Do you dream of using Apple Maps on your car screen or listening to Spotify through the BMW speakers? All this is possible with BMW CarPlay — an original Apple system that lets you use your favorite iPhone apps on the iDrive display.
BMW CarPlay upgrade supports devices running iOS up to version 14. With the newest iOS, you can take advantage of Google Maps and Waze while navigating through the city. You'll be able to use the best features from both apps, like getting the quickest rerouting that will save you time (Waze), or using navigation even if you're offline (Google Maps).
