Reason: Carplay is really shitty especially the wireless carplay implementation.
  • Its maps are bad, BMW nav is better.
  • You have to switch the phone mode to bluetooth/non carplay mode to use a loadable app (laptimer, etc..).
  • The car doesnt seem to remember if the device is carplay or not after doing this so I get BT connection sometimes carplay others.
I found carplay annoying. I went into settings on Idrive and found the screen where you can select either Carplay or Idrive. I selected iDrive and I don't see Carplay on the main screen anymore.
