As Apple CarPlay is available for latest models from car manufacturers, most of 'near new' or recent models are left with same / similar looking
Infotainment screen systems, yet missing out Apple CarPlay features and can't be updated.

Due to most of Factory infotainment systems those came out before Apple CarPlay equipped one, will not have video inputs to support connecting your phone

for Apple CarPlay nor Android Auto also.

With Naviplus's Apple CarPlay Integration service, you can use Apple CarPlay and all its features on CIC iDrive display of BMW
With simply connecting your iPhone to dedicated USB port, will activate and run CarPlay straight away.

Control of the iPhone on the Audio screen

If you still need to use your phone while driving, at least use it through car audio screen with full control of essential features, supported by Apple.

Here's what you will find in the Apple CarPlay will grant:

Navigation with Apple Maps – Free turn-by-turn navigation with lane guidance, live traffic conditions, points of interest, and more
Hands-free phone and messaging – Make calls and send messages without taking your hands off the wheel, via Phone and iMessage
Info and assistance – Get weather, traffic, commute information and more organized into simple cards

Perhaps the main & solid reason why people are after the Apple CarPlay in their vehicle.
