Some things in CarPlay are nice to have but lots of issues in my 2017 F80. Maps always start at the entire US level ( like WTF?) and when a message comes in forget about your music or whatever else you were doing, it's gone until you deal with the message. Half the time the damn thing doesn't connect and start working but it looks like it has. But no sound comes out! Yesterday I could answer calls but not hear anything. Got out of car and phone worked fine. Rarely have issues just using iDrive. I'm using an iPhone 6s on latest iOS.
