Have minimal interaction with the MIB once set up

Car Play works well with my Deezer but only hook this up for longer journeys

Have zero interest in sending or receiving messages while driving (mobiles and distraction one of my room 101)

Only receive calls through the Bluetooth as that instantly connects, it would have to be really urgent for me to dial anyone while driving and when ever have had to do it, then its via the MFD display

Short Journeys just listen to radio

So Car Play is a nice bolt on to listen to another music option, and if not have Sat Nav it has extended use but for me once set up the media is a minor interaction and hence not wowed by recent facelift.

Siri is ok if have music on phone in a library but does not support streaming apps. I maybe different to many, but like to just drive and listen to music and any contact with anyone can wait till car stops

Worth having the Car Play if have streaming services and even though Bluetooth can play music library the Car Play UI is better.

Car Net? do not bother, even the guy selling it yesterday on FL announcement seemed disinterested and wanted to move on!
