had a fraught call with BMW.
first they said that i needed a software update
they gave me a uk link for software downloads which served up one file, the car errored when i tried to use and car suggested i download software from .com which served up a different file for the same vin < what a load of tosh.
so when software update didnt work (for either) i would have to pay to have the software update "because BMW warrant the mechanics not the software" <- what a load of tosh.
then they said that i already had the latest software , who only knows why didnt BMW check this first?
then when i asked what are the prerequisites for screen mirroring.

bmw said oh, you dont have enhanced bluetooth preparation.

fair enough, although i would have thought if the car has car play it presumably has a wifi service, so the necessary hardware might well be present?

i have been reading about bimmercode being able to "code enhanced bluetooth" is this a sensible/possible/necessary route to get screen mirroring?
