Yes, at least with CarPlay but I have not used Android.

FWIW, the same turn info can also be displayed in the center of the driver’s display if desired, or if one does not have the HUD. It’s not a moving map display but it shows an arrow with direction of turn, distance, and street name—-basically the same info that’s in the info box on the CarPlay map.

My one complaint with the HUD is that it’s polarized on a different axis from the interior LCD screens so I can’t use polarized sunglasses.

Can you detail how one would get carplay directions on the center of the driver's display?

I’m about 4500 miles from home right now, but I can try from memory….

Use the steering wheel buttons to select the Navigation options on the driver’s display. You can selection different information customizations for the left, right, and center of the screen. Turn-by-turn is an option for the center portion and works with either CarPlay or the internal navigation system. Repeat the setup to customize the HUD display if installed.

Good point about MBUX option 549.

Also, and as far as I’ve seen, it appears that all 2023 EQBs have version 549 (at least in the USA) as standard. In contrast, the 2022 models used 548 and 549 was only included if one ordered the Technology Package.

For those curious, 549 uses a higher powered Nvidia SOC with upgraded CPU/GPU/Memory compared to the previously standard 548.

549 also enables the full screen map display on the driver side.

Ah good to know I’m surprised there is so little info out there and it isn’t a blanket MBUX feature.

For BMW all cars with iDrive 7 or iDrive 8 show CarPlay directions on the HUD.

For some reason in CarPlay this works with Apple Maps but not Google Maps, Waze, etc. Any ideas on how to make it work with the other apps or am I stuck with apple maps or the built in nav?

I think you are stuck.

It works with Apple Maps on iOS and Google Maps on Android.
