Apple Carplay wired option for better experience?

Hello All, I have my older iphone that connects to my new X5 wirelessly. I notice that there is a significant delay in the touch and pause/play action using the system. This is my first experience with the wireless carplay, so I am wondering if there were an option to connect via old fashioned USB to remove the delay...

I understand this may not be the case for the newest iphone S or XS, but anyone else experience this delay?

You need to have a faster phone to avoid lag, I have used iphone 6+ (not S) until recently and with a new iphone x there is very little lag and it quite fast. I do not think you can connect Apple CarPlay with a cable.

I'm wondering if audio quality would be better if passed through the cable vs BT connection.

I'd hope you could opt to use ACP wired. Sound quality would be better - it is in my E70 vs BlueTooth

Hmm, I tried to do the wired via the USB C in the center console, but it did not connect or give me any options at all.

You are mistaken. Wireless CarPlay uses the WiFi signal and transfers the audio uncompressed similar to AirPlay. The audio is not transmitted using BlueTooth with CarPlay.

Oh yea? This is great to know. I'm comparing Tidal Hifi vs amazon music in my vehicle. I thought I'd have to try to reconfigure it to play via lightning cable (iPhone) but seems that there is no need to do so.
