You must have the Driving Assistance Pack.

It’s pretty cool how it does that, I almost never have to touch the accelerator or brake for roundabouts and junctions!
The downside is that it leaves its braking a little later than I would and if there were a car on the junction would it stop? So covering and then just touching the brake drops it out. If I had Carplay would it still get the nav information it needsto do that I wonder?
 
Assuming you have an iPhone, it allows you to get rid of the god awful MBUX and instead use Apple Maps/Google Maps/Waze, Spotify, Audiobooks, etc.

If installed you can choose whether to use it or not.

You can also use CarPlay and MBUX simultaneously for some things, ie radio from mbux and navigation from CarPlay.
Actually I don't find MBUX bad at all. My only disappointment is that TomTom is a much better nav sytem. You will say, I'm sure, use Wayz or equiv on Play. My car (and I don't know how "across the range" it is) slows down on it's own for roundabouts and turns even if I don't have a route planned, so it must pick up info from the inbuilt nav system. I like the novelty of that. But NO speed cam audible warnings
 
I have a 2020 car with, apparently, Carplay included. I noticed it's marked "purchased" but I didn't specifically buy it. Is it worth installing, and if I don't like it, can it be disabled? What advantages does it give me?
