Maps, Spotify and TuneIn Radio and all worked straight away. With Spotify you get all of the Album graphics and track info.. Happiness filled
