So you're able to have Connected work for you? You're able to have the same integration with playing music that one gets with Apple? If you are, then BMW went backwards with my CIC implementation on my 2013 E82. Because I first tried to use my Samsung S5 when I first got the car and it was definitely not the same experience as my old first gen iPod Touch. Also, none of the Connected apps or integrations work with Android.
I skipped all this nonsense when I installed the BimmerTech rear view camera setup and added the SmartView module. Still use an iPod Touch for music. But for anything "connected", it's going through my S8 phone with the video being mirrored to my iDrive/nav screen. And I don't pay anything extra now or ever. Excuse me as I enjoy having Waze and Plex through my car.
