The NBTEvo update itself actually fixed the native spotify widget issues which was great. Even with CarPlay on it, I rolled with using the native ID5 system until my free connected services subscription ran out. Thats when I realized the ID5 nav system is almost completely nerfed by BMW without its cloud connection. Voice commands processed locally are horrible, and you get no real time traffic or map updates.

Now I run CarPlay full time with zero issues and don't plan on going back to native ID5.
Perfect. Thanks for kind words. Enjoy!
