It's slow. I have the BMW wireless charger case for it and that works great with the car's wireless charger. So I suspect if I try to use CarPlay I will be disappointed because of the phone's limitations.

i have ipx but i've had the ip6+ prior and carplay works well. what version of idrive firmware do you have? if you have N, O or P you can apply the fullscreen carplay patch. imho, fullscreen, touchscreen carplay is a great option to have next to the native idrive features. having google maps and waze is awesome.
