Optics that do justice to your BMW

Many of the Android Head Units on the market offer excellent exterior optics, but in comparisson to most WinCE Units, the UI leaves room for wishes. That’s exactly what this launcher was developed for.
Naturally, the launcher works just as well on every other Android device. (Android 5.0 or higher required)
Download the .apk file, install it, and enjoy!

MediaPlayer

Control your Mediacollection without leaving the launcher

The launcher has an integrated Mediaplayer, which isn’t inferior to any other full-size Mediaplayer by any means. Play your songs just as well as your videos. Even those who prefer streaming their music via Spotify, don’t have to do without the optics, Spotify songinfos are received as broadcasts and displayed in the player. Make sure to enable broadcasts inside Spotify.

I-BUS App/ DeepOBD

Combine the functionality of the I-BUS App with the optics of the iDrive Launcher!

In combination with the I-BUS App you can display live-data and many more inside the Launcher. Thanks to the I-BUS App you have all your Boardcomputer data under your eyes, just as in the original. You can also show DeepOBD Broadcasts inside the launcher.

Sportsdisplay

View live-data in form of sporty gauges

Configure up to four different gauges freely to your needs and have the most important data at a glance.

Features

Features

It’s completely free

The launcher is 100% freely available. No ads, Freemium, Lite-Versions whatsoever.

Control the launcher with your iDrive-Controller

Controlling a device with a touchscreen can especially while driving become a huge burden and potentially even be dangerous, therefore the launcher was designed with simple controls and supports hardware controls. That’s especially interesting for people who have had original iDrive in their cars like in the E90, E60. series.

Optics that improve your interior

One of the main principles of the launcher, besides the simple operation, are the optics. In contrast to many other launchers, the iDrive launcher integrates itself perfectly into your cars interior, without feeling too modern or out of place.

Sporty gauge displays

Configure up to 4 gauges to your needs and always have the most important live-datas at a glance.

Apps autostart

Choose apps that you want to have running at every boot, like the I-BUS App or a radar warning app.

All in One

The Launcher offers most of the important functions inside one single App, thus melting the boundaries between the launcher and the device itself.

How-to

How to install the launcher?

It’s quite simple, the launcher can be installed on every Android device with Android 5.0 or higher. Just download the .apk file and install it with any data manager of your choice or the «APK-Installer». If you have any unanswered questions or problems, please visit our Facebook page, you will be helped there. Also I’m always searching for people who are abled to translate the launcher into different languages, if you speak any language, which still isn’t supported by the launcher and you want to help me out, please contact me!

Android Auto пришла ещё на 750 тысяч автомобилей по всему миру

BMW начала распространение обновления iDrive 7

Компания BMW начала распространять обновление программного обеспечения iDrive 7, которое приносит долгожданную Android Auto примерно на 750 тысяч автомобилей.

iDrive 7 уже стало доступно «по воздуху» на домашнем немецком рынке. Более широкое распространение ожидается в ближайшие недели в Европе, Китае, США, Канаде, и так далее. BMW подтвердила, что iDrive 7 будет распространяться для всех совместимых устройств, что составляет примерно три четверти от миллиона BMW по всему миру.

В рамках iDrive 7 на автомобилях становится доступна Android Auto с беспроводным подключением смартфонов.

Напомним, эпопея с появлением поддержки платформы Android Auto для автомобилей BMW длится уже несколько лет. До настоящего времени немецкий автопроизводитель предлагал интеграцию только со смартфонами Apple.

В 2017 году автопроизводитель даже утверждал, что планов по добавлению Android Auto у него не имеется. В декабре компания сообщила, что в ее автомобилях скоро появится поддержка Android Auto. Тогда было объявлено, что поддержка Android Auto появится во всех машинах BMW с фирменной системой 7.0 в 20 странах мира в июле 2020 года.

При появлении обновления iDrive 7, пользователь получит оповещение от приложения BMW Connected. Обновление доступно бесплатно.

Idrive bmw для android

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.

As part of the Connected Apps feature, when the phone connects to the car over USB (or Bluetooth in 2017+ models), enabled phone apps can show a special dashboard-optimized interface in the car.

AAIdrive, combined with the safety benefits of the tactile IDrive controller, builds on this protocol to allow the user to interact with their incoming notifications and control their phone’s music while the phone is safely tucked away.

This app requires that the MyBMW or MINI app for your car is installed and that it can successfully enable your ID5 car’s Apps checkbox, or if your ID4 car has the Connection Assistant option.

Download the APK of the latest stable release from the Releases page. Choose the one that says «sentry» to automatically upload crash reports, or choose «nonalytics» otherwise. It is also available on the Google Play Store. After starting, the app should detect the MyBMW app and start waiting for the car connection.

Also consider trying out the nightly build! It has the latest features and is a preview of the next release, so please consider installing the Sentry build to automatically report crashes. The nonalytics build is available too.

Check out the FAQ if you run into problems.

After connecting the phone to the car, the official MyBMW app should show this car icon in the status bar. When this icon appears, this app should connect and add its functionality to the car.

