Wireless CarPlay has been working flawlessly in my 2021 BM x5 (btw, so has digital car key on iPhone and Watch), but I still wish Apple would create a better UI.  Current display is so cartoonish. Let me choose color schemes. BM has a charging pad that works fine but it is hidden down in the console.  With every new iOS update I make certain to delete both my iPhones from CarPlay and then add back from scratch.  This might be why I have not had any issues with Car Play.

??? I just downloaded iOS 16.3.2, not …3.1.

Will manufactures ever change the design?  I own several smart-plugs but the best ones are from iDevices cuz the outlet is on the side.  This prevents cord plugs from sticking way out in tight spaces.

Yup, am still hoping for a great set of Sonos headphone (not as heavy as AP Max), but am interested in any new speaker Sonos releases. I own 14 Sonos speakers and absolutely love the sound/looks/set up and as much as I like Apple stuff, I would never even consider HomePods over Sonos.   A few years back there were rumors of Apple wanting to buy out Sonos.  I feel badly for the Apple exec who did not finalize said rumor cuz a product line of “Apple Sonos” would have been a great move.  I will keep one or two HP minis just for SmartHome voice control, but my Sonos are here to stay and worth the investment.  Like Apple, Sonos customer support is superb.

I really like using wireless Car Play in my BM, especially Maps which is always more up to date than BM OEM navigation.  But there seems to be a volume level issue with Car Play and I do not like the cartoonist/Disney-like icons/colors displayed when Car Play is in use.  Wish I had more options to change icon sizes, colors and background display.  Guess Apply wants Car Play images to really stand out just like their refrigerator white-only Airpods.
