I just downloaded iOS 13 public beta 4 and tested CarPlay. Apple added a new popup garage door option to Dashboard if your door openers support HomeKit. I have LiftMaster garage door openers that are HomeKit enabled. After I pulled out of the garage I tapped the button to close the door. After I drove away from our house the option disappeared. When I returned home the option reappeared so I could tap it to open the door. Very smart of Apple to integrate HomeKit into CarPlay in this way. And my connection issues are gone with iOS 13, this must be an iPhone issue because the BMW updates didn't resolve it (at least for me).

I few more features of CarPlay Apple added:

1. You can now tap the map on the Dashboard to view Apple Maps in full-screen mode.
2. You can now swipe between the Dashboard and the standard app views.
3. There is a new option in Settings to enable or disable album artwork (don't know why anyone would turn it off but there it is).

Sorry about the slightly out-of-focus photo...
