I'm in manchester. Spotify works like a treat. I was talking to the seller about the android screen as well but honestly not worth the extra money. For the first time in 3 years, my car screen is actually doing something useful finally lol.

iirc this was an issue on the wired carplay boxes at one point, but this is the first ive seen it on the wireless (unless it was present on the initial software) strange, ive never had any issues in carplay gps at all with my 11 pro max on any software version or my wifes 8 plus and her newer 11 |

I read somewhere that if maps is running on carplay, then my wife for example cant use my phone for like facebook because that will take away from the maps running on carplay ? is that true? maybe thats whats causing intermittent gps signals for me? Also read if i set destination on my phone maps first and then connect to carplay, it will keep the gps signal better. is that myth or maybe an actual thing ? |

I originally started to look at these mmi units but the dpi on the android auto put me off and the calls being routed via the mmi unit instead of the bmw unit. Although I'd use the USB mode if I got one. I then thought if I get the android head unit I can download Spotify app direct to unit and no need to connect the phone to it at all... also advantage i can use bm3 app on the headunit and map the car from it too. Lol |

the only annoying thing at all with using the connected phone while its connected to carplay is sometimes the music/sound from an app being used on the phone will start playing while music is streaming i have started nav on my phone and on carplay and seen no difference in performance. if the software update seems to fix, i would just see how it goes and hope that the issue is resolved |

yes the mmis have airplay built in. It's mostly fullscreen but the aspect ratio is not the same so there are some gaps on the side when mirroring (at least for me)

The link to web site where I bought the interface unit, maybe whoever started this post might want to add for BMW owners with ID5 & ID6, as they may want Android auto and backup camera option. It took a while for me to find.
Maybe also you can tell me what system I have as the menus are different? The Andream store gave me this link. https://wakaa.store/?product=wireless-apple-carplay-android-auto-interface-box-mmi-dongle-for-bmw-cic-nbt-evo-mini-x1-x3-x4-x5-x6-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-series&v=0f177369a3b7 |
