What I hate about Carplay
I have a 16' 740i and I just to share the things I hate about Carplay:
1. I hate that you can't read text messages or mails 2. I hate that using maps in Carplay mutes your music with directions (versus reduced volume with BMW NAV) 3. I hate that there is no audible ding when you receive new messages 4. I hate that Headsup display does not work with Carplay maps. 5. I wish Google Voice had a Carplay app. Feel free to leave your comments below either agreeing or disagreeing with me. |

Yes, I call it CrapPlay myself. I am using it only for few days, but already got a headache trying to reconnect CarPlay after updating iOS.
Overall quality of software both on BMW and Apple side (not sure who to blame here, so I blame both :P ) is really not what I expected. |

I wish I can read emails too but I think it's disabled for safety reasons. My biggest gripe is sometimes text notifications don't show up.

Muting for map instructions would be nice but I don't consider it necessary. Waze works pretty well with voice alerts. Heads up display of Waze or Google maps would be great, I agree. Bottom line for me is Carplay has some quirks but I do not consider it a disaster. For phone calls, it is IMHO way better than than idrive, and I like being able to listen to ballgames on MLB At Bat and radio stations on iheart Radio or Tune in. It's been improved from the earlier versions for sure and hopefully Apple and BMW can figure out some of the quirks.
