Android Auto in 2020
I just got a used 2020 5 series. It currently has Apple Car Play but not Android Auto. I searched the internets and found some posts claiming the dealer can install a version of software that has Android Auto. Is this true?
On a side note, my manual seems to be inconsistent with my car. It says to check the version go to CAR, Settings, General Settings, Remote Software Upgrade, but I don't appear to have that last option. Thanks! |

2020 5 series doesn't have RSU feature because it only has ID7 lite.
Even it does, you can't get Android Auto after software upgrade. Someone could Activate Android Auto, you can search on the forum. |

I have 2020 530ix with ID7 Lite. 7/20 and later software update will give you AA at the dealer. You can use one of the TSBs (e.g. gesture control, if you have it) on this forum that requires a software update to get the update under warranty.

Android Auto is supported via a software update to be any version after 07/2022. Once that’s installed by a dealer AA will be supported and work on the vehicle. No need for “coding” or anything of that nature. I doubt those would even work since the 2020 is iDrive 7. |
