Installed the update earlier today. I'm thankful for the upgrade, however I can only see the option for Apple Car play under Apps. No Android auto

You may need to reboot/ reset I drive to have it show up.

Press and hold the volume/power button for 20-30 seconds ( feels like forever). I drive will reboot.

After I had done that, AA was available.

Update completed successfully by Canadian BMW M235 2020 owner

So I did the update via the Connected app on my phone which then allowed me to upload to the car. All went well but a couple of funny things did happen

1) The remote car start function which was enabled on my BMW connected app and key for prior to update, seem to disappear after update. I noticed in the setting in Idrive 7 it disabled remote start which I have now since turned back on.

2) I now get the BMW terms and conditions on start up that I need to hit OK before driving off in the morning...

Other than that everything seems to work fine just have not found alot of new features in my M235I Gran coupe yet.

Anyone else see anything new with the software update?

Thanks, I held the volume/power button for 20-30 seconds. iDRIVE turned off ( heard actuators or some sounds)--> pressed the button again, which turned the iDRIVE display on. The only option visible is Car play.

Android is in there you got to pair your android phone and make sure app is downloaded on your phone. All the stuff appeared after I paired up phone. I wa using it on weekend...playing music from phone ..Google assistant ..calls Google maps etc. Pretty slick...now this car is fully teched up!

Can anyone tell me, do I need to order the "Enhanced Bluetooth with Wireless Charging" in order to use Android Auto wirelessly, for Spotify and Maps?

I suppose a better way to ask my question is, if I don't select the option "Enhanced Bluetooth with Wireless Charging", do I have to connect my phone with a cable to use Android Auto?

It hadn't been available for the last while, but seems to be available now. My order is due to go into production wk8, so trying to find out if I can add it to the spec now! Along with the HK upgrade, also available again! Fingers crossed

You can connect your phone to the car by bluetooth to take advantage of cableless transfer of the call to the speakers of the car (and obviously use the mic of the car in the call). The same (cableless) way of communication is also true with Spotify. I can use all of of the above without having the wireless charging option in my F44.

I spent a good bit of time driving around today doing errands. Oops and burbles from the exhaust when accelerating are still there. I even turned off radio and opened windows, just to be certain it was not the "active sound" I was hearing. This is a US spec m235 gc.
