How do I tell if I got wifi antenna
Since the wifi antenna is required to activate apple carplay and I plan to do just that I need to find a way of knowing if I got the bloody thing.
My car is a 2017 BMW M2 LCI (idrive 6 the one with touchscreen). I'm pretty much afraid that I'll pay for the FSC code and I can't activate for the missing antenna. So what do I need to find out if I got it? |

Thanks.
I did a check on bimmer tech with my VIN. It seems that I can purchase Apple Carplay and Enhanced Bluetooth. I don't see any wifi antenna cable available. So I guess I should be fine. Would you mind to point me the ebay seller here or in a private message so I at least I get the FSC code from someone with one success . |

I used this site to check if I have a wifi antenna:
https://www.bimmer-tech.net/compatib...ay-activation/ Can anyone confirm if this site is accurate? Strange thing is when I looked up my vin on mdecoder.com, under the multimedia section I see that I don't have the CarPlay preparation (6CP) option. So does this indicate I don't have a wifi in my car which is contrary to what the above bimmer-tech link says? |

Does this mean I don't have the wifi antenna? Is there another option through the vin search listed for my car that would indicate I have the antenna? |

Here's another question: where is the wifi antenna located? I removed my wireless charging cradle from my arm rest. Did I get rid of the wifi antenna as well??

kubax86 New here, came across this post trying to troubleshoot issues with my carplay. I have installed it today but cant seem to get a connection to establish. Would you be able to check the VIN and advise if I have the required wifi antenna please?

Pretty sure it's located in the trunk floor, forward of the battery area and to the left (driver side) of the fuse box. If I am mistaken, please correct me.
Here's a pic. |
