Really not a fan of their grill change. I bet it's gone in a few years.The i8 was retired over a year ago and was always a hybrid. Their new "flagship" electric is the iX.
Wait, what? They pay BMW to unlock CarPlay projection, per year?It’s pretty pathetic that the charge $80/year for CarPlay. Apple should restrict them from doing that.
No, CarPlay is free for BMW since MY2019+Wait, what? They pay BMW to unlock CarPlay projection, per year?
Tesla's lack of CarPlay and Android Auto is a serious negative.I hope Tesla is paying attention. That's my one hangup right now on pulling the trigger...
They don’t anymore. For once people complaining about subscriptions changed things. Just got a 330e and was seriously going to go with another maker if they tried that scam with me. I don’t mind paying for things but hate getting ripped off.It’s pretty pathetic that the charge $80/year for CarPlay. Apple should restrict them from doing that.
I think the chances of Tesla adding CarPlay are extremely slim. They have their own plans for enhancing their system which is better than most already. There were rumors over the past couple of years of them adding Apple Music, but that seemed to go away.I hope Tesla is paying attention. That's my one hangup right now on pulling the trigger...
Apple does not charge auto manufacturers for Car Play. There is no reason for BMW to had tried to charge for it (they since relented) other than to pad their own revenue.I wonder if Apple gets a cut?
It’s “head-up display” (singular), since it applies only to the (singular) driver, referring to how they can look at the display with their head up.
”Heads up” is, I believe, an expression from American football.
Was just redesigned last year. In practice you are rarely on that launcher screen.The CarPlay interface is looking very dated with its 13 year old home screen design.
This car is cringe worthy on so many levels. "On the BMW curved display...".
Who says cringe worthy to cars anyway? People's attitude on this forum is really next level "cringe worthy" 🤣so if you can’t afford something it’s all the sudden “cringe worthy”?
What part of their post gave an indication of their income level or ability to afford this vehicle?so if you can’t afford something it’s all the sudden “cringe worthy”?
This. It’s so much worse than Google Maps in the UK. It’s got better, but it’s still nothing compared to Google Maps - which can find literally anything anywhere. It almost stopped me switching to iPhone because I didn’t want to switch then just install all the Google apps I used on my Android phone on the iPhone. But I got a new car with built in Tom Tom sat nav, which circumvented the problem.Sorry to ruin the party, but Apple Maps directions and search functions are pretty much useless in most parts of Europe compared to Google. Would have been much better PR to launch this first in San Francisco, rather than in Europe.
