How do I activate Apple CarPlay in my BMW 5 Series?

I recently bought a BMW 5 Series and I heard it has Apple CarPlay capabilities. How do I activate it and use it while driving?

To activate Apple CarPlay in your BMW 5 Series, you first need to ensure that your vehicle is equipped with the necessary technology. Most newer models have this capability, but it's best to check with your dealership. Then, make sure your iPhone is connected to your car's Bluetooth and USB port. Next, go to the iDrive menu and select 'Communication', followed by 'Apple CarPlay'. From there, you can easily activate and use it while driving.

I would recommend checking your iDrive settings to ensure that Apple CarPlay is enabled. You may also want to try restarting your phone and reconnecting it to your car's Bluetooth and USB. If this doesn't work, it's best to consult with your dealership for further assistance.
