Installation Instructions - BMW F10 CarPlay MMI Prime
Operating the MMI
The MMI allows to greatly expand the functionality of the original iDrive system with:
●
Apple CarPlay
●
Android Auto
●
USB Media Playback
●
Apple AirPlay and Android AutoLink Mirroring
●
Front and Reversing Cameras with Dynamic Parking Lines and PDC Sensor Display
To enter the main MMI menu press and hold the iDrive controller MENU button for 3s until the MMI
menu appears on the screen or press the #8 radio memory button for about 1s.
If you’ve just started the car it may take a few moments for the MMI to boot up. To navigate within the
MMI’s menu and CarPlay/Android Auto mode you can use the iDrive controller knob & BACK button or
the scroll knob on the steering wheel along with the Voice Command and Phone Handle buttons.
The iOS and Android icons in the main menu will only be filled out with color when a phone is paired to
the MMI in either CarPlay or Android Auto mode. Otherwise they will remain in a black and white color
scheme.
To exit CarPlay and go back to the MMI’s Main Menu press the BACK button twice in quick
succession (just like a double click on a mouse).
To switch navigate back to iDrive press and hold the iDrive Controller MENU button.
Long pressing the iDrive controller BACK button will cause the MMI to reboot.
To engage Front Camera Mode for an indefinite period of time press and hold the iDrive Controller
“OPTION” button for 2 seconds. To exit the camera mode press and hold the iDrive BACK button.
