This varies between markets. Be aware this is a global forum and generalisations are often incorrect.
However, the bigger point is the utterly confusing and customer-hostile approach BMW have taken to implementing CarPlay. There is no clear statement of guidance from the company, per model, on what the correct specification is, and whether what is ordered actually meets that specification. Not even dealer staff know, and that includes the co-called "BMW Genius"! And then — unlike other manufacturers — BMW charges a subscription. That is a plain, simple customer gouge!
BMW's approach to CarPlay is quite outrageous, and needs to be called out. Especially compared with the approach of other, even budget, car makers.
