About this app
🚙 Unlock the full potential of your BMW Connected Apps-enabled car running IDrive 4-6 to enhance your driving experience!Combined with an active BMW ConnectedDrive subscription or the Mini Connected option, this project adds most of the features of Android Auto to your car as unofficial BMW/Mini Connected Apps:
🎵 See music apps on your phone as media sources in IDrive
🎙️ Interact with voice assistants installed on your phone
🔔 Read, listen and interact with notifications through the car's controls
📅 View your calendar in the car and start navigating to appointments
🗺️ Trigger car navigation from phone apps
👀 Read various diagnostic info and statistics from your car
🧩 Extend capabilities through optional add-ons (such as screen mirroring)
🚧 Custom map and navigation based on Mapbox
✨ By using the native BMW Apps protocol, exactly like the old Spotify app, this app does not modify your car in any way, and all of the extended capabilities are only provided while your phone is connected.
⚠️ BMW/Mini Connected Apps requires that the MyBMW or MINI app for your car is installed and that it can successfully enable your IDrive5+ car's Apps checkbox, or that your IDrive4 car has the ConnectedDrive Connection Assistant option. This usually requires having an active BMW ConnectedDrive subscription, which is typically included for a few years after you bought your new car.
