Apple Car Play

Post by Avtar » Mon Apr 29, 2024 12:48 pm

So my 2016 B4 did not have the Apple Car Play option selected and I wondered if there was a way to enable this through code option etc? Or has anyone opted for an alternate solution such as these below:

Are you running ID6? If so it will be an easy upgrade to CarPlay.

If you’re running ID5 then you’ll need a box.

I believe ID5 has a Menu List View whereas ID6 has the Tile View? Mine is ID5

The box option are the links I put in the main query.

So I called these guys who supply and fit, it takes about 90 minutes to so a wait service and cost £150 inc VAT to install.

Evolve is holding an event tomorrow Sat 4th of May 6-9pm called Bimmers and burgers.

I thought you could activate Apple carplay through Bimmercode on the F series.

My understanding is that it can only be coded on later models, that usually means car with a build date of September 2016 onwards.
