BMW Apple CarPlay Activation
What is Apple CarPlay?
CarPlay is a smarter, safer way to use your iPhone while you drive. You can get directions, make calls, send and receive messages, and enjoy your favourite music. All on your car’s built-in display. And with every new iOS, CarPlay introduces all-new app categories and custom wallpapers for your CarPlay Dashboard
