Why doesn't BMW support Carlife?
1 Answers
BMW does not support Carlife because Carlife has significant limitations. Introduction to Carlife: Carlife is a vehicle connectivity system designed to facilitate car usage and enhance the driving experience for vehicle owners. It is one of the two most popular vehicle connectivity systems, the other being Carplay. Carplay connects with Apple phones, while Carlife connects with Android phones. Both systems generally require a data cable to connect to the car's infotainment system, preferably using the original data cable. Original data cables have data transmission functionality, whereas most aftermarket cables only support charging and lack data transmission capabilities. Precautions when using Carlife: While driving, avoid holding the phone to answer calls for safety reasons. Once connected to the car's infotainment system, you can make and receive calls without holding the phone, thereby improving safety during driving. Most new car models are typically equipped with either Carlife or Carplay systems, as vehicles are evolving towards greater intelligence.
