Assistive touch and Apple Carplay problems - BMW

Anyone facing this problem post iOS 14.2 update.

If the assistive touch is on, the Carplay menu doesn't work in BMW E90. You won't be able to select any menu or input anything using iDrive controller.


Everything works as expected if the Assistive touch is switched off!


Is this already known reported problem or still some blame game is on between BMW and Apple?



iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

I have a 2019 Mercedes Benz GLC 300 and iPhone Xr with Assistive touch enabled and caused the same Carplay issue. Basically, it will allow me to position to any app but when you click on Command to enter the app then it just does not do anything. Once I turned off Assistive touch then "ENTER" command worked and everything back to normal. This issue only started when I upgraded my iPhone Xr to iOS 14.2. 14.1 was fine and it is definitely iOS 14.2 issue.
