Android is the front end OS, sound is delivered to idrive via the Aux port. Idrive still runs in the background and can be switched to foreground via an icon on the Android screen. Long pressing on the idrive controller Menu button also flips between the Android and idrive interfaces.
iPhone can still connect, both via BT on the Android interface, or BT on the idrive interface. If you connect via the idrive BT, then sound can only come from your iPhone OR Android, but not both at the same time (cos the Android interface uses the idrive Aux port).
The Android interface already comes with reverse camera and front camera (aka DVR) ports.
