The phone connects
Over the car's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi — no cables, no adapter in the port.

Drive
The map on the built-in screen, music through the BMW speakers, guidance on the HUD.
What it does
Touch and iDrive
The screen, the iDrive controller and the BACK button — like the built-in menus.
Guidance on the HUD and cluster
Turns, distance, street, roundabouts and lanes from Google Maps, Yandex Navigator and 2GIS.
What it looks like on the HUD →Sound like a built-in source
Music through the BMW audio system, volume on the usual controls, navigation prompts lower the music. A call or BMW voice control pauses Android Auto.
Alongside CarPlay
Your iPhone still connects through CarPlay. Android Auto and CarPlay take turns without restarting the head unit.
