CarPlay Youtube/Netflix/IPTV

I was wondering if there are any of you who have CarPlay with Youtube/Netflix/IPTV active? What's your experience?
Since today I myself have this option wireless active with jailbreak.
Will not use this while driving.
Are there any other options available?

My iphone is also jailbroken and im using the carbridge tweak to open any app in carplay. Didnt even think about using netflix! Fullscreen youtube on the 10" screen has been such a great experience i forgot to try other streaming apps lol.

If your into monitoring the cars data, you can use bimmerlink on the iDrive screen as well. Only downside is theres no backgrounding for bimmerlink, so you must keep the app open and phone unlocked for it to continue to display.

Airaw is another CarPlay tweak that just came out. Allows you to fully customize CarPlay.

I brought a Carplay Ai android box from Aliexpress. I have managed to connect it to the idrive. It works perfectly for 10 seconds then disconnects. I noticed that the device name changes from ''BMW-3990e'' to QCOM-BTD. Any ideas how to resolve
