An update from me that might be relevant for some of you. I switched my cell phone carrier from AT&T corporate (who do not support eSIM for BMW) to AT&T Consumer, who do, finished the install of my WiFi hotspot, and have had no issues since. I don't know how many of you were in my situation - paid for WiFi Hotspot, started to install it, then stymied by lack of Telco support - but for those that are apparently getting the WiFi hotspot fixed also resolves the CarPlay issue, which makes sense since CarPlay uses both WiFi and BY

I think you're just lucky for now. 07/2023 is the update from BMW that fixes this issue, has nothing to do with wifi hotspot.

I’m still having the issue with Waze/GPS and CarPlay. Does this update really fix this issue? I’ve been hesitant to update because I didn’t want to deal with recoding.

Yep. Zero issues since 07/2023. I'm on 11/2023 now and still no issues.

Try turning on the car’s nav and then look at CarPlay. Is it right now? That fixed mine. I left the car nav off for so long that the GPS went out of sync. Starting up the car’s nav system re-synced and fixed my position. When we connect to CarPlay the phone switches to using the car’s GPS locator.

Interesting. I’ll give that a shot tomorrow. Thanks.