See this guide for tips on improving the connection reliability of the MyBMW app.

After all the apps are connected, a bunch of new entries will show up in the car’s Connected menu. There should be a new Audioplayer or Spotify icon and a book icon with no label. This book icon is the Notifications app, if enabled.

Several new entries will be added to the Media section of the control screen. The Audioplayer icon is the one with the main functionality, while the other displayed apps above the Audioplayer are quick shortcuts to switch playback to the respective apps. This screenshot also shows the legacy Spotify app at the bottom of the list.

Besides showing a self-contained remote UI, the IDrive system offers many exciting integration points. Here are a few that this project supports:

• The UI widgets automatically take on the respective theme to fit the car
• The Assistants, Map View, Notification List, and Music Playback screens can be assigned to the physical shortcut buttons in the dashboard
• Car information is retained after disconnect, such as window status and parked location
• New notifications trigger a statusbar icon
• New notifications can trigger a popup
• New notification popups can be disabled if a passenger is detected in the seat
• The car’s navigation system is available to handle Android Navigation Intents
• The currently-playing app is displayed along the top of the IDrive screen
• The currently-playing song title is shown in the IDrive4 Multimedia side panel
• The currently-playing song coverart and progress is shown in the IDrive5 Multimedia side panel
• On a MY2017+ car supporting Bluetooth Apps, audio focus will be enabled which grants the following extra features:
  • The Media shortcut button opens this app when it is in control of the music
  • Automatically resumes playback when reconnecting to the car
  • Playback pauses when pushing the mute button or during calls
  • The physical back/next buttons can be held down to seek within a track or pressed to skip tracks
  • The steering wheel controls can skip tracks from the instrument cluster
  • Enqueued songs can be scrolled in the instrument cluster, depending on app support

This project replicates some of the features of Android Auto using the IDrive interface, using the same APIs that Android Auto uses to talk to the music apps. It cannot currently provide more advanced Android Auto features, such as:

• Integration with the car’s Voice Assistant button
• Screen-casting of arbitrary phone apps to the car (Google Maps, Waze, or any other apps)
• Displaying the original Android Auto interface at all

Due to the unofficial reverse-engineered nature of this project, it has some limitations:

• The main menu entries’ icons and text can’t be altered, and so do not look exactly correct
• The individual music source icons sometimes don’t open the Audioplayer interface in ID4, but they do switch the active music source
• Android Oreo disabled Android Open Accessory Protocol 2 audio output, which is required to play audio over the app’s USB connection in model years 2014-2017. Please listen over Bluetooth audio and use this app as a control interface.
• Some Android Auto music apps enforce a list of allowed client apps, preventing this app from launching them or browsing their libraries. However, once they are running, they can be controlled. For example, these popular music apps can not be launched, they must be started manually:
  • Amazon Music
  • Audible
  • Bandcamp
  • CloudPlayer
  • Deezer
  • doubleTwist
  • Google Play Music
  • iHeartAuto
  • TuneIn Radio
  • Pandora
  • Scribd
  • Smart Audiobook Player
  • YouTube Music

To communicate to the car, this project relies on the proxy connection that is created by the main MyBMW or Mini app on the phone. Additionally, the legacy Connected and the Connected Classic apps have been tested as compatible for this purpose, but the Connected app is more resilient against Android’s memory management.

To build your own test versions of the app and help contribute to the project, follow this Developer Guide to set up your development environment.

This project contains no advertising or user tracking, and is developed entirely for fun and to enhance the usefulness of the BMW/Mini infotainment system.

The app uses the Internet Permission to make a TCP connection to the car, which is reachable through a localhost socket on the main Connected app. Additionally, some cover art and incoming picture notifications (such as from Hangouts) may be fetched from Internet URLs. No other Internet access is required for the app’s functionality.

As part of its functionality, the app collects and remembers some information locally on your phone:

• The Car Information tab remembers information about the most-recently-connected car, including model and available features, specific driving statistics and vehicle settings, and the last location reported by the car while it was connected
• The music functionality remembers a list of installed music apps and what features they provide
• The Spotify integration retains a token to access your Spotify Library

The app also needs some other information to function, but does not remember any of it and will never share it:

• To establish the car connection, the app identifies which BMW and Mini apps are installed
• The app watches Bluetooth connections to identify when the car is connected
• Any installed Voice Assistants are discovered to be added to the car
• Apps which act as AAIdrive Addons are discovered and presented in the Addons tab
• If enabled, notifications are read from the phone while connected to the car and then forgotten when disconnected
• If compiled into the app and then enabled, the custom map feature will use the phone’s location while displaying the map

The analytics-disabled version will never share any information, and no analytics code is compiled into this version of the app. The analytics-enabled version provides an option to share some anonymized information to Sentry to assist with debugging and development: If enabled, besides any rare and unfortunate crashes, the app will share any installed music apps and the capabilities each app provides, as well as the model and capabilities of any connected car for usage statistics and feature prioritization.

Each release provides both an analytics-enabled and analytics-disabled option.
