Dealership says they can't do anything at this stage to retrofit headunits. Said I could look at aftermarket solutions but that it would void the headunit warranty so not something they can recommend.

I might look into Bimmertech but this whole situation has been quite frustrating. I'm coming from a 2016 VW GTI that has it setup seamlessly so having to do this stuff on the side in a 2018 BMW seems really stupid.
