Ah interesting, yeah I looked it up and I have iDrive 5.0. Wireless carplay works flawlessly for me, the only complaint I have is that it's still only 2/3rds of the otherwise gorgeous wide screen.

Personally, "plug it in" would not be a viable solution for me. I make a lot of short trips in the car and having carplay start up while my phone remains in my pocket is a big plus.
Makes sense, just that plugging it in is more reliable for it to work (at least with iDrive 7). Audi's new MMI does it the best, allowing it to work wirelessly or corded.
