Yes, Siri works well. But, as mentioned previously, you do have to run a separate mic.

Unfortunately, when you start up the car, it defaults to the iDrive system, so you always have to switch to the CarPlay system upon start up (even if you were on the CarPlay system when you last shut the car down). However, the back up camera initiates automatically in either mode.

That is one of my few complaints about this system. You always have to switch to it on start up. And... if you start directions in CarPlay, then toggle to iDrive, then toggle back to CarPlay, you have to restart your directions. But, its not that big of a deal.

There is no other video input source. Only a yellow RCA plug.
