My M340i has just downloaded and installed the 07/2020 update. My comments are:

1) I now hate the fact that seemingly the only way to enter Sat Nav addresses is via voice input. What if you’re abroad and can’t pronounce some or all of the address??

2) Apple CarPlay is now extremely sluggish and black screens appear for ages before the selection appears (e.g. Phone or Settings etc). Spotify fails to load at all although I can use Spotify via Media (I am not “techie”, does this connect via the car’s WiFi rather than via my iPhone X’s CarPlay?)

3) As an aside, does anyone else find the wretched Driver Attentiveness setting keeps reverting to “Standard” when I turn the car back on after I’ve previous set it to “Off” (like I do with all the other so called nanny state safety stuff!).

4) Lastly, after the software update, I am STILL getting the very annoying notification that my iPod Touch is connected via USBC. I would have thought BMW would have corrected this error in the update!

Any thoughts or advice especially regarding the Sat Nav address input and sluggish CarPlay.

Thanks.
