2. When in CarPlay, when I put the car into Reverse gear (backup camera comes on) and then back into Drive to drive off (backup camera goes away) the display shows the iDrive home screen and doesn't go back to CarPlay even though I was just in it 5 seconds earlier. I have to tap the button again to get CarPlay back up again.

These are the behaviors with the July '23 firmware that I am currently running that I am hoping the new April '24 firmware corrects and am hoping someone who used to have my problem can confirm it is solved now. Thanks.
Just in case others have the "when I restart the car or shift from the reverse camera back to drive the display goes back to the BMW home screen and not CarPlay" issue, the new firmware solves this.
