Anybody heard of this feature coming back in the future?
I don't see them and was told by the CA that it's all through CarPlay now. It doesn't make a lot of sense that BMW would make a basic function like that only available through a separate subscription service. I get they charge for lots of these services, but this seems pretty fundamental.
Agreed, I used to like how I could control and move between radio station on tunein through idrive, and now apple carplay is glitchy on tunein for example... my dealer doesn't even know theres a .45 update out there, I'm taking it in next week and won't leave till they update it
