What do I need to get the app working?

Android head unit or other android device with android version 4.4 or higher, better 5.1 (Xtrons head unit recommendations)
Full usable USB connection
The App plus purchased license (This can take up to 24 hours)
One USB resler interface which is connected like in this INSTALLATION GUIDE

What are the functions of the demo version?

How can I unlock the app?

Buy an I-BUS App license
Enter the VIN o your vehicle at purchase
Connect android device with the internet and with the interface to the car
Click on the three dots in the right upper corner or in navigation menu and then on unlock
Click the unlock button and enjoy the full application :)

What is the VIN?

The VIN is the vehicle identification number
You will find it for example in your car registration
For unlocking process only the last 7 characters of the VIN are required

Why do I have to give my chassis number (VIN)?

The license to use the app is bound to the chassis number of the vehicle
When you purchase a license, you enter your VIN. This is compared with the chassis number of the vehicle during activation in the app.
Privacy is very important to us. Your chassis number and your personal data will neither be passed on to third parties nor sold to companies. You have the possibility to receive information about the data stored by us from you or to order a deletion at any time

Why can't I download the app from the Google Play Store?

Our license model provides that each vehicle requires an app license, which is verified via the VIN. This is not compatible with Google's licensing
You don't need a Google account to use the app
The app requires a special interface, which is integrated in the vehicle wiring harness. This results in a higher need for clarification, since immediate downloading and plugging in are not possible
Apps in the Google Play Store must always be billed via Google. The payment processing for our app is done exclusively via our online shop

Are the app functions depending on car equipment or construction year?

To show range, consumptions and AVG speed an high OBC is required
The coding funtions are limited on LCM 2
On vehicles with construction year fewer than 98 the IKE can make some trouble
Also you'll need PDC to show PDC graphics and aux heating to control aux heating etc.

Why the oil temperature isn't working?

not E46, E83, E85: Probably the thermal oil level sensor is defective which means that no indication is possible.
E46, E83, E85: Displaying of oil temperatur is only possible with Deep OBD app or eKombi module

Why does my instrument cluster stop showing indicators with active indicators and stop clicking?

This problem occurs with some instrument clusters (CY ~98). To work around this please do the following:

Disable the 'Mileage request' option under 'IKE settings' in the App settings.
switch off ignition completely and disconnect vehicle battery.
Reconnect the battery after a short waiting time.
Now start the app and everything should work again.

Why is the fuel level not displayed?

Not all instrument clusters with construction year before 2000 output the fuel level on the I-Bus.

Why doesn't the app switch to the PDC screen automatically even though the switch is active?

On some models the reverse signal is not sent over the I-Bus. Unfortunately, an automatic change is not possible.

In reverse mode I only see an exclamation mark and no PDC screen.

The device switches to the screen of the reverse camera in reverse gear by default. If no reverse camera is installed, only an exclamation mark appears. How to deactivate this screen can be found here.

Mirroring your iOS or Android smartphone to your BMW’s iDrive display lets you use all your favorite smartphone apps in your car, with the convenience of the iDrive’s dashboard display.

Whatever you see on your iPhone or Android device, you’ll see on your iDrive screen, whether that’s Google Maps or Waze for navigation, Netflix or Spotify for entertainment, or even your favorite news or weather apps.

Bmw Apps Interface Spotify Password

Using your BMW’s dashboard display means seeing your apps on the big screen, right where you need them, without the clutter that comes with other solutions.

How does it work?

Bmw Apps Interface Spotify App

Smartphone mirroring works by casting the image and sound from your mobile device to a wireless receiver attached to a display. For iPhones, this screencasting and audio streaming happens over Apple’s AirPlay wireless protocol, which is baked into iOS. Android and other devices can use the open Miracast technology to do the same thing.

AirPlay and Miracast both function like a typical wired HDMI connection, carrying sound and HD video to an external display. The difference, of course, is that there’s no need for wires. Both instead use Wi-Fi technologies to establish the connection between the device and the display.

How do I get it in my BMW?

Wireless streaming of video and audio is ideal for use in cars, where you don’t want a mess of wires cluttering up your dashboard.

To take full advantage of this technology in your BMW, you’ll need a wireless receiver that can connect to your dashboard display, and interface with your iDrive system for easy operation. ModMyNav’s smartphone mirroring kits include the wireless receiver you will connect your iOS or Android device to, and our custom interface that allows connecting this receiver to your iDrive system.

The interface not only ensures that the picture from your mobile device will be mirrored perfectly on the dashboard display, it also means that your phone’s audio will stream through your BMW’s stereo system. It’s a complete in-car multimedia experience, without a wire in sight.

You’ll also be able to activate and deactivate smartphone mirroring using the factory iDrive controls.

How will my interior change?

The whole mirroring kit is mounted behind your dashboard, including the receiver, interface and all associated cables. This means there will be no changes to the look of your dash.

Bmw Spotify Integration

In use, you’ll connect your smartphone wirelessly. Lay it down in the arm rest or elsewhere in your car, and enjoy your favorite iOS and Android apps on your iDrive screen, without losing the clean, factory look of your dashboard.
