Bmw is temporarily shipping some new vehicles without support for Android auto and Apple CarPlay. The chips from the new supplier reportedly are n’t compatible with Android Auto or CarPlay yet, and require an update for the software to work.
Bmw did n’t immediately respond to the verge’s request for comment.’the chips built into these cars in the first four months of this year need updated software in order to be fully functional and offer Apple carplay/android auto and Wi-Fi capability,’ BMW said.
The car manufacturer said it plans on rolling out an over-the-air (OTA) update to make the functionality available’by the end of June at the latest’.
Bmw did n’t specify which car models are affected or how many. But vehicles with’6p1′ in their production code wo n’t come with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
