As far as I know, there isn't any integration to the OEM infotainment system as this is a MMI interface that shares the APIX1 display with your 6.5" or 8.8" screen. I will find out more about it once I get the sample in.

I'll have this tested on HU_ENTRY and HU_NBT and will let you guys know.

Also, how much info do you have on this regarding details? I'm curious how much (if any) integration there is with standard NBT or NBT-EVO. For example, can you use CarPlay split-screen with an iDrive app? Is it possible, like with the integrated iDrive/CarPlay units, to send routes from Apple Maps to the iDrive Nav? See here for what I'm talking about:

It's a behind-the-dash unit which ties into the video, CAN bus, etc., provides a CarPlay interface, and allows for its use via the iDrive controller.
Any update on the product you had brought in?

Cheers
