Any options to get Android auto on a 2019?

Mccarlin · 07-21-2022, 05:35 PM

I've read all the posts and haven't found anything to allow Android auto to my 2019 M5. Build date seems to be June 2019.

Any options at all? Secondary device?

Replace with Android head unit. Have one on my X5 and it works great for apple CarPlay without have to upgrade the iDrive

Well you can get MMI unit, but I don't really recommend it - they don't work good.

I heard you can upgrade the software. Is that not correct?

installed my MMI over the weekend. been using it for the last few days. Once everything is set up fine the system works flawlessly! i wired it all in and coded AUX so I dont need to wire in an AUX cable. jobs a goodun'

also cost me less than the carplay option from BMW alone and i get youtube/carplay/android auto/screen mirroring/airplay!

I have also installed the MMI. I love it BUT i wish it worked with the touchscreen, i hate not having the touch anymore.

im used to not having touch. i came from a Mercedes CLA 45, which didnt have touch, so wasnt a big deal for me. just glad i can control the MMI unit from my steering wheel buttons

Sorry to bring back an old post, I've looked around for solutions elsewhere but not found any. Looking at the thread above Carluex states it works but these multimedia boxes seem to get bricked by BMW fairly often. I don't want to spend $900 on the bimmertech solution.
