Carplay Screen-mirroring

Greyback · 08-12-2021, 07:39 AM

Has anyone had success in being able to mirror their iPhone screen to iDrive (MY 2022 F44)? I've read that you are able to do it through Carplay but when I go to the control center and tap screen mirroring the iDrive never appears. I'm on the same BMW-xxxxx wifi so I'm not sure if this is even possible or if I'm doing something wrong.

Thoughts, information, advice?

What do you mean mirror? CarPlay doesn't work like that. It's a condensed and simplified version of you iPhone screen. Main apps you see are phone, music, maps and a few others.

Screen casting? For some reason I thought you could watch videos on the screen by casting whatever is on your phone...youTube, Netflix, etc.
