I have Apple Car Play in one of my vehicles and it works great. If your a heavy iPhone user, Apple Car Play (ACP) has a lot of potential and can allow you to stay connected in your car more safely. I do agree though, that Android users should have the same opportunity to use their Android phone via Android Auto. It is curious that BMW is the ONLY (as far as I know) car maker that charges for the software!!! I have one vehicle that I would not have purchased if it did not have ACP! Now I have to wonder that the car I have configured in BMW's system for spring delivery will require that I have to pay $300 AND and an $80 subscription?? An earlier comment from above regarding nickel and dime'n the customer, sure has merit. Recent changes such as warrantee/service changes seem to be more common place with this "luxury" brand. Seems like the customer is starting to take a "back seat" in BMW's ethos lately.
