Since BMW has apps for Spotify, Pandora, Amazon music etc, is the real appeal for google maps? What is the real incentive for carplay? Thanks. |
Oh man it's so much better. For one it just looks better and is more modern.
It gets updated regularly by Apple. BMW is never going to refresh add update this old head unit. As cars age the tech really becomes the sore spot that's obviously outdated but that's not the case if you have CarPlay.
Siri is much better at voice commands if you need to search for a location rather than manually type it in on the iDrive wheel.
You can use your phone to send nav directions directly to CarPlay much simpler than BMW connect app.
Spotify and other apps UI much easier to use on CarPlay than BMW UI.
