On top of that the android portion was so incredibly buggy and laggy. Every time I opened spotify if forgot my login. The idrive would navigate one step in the wrong direction before going the right way. And a ton of other small things.

I will say I never got around to trying out Carplay which was one big draw for me on the unit, I am sure Android Auto is fun to test out.
which version was it?
Mine works pretty well for me so far, I use Spotify without issue, audio is through the bracket, not with audio input, and quality is good, interface is fast, integration with idrive works great.
You also have to load another launcher to make the experience enjoyable, I find the original one horrendous.
