I'm about to rip this shitbox out of my car, mostly because of how it manages the phone calls.

Be default, seems like my iPhone sends all calls to CarPlay, so...

Scenario 1 - iDrive BT is on, phone connected as telephone, audio is off / both telephone/audio on:
If I'm in CarPlay - I can't hear the other party, but the other party can hear me.
If I'm in iDrive - works fine.

Scenario 2: iDrive BT is off.
If I'm in CarPlay - everything works fine.
If I'm in iDrive and Aux is on - I don't see anything on the screen or on the HUD, but at least I can hear a call and answer with a button on the wheel.
If I'm in iDrive and listen to the radio or some other source, but not Aux - I miss the call.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong? What's your experience?
