Just in case you haven't come across this App 😉

The BMW/Mini IDrive NBT does not offer native Android Auto integration, but does provide a very powerful Connected Apps convergence option with tight integration points into the car. This project is an effort to implement most of the features of Android Auto as unofficial BMW/Mini Connected Apps.

By relying on the Connected Apps technology, this app greatly extends the functionality of the car without any modifications or hacks. Any MY2014 or newer BMW or Mini equipped with NBT or NBT Evo and the "BMW Apps (6NR)" feature, an active BMW ConnectedDrive subscription, or the "Mini Connected (SA6NM)" option should be compatible.

Thank you so much for this! I've been looking for a way to get Spotify on my NBT EVO ID4 without having to spend a lot of money. This app is just what I was looking for. Nice integration of Spotify on the ID4 along with some nice features as Google Assitant and phone notifications.

This is pretty slick for sure.

For Nightly Builds the new MY BMW app is now supported

Some of the new features include:

Brand new simpler phone UI with clearer setup instructions

Supports logging in as Spotify to set the global coverart in ID5+

Adds Spotify browse and playlist coverart, as well as searching Spotify

Reads out notifications, and adds popup and statusbar support in ID5+

Supports replying to notifications

Starts car navigation to handle certain phone navigation buttons

Supports the new MyBMW app

This looks really promising, has anyone had any experience with this? How's google maps navigation with this?

Haven't tried Google maps yet but the music apps integration works really well

How to install apps for Android Auto that Google hasn’t approved

AAAD was developed by XDA Senior Member shmykelsa, who you may recognize as the developer of Extras for AA. As the name implies, Android Auto Apps Downloaders lets you download (and install) unofficial apps for Android Auto. And it works without root or a computer.

Is there way around things if you dont have " 6NR " ?

[CarFan]

Is there a short video showing this in action. I have a 2019 4 series and I would love to figure out how to add SiriusXM as a connected app. Any recommendations?

If I understand it correctly you do not need an active BMW subscription:

"...an active BMW ConnectedDrive subscription,.."
