It's also incredibly aggravating that it automatically reads your messages out loud. The apps won't run simultaneously, so if you are sitting in a parking lot and want to read messages on your phone while the car is streaming music, it will turn the music off and start reading your latest messages through the speaker. It attempts to mirror whatever you are doing on your phone on your CarPlay. I understand this is to align with the hands-free phone law, but the user experience is just poor. CarPlay has no settings to allow you to turn on or off specific features, so you are forced to use everything or nothing. I wanted to love it, but it's turning into a disappointment. Hope future updates will improve the experience and solve for some of these flaws. |

I feel like the back and forth is clumsy, and simple things like having the selector on phone favorites - you should be able to push down on the iDrive controller to navigate to the list, but NO, you must scroll past recents, contacts, and voicemail to get to the top of the list. Not too intuitive. If this were the only integration on a car that didn't have nav, or phone integration, you'd live with it and say it's a good product. When BMW has brought the iDrive system miles above previous ones, it makes it seem out of place, and clumsy. Maybe my mind will change the more I use it, but the first impression isn't great. |

With IDrive, I just select the preset and I can read the messages from the display. With carplay I have to listen to them. When you get group messages it takes forever. "Text from John Doe, to Jane Doe, Steve Smith, Don Johnson and Barak Obama recieved on April eleventh at 1:02pm - 'Hi.' Would you like to reply?" takes forever compared to just reading "Hi."

I think the only thing it does about texts better is notifies you that you have a text. I like how it instantaneously goes on the screen... but at the same time I wish I could customize an alert timing, or they could just announce it. |

The only reason that I can see to have apple car play is so tha you could use google maps for navigating as the maps are much more up to date than the BMW maps. I've been comlaining to BMW for the last 5 months about teh lack of changes when the map is updated. The have been numerous motorway changes and new roads in my area which have opened since before map 3 update was released. We have now had map4 reasease and teh changes are still not on. I have been told by BMW to complain to Here as this is where they get their maps from. It shouldn't be me complaining but BMW themselves. If tomTom can do it them why not BMW

I get banner notifications but no tone notifications. I emailed bimmer-tech regarding the lack of tone notifications, perhaps they can create a patch. It would be nice if the patch could have he exact text tone coming from the car speakers. I have CarPlay in other cars and they all have banner and tone notifications 🤣

I want to install apple car play in my 18 m3. There is no option of purchasing it in the ConnectedDrive store. Is there a way I can get apple car play without going to the dealer???

You can play Spotify without Apple CarPlay, via bluetooth audio. And if you have navigation, I don't really see why you need ACP.
