Latest update has a surprise for Android users

I use a range of iOS and Android devices. Prior to the latest iD8 update the CarPlay navigation would render on the console and in the HUD where Android Auto would not.

Happy to report that is no longer the case. This sort of change is what you would expect to make the Changelog but oh well.

Nice! Anything else that’s noticeable with the newest update?

I have a Samsung S24U and from purchase I'm able to have the map in the center console. Though I prefer it in sport screen mode

It's cool that this feature exists but for me, it's a bit redundant. Beside the giant screen to the right and the clear audible directions, the heads up display also has directions, I can't imagine needing a forth source of information.
Do you use the screen for something else outside of the map?

Myself I have map on the main screen and hud directions. That way I can have the touch screen set up like this.

I just tried and it does not. I use AA, but also get Waze warning and alerts via my Uniden R8 with Highway Radar app on my phone.

Thanks for letting me know. Glad I don't need to send my ECU back to Finland just yet. Hopefully they release a CarPlay update right around the BM3 Rev2 board comes out.

Oh man I understand what you say. To be clear, wake for me works with android on the touch screen but not the drivers screen. I know I want to get all the meaningful updates to iDrive 8 before I send out for MHD+

Yup, mine does the same thing. Nothing in the drivers display. Thanks for confirming.
