You will loose map updates and real-time traffic in 4 years/50K unless you pay to renew.

So just maybe all the Apple CarPlay bashing should be directed toward BMW's integration of Apple CarPlay and not Apple CarPlay?

iDrive update from the dealer did nothing to fix this issue.

BMW Connected is NOT an Apple CarPlay app. Are you sure the car is not selecting Pandora through BMW Connected?
I have absolutely zero issues switching from Apple CarPlay Music to the FM Radio in the car. I also like that Apple CarPlay picks up the song where I left off when I got out of the car.
