Touch Command

Hi all,

Does anyone know if you can buy the tablet and use it as intended ( bar the chargin dock) with cars not factory fitted with it?

Am about to buy a G11 (UK) but the cars offered do not have it as built ( but the deal is sweet)


Thanks

Paul

Well

according to the tech documents.

The tablet connects to the car via Wi-Fi Direct. with that said, the BMW interface is a standalone APK that is not available anywhere. I would guess that the BMW application on the touch command MIGHT be coded to the VIN of the car. That is a guess though.

At the moment, no it is not possible without great difficulty and expense. The Snap-In Adapter (charging dock) is an integral part. Both the adapter and the BMW Specific tablet have 3 sensors to add 2 additional layers of security (one for the tablet and one for the car).

Congrats. You'll have the updated version also

If it isn't included or you didn't add it...get Apple Car Play Compatibility as well.

There is no option code to add carplay to a build.

The 6CP code mentioned in the US doesnt exist. Dealer phoned BMW, tried creating cars for oct or even nov build.. nothing / zip / nada.

So either it is free and automatic or im not having car play.
