One, sometimes audio cuts out when in wireless carplay, going to troubleshoot this a bit... I put the antenna near the glove box, but perhaps it would be suited better closer to the driver. Second, callers when using carplay can hear themselves clearly, like an echo. This makes calls basically unusable at this point. I contacted the seller, and they said they are working on a fix, but no ETA.
Any updates on the fix? I am quite interested in this however the echo feedback when in a call is what I fear too. My wife has the 2019 MINI JCW with the upgraded MiniConnected with wireless CarPlay. She complains that the audio feed during the call has a lag. Both ends will have a momentary lag while in call and feels like those satellite feeds you see on TV where it's got a minor pause before speaking and it's annoying. CarPlay has since been turned off. Also, the music app does not display the Album Art while playing music through CarPlay where the BMW/Mini Connected player does.
