It’s all bloody annoying.
Sometimes the CarPlay UI will not appear on the screen and I have to press the CarPlay icon in the top title bar of the idrive screen to get it to show.

I expected CarPlay to be much more polished than it is. What I want is it to auto load when I get in the car (this works) and then begin playing music exactly where I left off. I found that the latter works only on occassion, so to remedy this problem I created a shortcut “when CarPlay connects play YouTube music”.

I also have the occasional issue where the steering controls stop working for CarPlay, for this I created another shortcut to disable and re-enable Bluetooth. This does not occur that often, but the shortcut provides a quick fix when it does.
