I prefer to keep the music local to the car, then you don't have to check connections, think about any of the options and it should just start from where you left off when you left the car. I don't tend to play music on my phone, only at home and driving.
The irritating bit for me was to keep updating the stick from my home iTunes etc whenever I added new content. Streaming from phone is best if possible.

So Apple CarPlay - can it play music better than idrive via Bluetooth? Or if I have wireless hotspot configured does idrive play music through the wifi? And I can't seem to find the definitive answer on whether you can order CarPlay later on or does it have to be a Factory fit?
