I've tried both Android Auto (Razr+) and CarPlay (iPhone 13) on my 2023 M340i. The resolution using CarPlay appears much sharper than Android Auto.

I've tried increasing the resolution in the Android Auto developer settings, but it looks the same.

Does anyone else have this experience?

It's linked to 5Ghz Wifi. Is your BMW and Phone connected over 5Ghz network? You can check using WIFIman app

No unfortunately not. I'm still interested in finding a solution.

I didn't know this was a thing - I have the S23 Ultra. I've always thought AA looked great on my ID7 display. I can connect my work iPhone to do a comparison.

This is only a guess from me, but I think it might look fine on <iDrive 8 because the screen on ID8 is now 2880*1080 pixels. I don't think Android Auto can scale up to this resolution cleanly.
