Well that’s one thing Hitlerbox got right. No wirelesss car play issues at all. But the rest of the infotainment is slow and annoying if you interact with it. Luckily for me I just keep climate on auto and car play always enabled so I never deal with the inhouse Hitler software.

My 2 Series had constant disconnect issues with wireless CarPlay, but that was around the time when wireless Carplay first rolled out.
I haven’t had any connectivity issues with iDrive 7+ BMWs, except when I try to continue a call after getting out of the car to grab something from the trunk. I’ll transfer the call to my phone, but sometimes it reconnects to the car when I’m near the trunk, so I have to quickly switch it back to my phone. This sort of thing was not a problem with wired carplay which I prefer between the two options.

I make pretty good brownies, but that's pretty much it.

The BMW was worse from what I remember - the wireless CarPlay would disconnect about 20 minutes into nearly every other drive. Turning the Wi-Fi toggle off and back on temporarily fixed it, but only for another 20 minutes or so. I often had to park the car and get back in to get a more stable connection.
The FK8’s wired CarPlay at least kept my phone charged, and most issues were resolved by simply unplugging and reconnecting the phone or resetting the head unit.
I'm glad both experiences are behind me now  | |

I don't understand how Chinese headunits or Chinese PNP add-on kits for CIC/iDrive work way better than OEM Honda. | Chinese OEM don’t have to pass the insane durability testing for shock, temperature, etc meaning they’re 1-4 years ahead with their tech.
Honda’s most recent gen of infotainment still worse than 2015 Stellantis UConnect from in Charger and Grand Cherokee.
BMW iDrive 9 are still the one to beat with Ford Sync 5 coming in a very close second.

Their app is Tesla good, phone as a key works, Carplay/Android Auto are not only wireless but it also supports EV route planning/preconditioning via Google and Apple Maps.
This stuff is so easy my 65 year old dad who thought he lost Google when the Chrome icon disappeared on his phone can figure it out.
In 2025 Ioniq, I haven't tried how stable it is but.....
Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto don’t support EV route planning or battery preconditioning.
Not only do you still need to use the built-in Hyundai navigation system for those features,
But also, to make it work properly, you have to start Carplay first, then turn on the onboard nav. If you reverse the order, it cancels the Hyundai route planning/whatever.
Low key the Hyundai and Kia apps also really suck.
I expect Hyundais' new OS coming in 2026/27 will fix this https://www.carscoops.com/2025/03/hy...esla-knockoff/
