I have an Android, and was really upset when I found out the car only has car play and not Android auto - main reason I'd want it is for Google maps and Google play music.

However, I did try out car play, and am a bit confused about all the comments of it "completely taking over the system." I found it very quick and easy to switch between the car play and idrive interface, and use e.g. sat radio alongside it... Is there a difference between idrive versions? (I have the '18 idrive 6).
