If you patch the headunit with CarPlay/Fullscreen, Bimmercode won't let you code Headunit(unless you restore to OEM), so the best way is to code headunit to your needs then apply the patch. And guys, understand that this is BimmerCode fault. Simple as that. Not related to patch, as E-Sys works perfect. Thanks and let's stop this non-sense discussion.

I'd hardly call this a nonsense discussion as it pertains directly to a downside in getting the full-screen CarPlay.
I'm unclear as to what you mean by "coding headunit". My understanding is that once you do the full-screen CarPlay, you can NOT do any further modifications using BimmerCode? Correct? Or am I missing something? The term "headunit" is confusing me. Reflashing back to stock is not an option for me, as I have a Carbahn tune already. Additionally, there are occasionally things using BimmerCode that I may want to code or uncode at a later date. E-Sys is also not a player as a) I don't have the knowledge and b) don't trust myself not to buffoon something up and c) I only have a MacBook, not a PC. Not trying to pick a fight-- truly trying to understand. |

Reflash its not needed! It is nonsense because I explained everything here. You can code anything using Bimmercode after patch, you will be blocked with iDrive/Headunit/NBT only(don’t know how to explain it to you other way), but there is a easy way as I mentioned. So to be clear: If you use the patch for Fullscreen/CarPlay you will no longer be able to code Headunit/NBTEVO/IDRIVE unless you: 1. Recode it with E-SYS 2. Restore it to OEM using the same way as activation (2 minutes) then apply again 3. Just code things you want before then apply as there is no much really interesting stuff in iDrive/HEADUNIT/NBTEVO to code. If it's done by me ask me to code stuff you need, I'm always willing to help to every customer, because what matters is satisfaction. Thanks Last edited by kubax86; 11-11-2020 at 06:26 PM.. |

If you're worried, make your changes to the head unit ECU in BimmerCode *before* you do the full-screen carplay and everything will work. If you wait until *after* you do the full-screen carplay you wont be able to bimmercode the head unit ECU (other ECUs will still be fine). I'm guessing that the headunit fails some authentication BimmerCode uses once CarPlay is unlocked or full-screened through the back door. |

I'll have to research what's codable on the head unit. Your explanation was a lot clearer to me. I'm analog in a digital world, so I know just enough to get by. R. |

I have 2017 m2 purchased without Carplay. At the time it was $300 option. I know they made Carplay free recently. How do I go about activating Carplay on my car without having to pay a fee/subscription?

From my knowledge free option is not possible on cars that didn't come with Free CarPlay.

Laggy infotainment w/ Apple car play connected
Anyone having lag issues in the infotainment with the wireless Apple car play connected?
Some examples: 1. If you shift from reverse to 1st, the backup camera stays on for a bit 2. Sometimes Apple car play will connect, sometimes it won't 3. Delay in car play connecting |

1) Yes, but if you hit the reverse sensor button it will turn off immediately.
2) Yes, it is quite annoying when it won't connect. Easiest way for me to reconnect is to go into phone settings, and turn off carplay, wait a few seconds and then turn it back on. It reconnects 99% of the time for me when I do this. 3) Yes, and I don't get it either. Sometimes it takes a LONG time, and other times it connects very quickly. You have me wondering if it is bc your bluetooth is connected to something else when you get in the car? Something to test I suppose. All in all, I am over the quirks but do wish it was a bit more consistent. Just happy to have it in the car really. |

Biggest thing with wireless carplay connectivity issues is to NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE when you first turn the car on. If you interact with your phone while you turn your car on, it interrupts the carplay communication process. Wait until carplay is fully connected, then you can unlock your phone or do anything on it (hopefully this is not while you are driving of course).

The camera stays on in first gear until you hit 5 mph I believe. I used to take it slow exiting my parking garage, and i'd sometimes get to the next floor with the camera still on. I'm 99 percent sure this is by design so that if you're doing multiple point turns, the camera doesn't have to turn on and off again. There is about a half a second lag between when the car is shifted into reverse and when the camera actually shows up on screen (at least in a 6MT car.) I honestly find it pretty helpful since I frequently have to maneuver my car in tight spots.
Apple carplay is generally laggy with wireless systems. I also find it annoying, but it's not something i can't live with. I've had it fail to connect 2 or 3 times in my year+ of ownership. Obnoxious, but not a deal breaker. |

There is nothing stopping you from plugging in your phone over USB to use CarPlay...
