2016 M2 Carplay upgrade
I just bought a 2016 M2 (Stoked to say the least), and was wondering if there was any options out there to upgrade the iDrive software to iDrive 6 and get Carplay in the car.
Thanks! |

Hey kubax86
Is there any way to have CarPlay work via USB? I’m mostly thinking about lossless audio passthru quality since the Bluetooth/Wifi connection doesn’t sound as good as USB hardwire. |

If you're hearing clear sound degradation over wireless it's an issue with the head unit. |

I suspect it’s bc we have Gen 1 like CarPlay in our OG M2’s and BMW uses a hybrid Bluetooth/WiFi setup for Carplay. There’s definitely some limitations in the implementation of CarPlay in our vehicles vs whatever the standard is now. |

I'm not saying there isn't a difference during actual execution, but the setup has the capability to stream the same audio quality regardless of usb or wifi. Likely iOS downgrading it for whatever reason. |

That said, I don't listen to music in my M2 nearly as much as I used to post-Stg 2+ mods, map, turbo, downpipe, and Akrapovic exhaust. So, maybe the CarPlay convenience will win me back over. My only other gripe is having to switch back to iDrive to read my TPMS.... |

Hi kubax86 - would appreciate details here as well. I see the “F8X ultimate pack” on your site…guessing that is the best way to upgrade both to carplay and the steering/diff? Has anyone preferred stock diff/trans/steering/etc, or is it best just to go for all of the updates at once?

Got the F8X ultimate pack done with Kubax on my 2016 last week. Carplay and updated software is as advertised - makes it feel new with no issues so far. Haven't driven enough to comment on the CS steering/DCT/diff yet. In any case, Kubax makes the process easy!

Hi Kubux,
I have a 2016 BMW M2 without apple carplay and found that you were the right person for the job. I live in So-Cal I hope that won't be a problem. Could you please send me a PM for the details. Thank you so much! |
