LCI without CarPlay

Does anyone have an LCI without CarPlay, can you confirm that with ConnectedDrive you can purchase CarPlay? Sorta regretting not adding the option as I thought it would be unlockable through iDrive 5+, but dealer says it might not be.

I have a LCI without CarPlay, but can’t check for you until next week. Car is at a body shop fixing a scratch that happened in transit. 😡

Don't know this for a fact, but I'd think enabling CarPlay is just coding. That's why BMW only charges 3 bills for it.

As far as I know, you're mostly paying for apple maps licensing.

Not sure that's the case, as the apps are actually running on your iPhone. Pretty much like the Apple Watch (series 1 & 2) - needs an iPhone to work.

I ordered my car and No CarPlay. I was under the understanding it could be added any time. I don't have an I phone so I thought to wait.

I should be able to confirm this in a few days. My LCI just hit the dealer and i ordered without carplay.

I ordered mine with CarPlay. Not initially, but after I'd placed the order I requested the change. Now I feel like I've just wasted $300. I don't have an iPhone and my employer provides me with a free Android phone so I don't see myself getting an iPhone any time soon.

I only added CarPlay because I thought it might help re-sale slightly, and it wasn't that expensive. The reviews of it haven't been particularly good either, so I truly thing that I and any future buyer probably just won't ever use it.

I had my non LCI firmware updated and I CAN purchase carplay if I wish to do so.
