## Caption

Learn the differences between the BMW iDrive system and Apple’s CarPlay and how to switch between them.

Note: Apple CarPlay is a product of Apple. Approved apps, and their layouts, positions and functions are subject to change at Apple’s discretion. CarPlay requires that your iPhone be running the latest iOS version and has an active data plan. CarPlay uses the data plan of the connected iPhone and is subject to the fees and restrictions of the user’s wireless data plan. Siri, WiFi and Bluetooth must be turned on. You cannot connect your iPhone to the vehicle’s WiFi hotspot and CarPlay simultaneously. CarPlay uses a wireless connection in BMW vehicles and is not supported through USB. Some BMW onboard features will not be accessible when CarPlay is active.
