It does not. Only on center screen and voice directions.

You can split screen with CarPlay on iDrive 6. I have done it in my 2018 540. I'm sure it will work on iDrive 7, too. That said, I rarely use CarPlay because iDrive is so good.
I thought I might for Waze, but find it clunky on CarPlay. |

The main drivers for CarPlay use for me is reading and answering text messages while driving, google map navigation, audible for audiobooks, and voice internet searches for things. If idrive does those things well then i would not need it either.

Yes and no. What i do is have BMW navi set directon (shows on HUD as well) and i keep waze generally on (without putting in a destination). U still get notifications from waze based on "direction" u r moving. If u select an address on waze Bmw navi automatically shuts off.

I did two short runs today in this mode but I could not see an alert on the iPhone nor did I hear any audio alerts.

I rented a bare bones VW Jetta a few weeks ago and it was my first time using CarPlay ... waze nav worked great so if my $80k car can't do it I will not be happy driver!

I think I got a disclaimer somewhere along the line that said you won’t be able to navigate with Waze. I was ok with that but not with not receiving the alerts. Makes Waze useless to me and car play too as a result. Also my google maps don’t work on car play for me. Waze is about the only thing that halfway works. And not the good half.

I made one phone call when Car Play was active and the audio was distorted. Was that an anomaly or known to others?

If using Waze this way + getting AppleMusic playlists work consistently, then there is little reason for me to bother with CarPlay. I asked the dealer IT guy again about a shortcut to go from full iDrive to CarPlay and he did not know of such.

It's ridiculous that Tesla doesn't offer CarPlay or Android Auto, and despite the recent refresh, the centre screen in the Model S and X is horribly dated looking now. Looking forward to getting back into a vehicle with a proper interior and up to date user interface

Its ridiculous that BMW is charging for car play. There is technically no reason for BMW to charge for carplay other than getting greedy. When a 15K Kia can have it for free why not a 80K BMW?

Car speakers, but then I have Waze configured to do so. By that I mean, play at BT phone call.
