"+" Hyundai
1. Carplay is standard on every late model
2. No subscription requires
"-" of Hyundai
1. Has to be plugged in to use
2. Takes over the entire center screen and does not allow for anything else to be displayed (such as radio and other vehicle settings)
"+" of BMW
1. Wireless - fits the theme of Bluetooth, wireless phone, proximity key. Once set up you never have to take your phone out of your pocket/purse/jacket.
2. Allows split screen - Carplay is just a small function of your iDrive. I don't know if it's possible to program Carplay as one of the function button. (1-8)
"-" of BMW
1. You will eventually need a USB port to charge your phone as you use Carplay. This function can drain an iPhone battery rapidly
2. $80 a year subscription or $300 for 20 years. Come on BMW! Seriously?
What happens if I trade in my BMW like I usually do after 6 months to a year?

You cannot program a memory button to CarPlay and it's infuriating. I also dislike how pressing the nav button on iDrive opens the Apple Maps app on CarPlay even though I'm using Waze.
