Assuming thats the guy from Facebook above - I've reached out and he can do it remotely from the UK. Thats my back-up. I know CarPlay gets a lot of hate but I haven't had any issues and love having Waze and Spotify start as soon as I'm in the car! |

https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/28/1...-ios-12-review Seems pretty bad. I’ll probably find out soon enough as I’m forcing myself to live with an XS Max for the time being. I understand why only using part of the screen would bother you, though. Another strike against it in my book. Hopefully they fix that in a future iDrive update that gets rolled out to current owners. Unfortunate that there is still no OTA update. |

I'm a huge google fanboy and I do a lot of work with google, but there are very subtle things that edge out the latest iPhone for me. Camera wise the iPhone is horrendous...I can barely live with it coming off of the Pixel 2, but my hope is that Apple pushes a few software enhancements to help things out. Android Auto is nice but hardly anyone supports it. Dont get me started on how bad bluetooth integration is in most devices for Android phones(Pixel included). |

Camera doesn’t bother me. It’s fine in the XS now, IMO. I agree Android Auto isn’t good either. Have seen someone struggling with it on a long trip. Have been using Siri the past week and can confirm it’s pretty terrible compared to Google Assistant on Android P.
Part of the reason I did get an iPhone to play with is because BMW doesn’t seem likely to support Android Auto in the M2 ever, so I’m hoping for improvements on both sides. |

I am quite happy with Carplay aside from it not taking the full screen EDIT: THe most baffling thing though is why is BMW trying to make their own assistant lmao. |

You should try the current iDrive they’ve done a good job. Far better than earlier iterations. I didn’t bother with CarPlay. I just tell my Watch to play a song, playlist or artist, even streaming via Apple Music and it plays just fine on iDrive. The playlist shows and you can even flick though in the in dash control off the wheel. As for Android. They have two types of customers. Poor people and anoraks. Professionals that can buy an M2C with a couple of week’s income find it a bit of a joke. |

Maybe you should try a real modern Android phone though (not Samsung garbage). I find iOS 12 to be decidedly inferior to Pie on Pixel 2 or 3 for actually getting things done. |

Let's say you can get this done, wouldn't the apps in car play be all stretched out?

I asked the dealer before I left if I was on the latest version and they claimed I was. I'll check it out via website and compare the build numbers. I just need a flash drive haven't used one in ages hha |
