mmi prime head on over to our website to find out which option works best for you
but in the meantime let's talk about some of the exciting new features for carplay on ios 14.
ios 14 comes with some exciting new features with carplay and one of the most noticeable
would be the appearance now not only do the icons look slightly different but you could
also change your backgrounds to a bunch of different options that apple has to offer
and you can make all these changes in the settings app
another big change is siri not only does it look different but there are two big additions
one you could share your eta with anyone in your contacts with just your voice
and you could send voice messages send a voice message to dylan
okay recording beamer tech is amazing great send it to dylan been your tech yes okay
get sent now let's face it siri doesn't always understand what we're saying with voice to text
so sending a voice message is a great alternative to avoid being overly distracted while driving
ios 14 also didn't miss apple music now it's finally caught up to spotify
and allows auto play mode on the cue screen now this allows you to replay
any cued playlist song or album that you choose
there are three new app categories as well easy charging parking and quick food ordering now
these are for developers that make third party apps they offer templates for them to make some
great new apps for you parking will help you find and pay for parking which is great if
you're in a city and need to plan quickly and efficiently we're looking forward to the quick
food ordering which allows you to place an order without taking your eyes off the road
which is perfect if you're too busy to place an order normally some exciting features coming with
apple maps is the addition of being able to see speed cameras and traffic light timers now this
will help cut down on tickets and let you know how much time you have to order that cheeseburger
another exciting feature is the ev roots planner this allows owners of electric
bmws to be able to plan their route according to what compatible electric hookups they need
it will also check how much charge you have left and let you know when you need to recharge
so ios 14 is pretty cool right but how do you actually update it well on your
phone it's easy just download the new software update and you'll get the new carplay software
now if you're one of our mmi prime users ios 14 is just as easy to obtain if you have an iphone
6s or newer it is compatible with our bmw carplay retrofit however you might have to change the
wi-fi settings from default 36 to 6. if you have an iphone carplay is a must all your favorite apps
are just a touch or voice command away and hey ios 14 makes that even easier but if you don't
