Has anyone received the 07/2026 Remote Software Upgrade for iDrive 8.5 yet?

If you have, I’d love to hear what you’ve noticed.

Did BMW provide any release notes or changelog? Have you found any improvements, bug fixes, or new features?

If you can share a screenshot of the update notes, that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance!

Clean phone holder solution for the 2026 i4

This is by far the cleanest and most affordable phone mount solution I’ve found for the 2026 i4.

I found this holder on Amazon, and I’m honestly surprised by how well it works. The original kit didn’t include a fast wireless charger, but it’s so well designed that it fits most MagSafe chargers perfectly. I added a Qi2/MagSafe fast wireless charger separately, and it turned out even better than I expected.

The first photos show everything that came with the mount. The wireless charger was purchased separately. The last photo shows an alternative that someone suggested—a cable running all the way across the center console. I personally prefer keeping the interior as clean and factory-looking as possible.

What do you think?

Has Anyone Heard If the UHF App Will Support Apple CarPlay?

Hi everyone,

I’m curious if anyone knows whether the UHF app is already compatible with Apple CarPlay, or if there are any plans to add CarPlay support in the future.

Being able to use the app directly through the vehicle’s infotainment system would make it much more practical and safer while driving, especially for those who use it regularly on the road.

Has anyone seen any announcements, development updates, beta versions, or comments from the developers regarding CarPlay integration?

Thanks in advance for any information!

When will EV charging on utility poles begin to be implemented across Canada?

The pictures show charging systems that are currently in use in Australia.

Why Is Plug & Charge Adoption Moving So Slowly?

Why aren’t more EV charging providers and automakers implementing Plug & Charge faster?

The technology exists, it makes charging significantly easier for drivers, and it eliminates the need for apps, RFID cards, and manual payment steps. Yet support remains limited across many charging networks and vehicle manufacturers.

What’s slowing adoption down? Is it technical complexity, certification requirements, business incentives, costs, or something else?

It seems like universal Plug & Charge support would be one of the biggest improvements to the EV charging experience.

I have to agree with many people here: Freedom sucks.

I’ve been trying my best, but I just can’t seem to burn through all 290GB of my data. Streaming, hotspot, downloads, road trips… nothing works.

At this point, having too much data is becoming a real problem. 😂

Why is the Wealthsimple iPad app so bad?

Is anyone else frustrated with the Wealthsimple app on iPad?

I’ve been using Wealthsimple for years and generally love the platform, but the iPad experience is disappointing.

The app runs on iPad, but it doesn’t really take advantage of the larger display. Most screens look almost identical to the iPhone version, with a lot of unused space and very little additional functionality.

For an investing platform where users often review portfolios, charts, and account activity, I’d expect a more tablet-friendly interface by now.

Has Wealthsimple ever commented on plans for a proper iPad-optimized experience, or is this just not a priority for them?
