I have a 2024 X1, trying to get my seats and steering wheel to come on when I use the auto start....kinda annoying to have the ability to auto start in the winter but not able to get the seats and steering wheel warm too. Any tips? Is it even possible?

@changjuhwang9597 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for the video. Btw don’t you have any issues with CarPlay volumes? For me, Siri voice is quite low. Any suggestions?

@BMWofFW 3 ай бұрын

Indeed, I do… Next time you activate Siri turn up the volume either on the center console or steering wheel that will increase the volume of your personal assistant, in this case Siri ,separate from the volume of the cars audio sources. Your reaction time is limited to how long Siri is active so I would suggest asking Long question like ‘what’s the weather like today’

@@pleaseletitgo1818 right, but iDrive systems used to be upgraded every few years. However when they released iD8 they released iD8.5 a few months after then a few months after that iD9 too. If you bought a 3 series LCI when it was announced, you’d have thought you’d be getting the newest system but when it eventually arrives after 6-7 months, you’d have gotten the older iD8

On a 2024 X7. On a sunny hot day I leave my garage with the A/C set to AUTO, SYNC, VERY LOW, 72 degrees and I feel comfortable driving around. Then, I park somewhere outdoors for a few hours and obviously because the car is 100+ degrees inside, I decide to precondition before getting in. I notice the precondition is done at the same AUTO, SYNC, VERY LOW, 72 degrees which for me doesn’t make sense. The A/C should start at MAX A/C in order to balance the huge difference between interior temp and set temp. Moreover with such a weak A/C system. Is there a way to do it or am I doing something wrong?.

@BMWofFW 7 ай бұрын

It’s working as designed… preconditioning works to maintain that 72 degrees, if you precondition as you are getting out the car is only needing to maintain the current temperature not drastically cool. In reverse if you left, DIDNT precondition, then remembered 5 minutes before and hit precondition on your myBMW App, the car would likely have gone up a few degrees and need faster more intense cooling to hit that requested 72degrees

@tatoweb 7 ай бұрын

@@BMWofFW it doesn’t make sense to have the system try to lower the interior temp by 35+ degrees in AUTO, VERY LOW just because that was the last setting when I got out of the car. It should do it in AUTO, VERY HIGH since it is not “a few degrees” difference. For me it is a really bad design.

ANDROID? wtf! Apple CarPlay will run terribly on top of that OS. Android will make sure of that. Who the FKK uses the original BMW apps?? That whole system looks like shtt. Like something from windows 95 era. Apple CarPlay all the way. I thought bmw was moving closer towards apple. I’ll leave the brand if not. Let’s get real, Apple knows software and BMW knows cars. The first car to have CarPlay 2.0 where CarPlay controls every aspect like how the odometer looks and reads out to the AC will be the car brand I sell my soul and all my families soul to forever😂 I thought it was going to be BMW. But I guess not.

@BMWofFW 6 ай бұрын

Interestingly enough the open ended platform on Android Automotive will give BMW the ability to run CarPlay 2.0 in the near future… that will give apple access to systems in the car to change the integration beyond a simple center screen, but also HUD and Instrument cluster control as well… i look forward to the moment it’s officially announced, especially when some car companies like GM are dropping Apple CarPlay all together.
