I already talked to some lawyer friends and they told me they believe I do not have a case. It would have to be on safety, not technology as technology is ever evolving. You are more than welcome to seek legal counsel and see what they say since you believe they should be sued. This need to be played with facts and common sense, not feelings. I do not think anyone here is making excuses for BMW for everyone affected by this is just as upset about their decision.. but to think they did not involve their legal team and made the decision on the fly is just silly. Better idea would be to flood BMWNA with adequately written letters to reconsider their decision as we all know it can be done, and at least meet their customer halfway on this. I believe trying to change their answer vs a lawsuit might have more of a chance of working. |

Also sounds like you need a better charger system. I assume you're using the oem USB port? Unfortunately that hasn't been viable as a charging solution in at least 2 iPhones if not 3. Especially if you are using it while transiting. However, I have a magasafe hooked up to my 2020 M5 oem USB port and it charges my 12 pro max on road trips while using car play no problem. I also don't have 5G turned on because it's a scam and doesn't do anything but drain your battery lol. Minus UW of course but I've never seen that signal and don't expect to for a decade. With that all said, you are correct. This is not a straight substitute for CD. Waze and google maps don't solve that. Plus you could just add a $400 wireless apple car play unit and utilize all your oem stuff. Much cheaper and easier than EVO upgrade.

My first choice is to go with an MMI Carplay once I am convinced it's not going to burn up my phone. Thanks for the info.

Now with that said…I use a standard usb a to usb c and connect that to the same MagSafe and pro clip in my M5 and that works just as well. So not sure what kind of wattage mu M5 puts out but it seems to be enough. I also run an aftermarket android unit in my wife's X. Oem in the M5. Phone does great. Just took the X down to FL in July. No issues with battery or over heating etc.

A standard USB port (like the one X5 has in the center console) provides 5V and approx 1A.
Modern phones require quick charging, and that means up to 22V and up to 5A, that a normal USB port can never provide. Can we get back ontopic please? |

Have just come across and read this article on this 3G shutdown.
https://www.rcrwireless.com/20210329...system-in-2022 I think the issue is more serious for automakers than we think. They didn't learn the lesson from 2G to 3G a decade ago, and now do the same again from 3G to 4G/LTE/5G. I'm not surprised class action law suit is coming if they choose to do nothing. |

Imagine trying to buy parts to update a 6 year old phone. Technology evolves fast nowadays. I think best thing to do is update the display to Android. Heck I think I tried the navigation once on my x5, and yes it's cool to have it on the HUD. But Google maps is far superior.

Granted, when 3G is out I'll get the MMI to get Apple CarPlay. But before that - naaaaah, can't be bothered. Waiting for all the bugs to be fixed and when the time comes, I'll pull the trigger. |
