Some new BMWs will reportedly come without Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

). The chips from the new supplier reportedly aren’t compatible with Android Auto and CarPlay yet, and require an update for the software to work.

“The chips built into these cars in the first four months of this year need updated software in order to be fully functional and offer Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and Wi-Fi capability,” BMW said in an emailed statement toAn OTA update is coming by the end of June Drivers may not have to wait too much longer to get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, though. The car manufacturer toldthat it plans on rolling out an over-the-air update to make the functionality available “by the end of June at the latest.”

It’s unclear if only certain regions are affected by the issue —says drivers from the US, UK, Italy, Spain, and France have reported receiving their new vehicles without either functionality.

Always did, it’s a costly option !
