So frustrating and honestly the fact that you can swipe away that sliding split screen panel everywhere on iDrive but not on CarPlay is so stupid.
But I guess I have to eat my frustration and pay for the update that I may not even get what I want included.
arghhhh 
Lol
Thanks anyway |
I am not so sure I want there to be outside access to the internals of my car. I believe BMW is being very careful about opening the system to OTA updates and I am not unhappy about that. No, I haven't heard of any problems with Teslas that have this, but that doesn't give me much comfort. It is also a small step to have all cars "registered" to some big brother in the sky that will then keep track of your speed.
