Looking at the various threads this is a very basic question so apologies ...

I know very little about cars but very keen fan of BMWs as a driver. I have a 2014 320d which has always been brilliant now done 128k and still going perfectly. Everything brill except the Connected Drive has stopped working, just constantly reboots. A garage owner, who I believe is trustworthy, examined the software and said needed to be replaced which is about £1k which on a car of this age not sure seems worth it.

So the question .... should I pursue further the issue of the Connected Drive or given the system is old anyway go for the cheaper option of getting someone to use my iphone 8 to connect to speakers etc as really only the phone and music which bothers me ?

Apologies as very basic question but not sure which way to go ...

Many thanks for any thoughts you may have

as its rebooting you'll most likely need to replace the unit if you're going for business it'll be £250 the most but if you're going down the pro nav route it'll be about £450
