iPhone 8 plus snap in adapter?

How well does the iPhone 8 plus work on a 2013 year X3? My google pixel bluetooth connection is fucking terrible. Lags, doesn't always connect, song info doesn't get updated on the display (get stuck), track buttons on steering wheel don't change music, etc. I'm not a "power user" when it comes to smartphones so moving from Android to Apple to get better functionality isn't a big deal.

Plus I hear when using the snap in adapter it connects the phone to the vehicle's antenna for better reception and stuff like cover art?? I would love to know more. Hell, just having the dang thing work via bluetooth without it constantly mess up would be a win.

You might just need to do the bluetooth update on your X3. I have had a few android phones and I can control it from the steering wheel, and it shows all the track info and such.

It's on the latest update. I've heard a lot of people having issues with Google Pixel phones and bluetooth

On my 16' the bluetooth works like a dream! Not sure if theres much of a difference over the years.
