Android Auto availability

Curval · 01-23-2021, 10:19 AM

I've just ordered a 2017 G31, used, from a BMW dealership, and I've not received it yet. What is the availability of Android Auto? I googled and saw an article saying they were sending it out over software updates, but I don't know what vehicles that would apply to.

In case it's relevant, this vehicle has enhanced bluetooth and the wireless hotspot. It doesn't appear to have Carplay.
