That's interesting M2ruder. The dealer mentioned something similar about issues with the Apple car play and asked if I was sure I wanted it. Thanks for the heads up.

I thought It was extremely useful for your last comment about the talk to text... my oldest son is a new driver (showing my age) and I liked the Apple car play for that very reason as he could continue to concentrate on driving while texting.. even though we all know it is not safe to text and drive, I am a realist and know he will do it anyway, even if we preach to him, not to do it. With the talk/text working it at least makes that function while driving , a little safer.
