Entertainment/telephone in HUD settings

What does this option do? No matter if i connect my phone (iPhone 11 pro) via Bluetooth or via the usb cable, I get no music info in the HUD. Car is a stock ‘14 550 Msport.

Check the phone settings in "options." There should be selections for audio & telephone.

I have mine checked off. Whether I have my phone connected via charger or Bluetooth it will show the call on HUD or if I'm playing music, I can scroll through songs to select, just like if I'm scrolling through radio stations

Ok, I can scroll through songs using the steering wheel, wheel(?). Is that the extend of the “entertainment” part of the feature? I was hoping for static info about the current song or station.
I don’t see any phone call info on the HUD though. Nothing about incoming calls or info about a current call.

Yeah as far as the "entertainment" portion, I think that's it. It just give you song title & feat. artist.

The phone portion only shows up for a bit on an outbound call. Does not show inbound on HUD. That pops up on the nav screen.
