making it wireless removes 95% of my complaints about it. It s not perfect, but what MMI is? I loved it in my XC90, and even more in my G30. I haven't done any serious testing with wireless carplay yet but my quick comparisons don't reveal nearly as significant a difference as going from BT to cable.Īnd I don't get the hate that carplay gets.
WAZE PLAY SOUND TO PHONE SPEAKER BLUETOOTH
It's really not an iphone issue, it's all about the bluetooth.įor reference, I also have an XC90 with the B+W sound system option, and wired audio sounded WAY better than bluetooth (and way better than satellite radio for that matter). I searched a bit online for stats on the audio quality of bluetooth but couldn't find anything. I'd like to think it can do it, but that may be a big assumption.Ĭlick to expand.The Kaizer knows more about all this than I do, but bluetooth in general just has pretty poor sound quality when compared to other modes of data streaming (e.g., cabled or the wifi used in wireless carplay). You said to assume the higher bit rate can be handled through wireless - do you think that's the case for an iPhone 7? The iPhones have been behind in respect to specs for things such as audio output etc when compared to Samsung and other brands. So you are saying there's a way to stream it over CarPlay instead? Am I able to do that while still using Waze from the iPhone? Or once you turn on CarPlay for music streaming the other functions of your phone are limited to CarPlay only?

When picturing how I would stream music from Tidal to the BMW, I was just assuming I'd use audio streaming over Bluetooth. I know I'll use Waze from my phone, unless they've already Waze to CarPlay (I think that was supposed to happen this fall)? Other than reading so many people do not seem to be too happy with it. My 2019 540ix will be the first CarPlay car I've had, so I'm not familiar with it. There is still sound from navigation so all sound isn't out. The music still appears to be playing (the clock still runs) but no sound. When using carplay to stream apple music and also using Waze for navigation the music audio will quit.
