Apple carplay and Rustproofing
Hi guys,
Just have 2 random questions. I heard the new apple carplay is a huge improvement and I am actually getting a new Iphone just for wireless charging. Since my phone will be wirelessly charged, can I just bluetooth my phone to the car and start apple carplay? I really want to use Google map as my navigation over BMW one. 2nd question. I live in AB, which is one of the coldest region of Canada and there's snow everywhere. I know BMW X5 is a well built car, but is it worth doing aftermarket rustproofing of underbody panels? Yay or nay? Heard it may void warranty. Thanks a lot guys! |

When it's working, CarPlay is beautiful and especially Google Maps. It looks fantastic on the huge screen. The bugs for me include random phone disconnects, voice control button not always passing through, slow or non responsive heads-up display, and some random glitchy behavior when having to switch to iDrive to access car functions. Theoretically these issues should be improved with forthcoming software updates from both BMW and Apple. |
