Yes, works fine about 90% of the time.

When you add music to your library does it show up? Or when you update a playlist? Mine only does when I delete the Music app off my phone..

Huh... no mine shows up by itself. I actually have an iPod that stays in the car. Whenever I add music to my library on my computer, the iPod updates automatically (since it is connected to Wifi). Make sure you have set your phone/ipod to download new music automatically.
The 10% of the time it doesn't work flawlessly is when the playlist disappears from the HUD and I re-select the playlist again from. IDrive to make it re-appear in HUD.

Weird. Mine shows up on my phone but doesn't reflect on iDrive.

I use Apple Music on iDrive and as soon as I start the car it plays by itself.

Every once in a while it takes a very long time or does not load the playlist even though songs will still play.

Haven't had any issues with new songs not coming up. I have iPhone X if that helps.

Yes, I use Apple Music through my iPhone either coupled to I drive or Bluetooth. Couple of times over the last 6 months I've had to restart the car to get a connection.

I ordered my G20 with apple car play installed.

Well, hopefully the iPhone 12 Pro works better then, thanks for the feedback everyone.
