Even though I'm adamant that playing around with texts in a car whilst driving is a bad idea, the rise of WhatsApp by so many people instead of GSM text means that often I receive WhatsApp messages on my phone which since its stored with its protective cover over it, I'm never aware of receiving them as the message arriving sound is drowned out by the ambient cabin noise.
Also trying to read them on an iphone is clearly illegal.
However it does appear to be legal to read a text in Carplay?
So..the issue I have is that the aftermarket boxes use the 3.5mm audio feed to play audio and is generally recognised as somewhat inferior to either BMW's bluetooth or especially extended USB support.
The question therefore is 'using one of those MMI boxes' can you support WhatsApp whilst listening to audio played through extended USB?
Can you set it up so that you are using the BMW nav whilst easily being notified of incoming WhatsApp messages?
