    Navigation Screen and associated whistles and bells

    Now that you have this, do you find that you use it, and which feature do you use the most?

    I'm coming from an E36 325iC, and still shopping for an E93, and I have an E53 with the nav that I never use. I put on Google Map or Waze, and plug in my Aux cable and turn on Pandora. It's a bit clunky but I get nav and music so I tolerate it. Does the new (E9x) display my phone on the screen, removing the clunkiness that I struggle with now?

    I guess I'm asking for an overview of the system capabilities as the screen is concerned. I know there is a better Aux connection than what I am currently using in my X5, but I have an aux cable and a charging cable hanging off of the dashboard that I do not know if I still need.

    E9x's done have Apple Carplay or Android Auto. I don't even think they will stream Bluetooth from your phone. They will connect via the USB jack though.

    Okay, so I'm using Google Maps or Waze instead of the navigation, that's reason to not hold out for the screen. Thanks.

    I am looking at a car that does not got the nav screen, and I'm less than thrilled with the Nav system in my X5. I have a friend with the 128, and she has Apple/Android interface, I guess that was what I'm asking about the E93, and you answered the question. Do you have the nav screen in your E9x, and do you use the features or is it more of a waste of space than you were thinking it would be?
