Bluetooth can be hacked way too easy for that to be used instead.

2) Is that really the case? That was a minor reason I switched to the iPhone (well, that and it was a Christmas/birthday gift). I thought it was because they didn't want the almighty Bayerische Motoren Werke driver to use the plebeian Android phones *UX designer sips tea with extended pinky and drops monocle into teacup* Gasp, the horror! Besides, the UX of the iDrive is still a bit complicated (at least the regular one for a 2018 X2 service loaner, I don't know about the upgraded ones where you can write on the controller and fully integrate with the BMW app), and in some regards, somewhat less intuitive than the CCC (but then again I'm sure it's just a learning curve thing; I didn't go too crazy with it since I only had it for a couple of days).

https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/w...-android-auto/ Toyota just caved and has confirmed it will start to offer Android Auto. https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/p...e-near-future/ Even Porsche is now saying they will be offering it "soon". What major car manufactures are left? BMW will eventually offer it. People are 100% making car buying decisions based on Android Auto availability. |

Have a friend at work who just got a new X5 and showed it to me today. Very nice vehicle. But after reading this thread I was curious about the card. When I asked, my friend knew nothing about it (first BMW and a lot of tech to learn on this vehicle). While he was showing to me I noticed it in a plastic pouch in the console. I pulled it out. He had no clue, thought it was just part of the console.
I have a feeling that this may be the fate for this feature for a lot of people. It will just stay in the car. Making it less secure. Have no idea why anyone thought this was a good idea I know I would hate this on my M2. So glad I got it before this becomes widespread. |

Good to see many of the features that could only be activated through coding finally made their way into iDrive.

The chime is a legal requirement for all cars sold in the U.S., at least for the drivers seat. Can't say if it's now mandatory for the front passenger seat as well, but it wasn't in the past.

That will be great! I only hope that it will be retrofitted, either by software update or coding since I plan on getting an M340 Xi soon
Thanks for the update

Card key

I saw you said the 3 series comes with the card key. Do you have to have the wireless charger option?? I ordered my 330i with M sports package and some other packages but not the wireless charger option. Should I get it? |
