Hello!

I just joined the G30 platform from many other BMWs, last being the F80. In iDrive 5, when I was hooked up to CarPlay, the main BMW display would have the wireless signal strength in the top right corner (as well as above the home button when you're actually IN the CarPlay environment).

Now with my G30 and iDrive 6 - the wireless signal strength is no longer on the BMW screen, only in the CarPlay screen when I'm connected to CarPlay. Works fine if i'm only connected with bluetooth without carplay.

So is this a CarPlay thing? iDrive 6 thing? iOS 12.3 thing?

Anyone else have this issue. Happy to share pics if you don't understand.

Thank you!
