CarPlay sucks or what?

I had to remove my device from CarPlay connection and redid it using BMW Connection via Bluetooth this time and it's not as beautiful as UI but ZERO issues and no glitches ever,

CarPlay used to disconnect and connect during a phone call several times and almost caused me a few car accidents while trying to grab the phone and look for the Bluetooth and disconnect to be able to continue my phone call and tried removing and adding back on few time to no avail!

Just thought I'd share and make sure I'm not the only one!

BTW I am using iPhone XS Max updated to most recent version

Hmmm. I just started using CarPlay and haven’t had any issues. Maybe you can get it fixed or maybe mine will start failing!

Interesting as I have never had one issue with it. The ability to have Waze on my screen Allie makes it well worth the cost.

What phone you've been using? What generation?

I have used it in our Sienna but only works with plug in USB port. I was wondering when wireless solution would be out and now see it works wirelessly with BMW. Tempted to get it but probably not.

I agree that when such products are glitchy they are more trouble then they are worth. And with CarPlay you can only have the iMessages read to you and cannot just read them yourself. So I have stuck with the BMW ap.

But a new Message 'feature' has got me a bit miffed. They added another 'screen' with the "I" icon for 'information' that is supposed to let you click to make phone call to the person who texted you, but it does not work. It does add an extra click to get back to the message list......

It also ridiculously shows the last several people to have texted you and there's no way to turn that off. Thanks for triggering my jealous girlfriend, CarPlay.

Take a look at the X5 forum, there are serious issues with iDrive 7. CarPlay does not work, wireless charger activates ApplePay, phone unmutes itself, etc, etc, etc. Next SW release is a few months out from what I have been told by BMW.

Is this in reference to screen mirroring and taking out the wifi service. I took the wifi trial yesterday, but can't seem to get my X mirrored...

I've tried screen mirroring many a times and it doesn't work. It must be an Android only thing.
