Android on a 2018 M5

BrntRubber · 03-20-2021, 03:49 PM

Hi All,

Does it come with Andriod Auto?

Anyway to add it to the car?

No, a 2018 M5 does not have Android Auto.

Only cars built after July 2020 have it from the factory, with cars built after July 2019 receiving it as an update which should be done with the fuel vent recall.

There are aftermarket dongles that may work, try the r/androidauto forum, they have a couple of threads going on aftermarket solutions.

Good luck!

That isn't going to give you Android Auto. It will just convert a wired Android Auto system into a wireless Android Auto.

That's disappointing.
