Thank you for the update and for being the brave soul to install this new unit! That's awesome to hear that the sound quality is excellent. I unfortunately had to pre-order from their website because ebay was sold out so I have to wait until Sept. From the looks of it, the only that would bother me would be how it reverts back to Carplay from the OEM CIC system after 20 seconds. Do you know what would happen if the unit does not detect your phone, would it just not come on?

I’m not sure to be quite honest. There’s a setting for “auto-start phone link app” that you can disable so I think that would prevent the automatic switching to CarPlay. I’m sure there are more settings in regards to the switching back and forth hidden in the “advanced settings” menu. Hopefully I’ll have the password for that tomorrow. We’ll see.
One notable thing I just discovered:
It doesn’t appear this box has support for voice control. The steering wheel button only summons iDrive’s voice control prompt. I don’t really mind this, I don’t use voice control myself, but some people might not like that. Personally, the sound quality is just so dang good that I couldn’t care less. Maybe they will address this on future firmware updates. It’s a brand new platform!
