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?

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

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?
