Live Cockpit Pro integration with Apple CarPlay

I'm waiting for my new X4 M40i to arrive, and wondering about how Live Cockpit Pro and Apple CarPlay get along? In my X1, it's an either/or situation - either rely on CarPlay and it's apps and Siri, or switch to iDrive. 99% of the time I am in CarPlay because I like to use Waze, and it's easy to access my YouTube music account. When in CarPlay, it means that my heads up display only shows speed, and if I advance a track in my music.

I've heard the integration with Cockpit Pro and iDrive 7 is better, but, for instance, the center of the primary information screen (speedometer/tach etc), which defaults ot a map, will be blank in CarPlay - and there's really nothing else you can put there.

Anyway with experience? I would like to take better advantage of Live Cockpit than I get out of iDrive in my X1.

Thanks
