Now to set humor aside and answer your question... You can still read and respond to text messages just like CarPlay and here are other features:
Ability to connect 2 bluetooth phones simultaneously
Additional Microphone - For improved communications
iSpeech - Voice control for contacts and music
Mobile Office - Text Messages, Email, Calendar, Tasks, Contact photos, Voice memos. |
Thanks. I just ordered my car yesterday and I asked for CarPlay. My current car has Siri Eyesfree, it notifies me when I receive a text message, reads it out to me and I use Siri to reply. I don't think I will like CarPlay because of the takeover issue, but couldn't figure out if I needed the enhanced bluetooth to get the notification of text messages. I understand using Siri I can read my text messages, but I like the notification feature. It's all so confusing and BMW isn't very clear and neither are the Genius' I have spoken to.
