If the manufacturer of the box described in this thread decided not make it full screen, I'd be curious as to why. Is just because they didn't want to support multiple screen resolutions depending on BMW's display options? That seems like a waste for those that have larger displays, unless they found a way to support a split-screen mode.
That one I think is also Apple driven too - Carplay home screen seems to always show 4x2 apps/icons - going widescreen would allow for more apps to show on the home screen, have you seen that somewhere?
