    well I just learned something new... I had no clue that wireless carplay was something only a few manufacturers were offering

    I drive a 2019 440xi so my car has it....

    the Kona EV would be a second car at home and I would use it to go around town and park in EV spots, that's why Waze is my go to

    1. Cops
    2. Traffic/construction around Montreal can be a hit and miss

    Anyways I found this dongle, I'll buy it when the Kona arrives.... I'll let you guys know how it goes

    Have you seen a similar one for Android Auto that works with the Kona?

    i just looked and i'm not finding anything

    which is weird since Android is usually a much easier software than iOS for anyone to build apps/workarounds for

    I found this carlinkit but that's for android head units,no go for the Kona

    mind you even the one I posted I don't know first hand but there's lots of reviews on it online

    If you press the Nav button again, it should give you the cancel route

    I got that carplay2 adapter (it was a b-day gift) and works very well.. a bit slow to connect as it has to disconnect the Bluetooth straight from the phone, etc. I don’t use it all the time as I rather use the kona nav (I got very limited data on my work phone) and the biggest thing I found with apple CarPlay, it won’t add the directions in the HUD! So I found it more distracting..

  8. Works well. I don't use it all the time but have it plugged in most of the time. Does take a moment or 2 longer to connect and be ready but I usually start driving and it's up by the time I leave the yard, parking lot, etc. Main reason for not using it as primary is that I like the map being full screen and nav directions on HUD. Just personal preference. It's nice to have though, without having to mess with USB cable.
