It's pretty unlikely that anyone will get 20 years out of a subscription, because the technology will change and what we have now will be obsolete and they'll drop support for it. 20 years ago my analog Motorola flip phone was the hottest mobile tech going, and the iPhone didn't exist ... heck, the IPod was still two years away.

This is what I received when I asked about the pro-rated refund:

Does iOS 13 support fullscreen without coding?

No, on idrive 6 and iOS 13 it will not be full screen CarPlay without a patch.

I 'patched' it and fullscreen is way better than split screen IMO. If you take the BMW Map and make it split screen and then make it full screen again that added map screen real estate is what you're missing out on by not having fullscreen Carplay. I use Waze a lot and having the extra width made a huge difference. Other things like podcasts and such also use the full screen mode so they look much better (not squished). I'm on iOS 13 beta.

That's a long way of saying that I highly recommend fullscreen carplay if you don't have it.

I want to code Carplay and I was hesitant between only Carplay or Carplay + Fullscreen, I might go for the fullscreen now.
How did you code yours? Any reliable sellers?

I used a place called fscmap.com.
