The shortage of chips is continuing to threaten car production in 2022. According to European Automotive News, BMW is delivering new cars without apple Carplay and Android auto functions. BMW has changed chip suppliers to maintain production, but the functions are not perfect.
It is reported that BMW will release OTA update before the end of June, when customers will be able to install the above software. However, BMW did not disclose the number of affected vehicles and the sales area of affected vehicles.
It is not the first time for BMW to reduce its configuration due to lack of core. Last November, the shortage of chips forced BMW's new cars of 3 series, 4 series, Z4 and other models to lack touch screen function.
In addition, BMW's Mini also said recently that the company will stop providing manual models in order to simplify its product line to cope with the continuous shortage of semiconductors and supply chain problems.
