Even if I cancel the route through BMW, CarPlay will not reconnect until I restart the car.
I really hope BMW will get their act together and fix this issue or update software to allow wired CarPlay. Does BMW expect people to pay $80 a year for broken CarPlay? I haven’t heard any other car makers charging for subscription and have it not working.

I’m getting my car in a few weeks having CarPlay was one of the major decisions to get this car. Maybe I should just bail out on my order.
