1.- CarPlay won’t be used for incoming/outgoing calls and no matter if you are on the CarPlay or the iDrive interface, the iDrive UI for calls and the CarBT will be used and sound will be heared no matter if you have AUX set as audio source or not?
2.- Or it means, that if you are on the CarPlay UI, calls will go through CarPlay and you need to be in AUX to be able to hear something; and if you are on iDrive UI, calls will go though the Car’s BT and will be heard no matter what your selected audio source is?
When in OFF…
3.- Does it mean that CarPlay will ‘grab’ all calls ho matter if you are on iDrive UI or CarPlay UI and you need to always have the audio source set as AUX to be able to hear anything?
Thanks.

That setting determines if the calls goes through the OEM BT or the MMI.
On - the OEM BT grabs the audio attention, and handles the call, then reverts back once done(personally this is what I use, as the cars built in calling is much better overall than the MMI).
Off - the call is handled solely by the MMI, so if your audio is not set to Aux, you will not hear anything on the call(this option makes more sense if your car doesn't have BT Calling, rare but cases exist).
