You Can’t Control Volume with the BMW Wonder Wheel

On R7M, it’s not possible to adjust volume using the BMW Wonder Wheel while using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

Updated over a week ago

CarPlay and Android Auto work through screen mirroring. In this mode, the audio output (music, calls, and navigation prompts) is generated and controlled by your phone, not the display.
Because of this, volume control remains with the source device—this is an inherent limitation of screen mirroring systems.

How to adjust volume instead

Please adjust volume using one of the following:

  • Your phone’s volume controls

  • Your Bluetooth headset / intercom volume controls
