Hi all. Just picked up my new car and want to get the most out of the tech.

What are the most useful widgets people have? Or logical ways to display info (one tab for news/weather etc, one for car details and so on)? Are there any widgets worth downloading?

Haven’t had a play with it yet - bit of a mountain to climb with Covid19 continuity planning so thought I’d put it out to you lovely lot to answer. Not sure if it’s relevant but it’s a 2020 530d m sport.

Cheers.

Only app I've bothered downloading is spotify which has brilliant integration if you have an account.

I have one home screen set up which has 1/2 map, 1/4 traffic and 1/4 route guidance (I think thats the term) which gives all the trip info you ever need. Another home screen with sport display, driving dynamics and trip computer display.

Switching between those two displays gives me everything i need.

I use carplay for telephone integration and also means that Waze runs in the background with just voice notifications over the BMW nav system.
