BMW connected drive - whinge

Hi guys

I generally hate whinging on a forum but there is something that is very much annoying me

this may be better placed in a non regional specific nor F80 specific part of the forum but im not sure if it applies to other models.

connected drive

I want to use spotify, I want to use the lap timer (in theory) I want to use google maps

as soon as I lower the handbrake and take out of park - it locks me out of these apps.

basically you can use apps like spotify (if you want to sit in your garage with the handbrake up and in park)

as you would know you cant put the car in park while its on so its not even a case of handbrake up at a red light - once you get going from being parked - locked out of apps

im guessing this is a BMW Oz / ADR safety regulation....but its fucking annoying

Is there a workaround, do other people share my frustration or I am just being a whinging prick.

thanks
