Screen Mirroring

Hi Guys! Yesterday I received my X5 4.0d. Is fantastic!
I ve started to play with different things and I ve a doubt about screen mirroring.
ID 5 touch recognize my screen but when starting to road, the screen switch off.
Is this problem solves with coding? Because is fantastic to use Waze or Google maps beacuse AppleCar in Argentina is not aloud.
and the another quest is: Is it possible to use Screen (ex: google maps/waze) and listen FM or Spotify?

today is raining, when stopped, I upload a picture!

thanks
Juan.

It should be a matter of coding.
Maybe Almaretto can chime in.

iDrive5 and 6 will let your Android I believe.
I have iPhone, so I can't confirm that.

It does work with ID5 and 6 but as the OP stated, it will turn off as soon as the vehicle is on the move (like video in motion restriction). This is why i also believe it could be coded to allow mirroring while in motion.

Screen mirroring works only with high spec Android phones. I have tried with an iPhone 8 without any luck. I have a Samsung A5 and you can code it to be visible up to 63kmph with E Sys or pay USD50 and get a *.bin file which you upload to the car via the USB port and then reboot the head unit and you then get video in motion (VIM) which unlocks all video based features (CarPlay, Screen Mirroring, USB Video, and DVD) at any speed.

Reading text Messages and Emails on the move can be enabled using E Sys.
However Connected Drive Services (e.g. News weather Apps etc) are controlled via provisioning of car, and for older NBT, this can be manipulated, but for NBT2 units that are either I Drive 5 or 6 the file is digitally signed by BMW AG, so not possible to edit. Australian spec BMW's have Apps in motion disabled due to local regs however I have noticed on my X3 and X5 that the iOS only Spotify App on the iPhone now works in motion. The BMW Connected Drive and BMW Calendar Apps for both Android and Apple also now work in motion



PM Shawn Sheridan for contact details of supplier of *.bin file for VIM >63kmph

VIM will allow you to drive with mirrored screen.

Any one successfully mirror a Pixel 2 XL on iDrive 6? I tried a few apps and no luck.
I am hoping to be able to mirror Waze.

What app did you use for the Nexus? The Galaxy has a built in app for mirroring.

Yes, It is true.
My phone is LG G6 (2017), the Screen works correctly but I would like to use when I drive with Waze or Google Maps.
In the same line, if the screen works, the another functions of I drive doesn't work.
Por example, is it possible to use Waze with screen and listen FM?
In my case I have not installed AppleCar yet.
Thanks!

Nexus has a built-in option for screen casting. It's under the Display sub-menu,last option (on Android 6.0).

You can use Google Maps and run the TuneIn radio App at the same time in the background but not FM or other sound source as far as I am aware. I did manage by fluke to get another sound source to work once via Bluetooth

I have a 2016 x6 f16 and an iPhone 13

I've watched tutorials on YouTube on how to connect screen mirroring but when I go to search for devices on my phone my car never shows up. Any suggestions?

I know most pixel devices will not let you cast, as Google doesn't support MiraCast, the method in which ID5 & 6 work.

Google is pulling an apple move to force you to buy a chrome cast if you wanna cast pixel devices.
