Also-I was wondering how phone calls work now. I'd actually rather keep the native bluetooth phone answering system- is that possible? Or if carplay is active, the phone call has to come through carplay, and therefore the new microphone has to be used?

Any comments on the microphone quality? Where did you all place them? I would hate to lose significant phonecall quality.
What can I say, I'm an enabler!

I'm still using the native Bluetooth system for my iPhone and have no complaints. If CarPlay is active, you can control the phone via CarPlay interface or the steering wheel buttons, or the phone itself. I like this combination b/c if I pull the lightning cable or turn off the car, the call doesn't drop from the BMW audio source mid call. My mic is directly above my rear view mirror clipped onto the grommet on the head liner and the wires are tucked up under the headliner.
