full screen support would be great, but not likely

I agree, especially that the iDrive screen size does not match any standard iOS device screen.

pardon my ignorance, but is the ability to run Waze for instance entirely dependent on the phone OS? IOW are we going to need to take the car in for a CarPlay upgrade or are features like this driven by the phone itself?

Added a screenshot of Waze running in CarPlay in the first post.

They go through a million beta versions and refinements, so developers and such have access now.

What's an example of this? Do you mean the Connected Drive apps? Well, these actually run on the iPhone itself, so running one of those and an app in CarPlay requires the iPhone to run two apps simultaneously, which it does not do.

For example, while I'm using Waze or Google maps on the big screen, I want to use iPhone screen for apps like Spotity and Youtube. I know we can't run more than one app at the same time. It would be nice to have it in new iOS

Got it. Yeah, it sort of treats the iDrive screen as a copy of your iPhone screen so if you're running Apple maps then switch to Spotify on the iPhone, the display switches. I'm sure you still get the voice directions though. I don't use Apple maps in the car so I don't know if the display would switch back to the maps automatically if you turn off your phone and you're just listening to music as it does when you're using the phone only.
YouTube is another story On another note, in case you're not aware, Spotify is a support app in CarPlay so you can use it without holding your phone.

I use Waze too and was looking for the perfect mounting method for my iPhone mainly because of that. Now I think I'll stop looking and wait for iOS 12. Hopefully I will then out my phone away and never lift it while driving.

If I could have a CarPlay app like Waze running in the right side of the iDrive split screen with Spotify in BMW Apps on the left, I think that would be ideal. |
