Ok thanks guys I guess it will just have to stay the traditional way in the middle screen for now then. Really a shame not to have the basic directions in the center at least.
Its probably some restriction on CarPlay being a specific screen size to make compatibility easier.

Have to admit I prefer the look of my old MIB1 unit when i was playing music via a cable. The album artwork looked great. On the Carplay the massive chunky buttons look rubbish to me so once the music is playing I change the view.
 
Guys can someone please confirm if the reverse parking trajectory lines (the yellow lines that move dynamically depending on what your predicted trajectory are only available on the MIB2 Navigation Plus system? I cannot see them on my MIB1 so I assume so but would be nice to have it confirmed... :(
