My friend was telling me how convenient Apple CarPlay is, but I’ve never used it before. I want to start using it, but how do I set up Apple CarPlay in a BMW with iDrive 6?

Setting up Apple CarPlay in your
BMW
sounds like a great idea and is relatively simple!
To set up Apple CarPlay in your BMW with iDrive 6, you should:
  1. Go to Settings, open the Communication menu, and then select Manage mobile devices on your car’s display screen.
  2. Select Connect new device and then Apple CarPlay. The vehicle ID should now be displayed.
  3. On your iPhone, go to Settings, General, and then CarPlay.
  4. Select your car from the Available cars list on your phone by matching the vehicle ID.
  5. Wait a minute or two for your phone and vehicle to establish a connection.
