Super quick and easy, not even 5 minutes! The hardest part was to find a USB stick with max 8gb

Badass man! I love it so much more now!
Lmao a coworker of mine actually had an 8gb drive at her desk so I totally lucked out

Awesome!

You don't need to worry about the USB if it is bigger than 8gig. You can just delete the entire partition and create a new partition with the size you need or want from your disk manager. If you need 8gig just set the partition to that size and do a quick format on it.

Don't get your iStep updated or you will lose this, and the ability to update via USB.

This is 100% correct at the moment. A solution is being looked into.

Guys, bimmercode has a field called carplay_fullscreen, can anybody try if they can code it to aktiv?

So is the OBD adapter required permanently or only for coding?

Just for the coding session

I reached out to tech support and was told
"I am not sure this can be coded or requires a different approach to be honest."

For anybody who already has carplay.

Hu_nbt> 3000hmi> carplay_fullscreen

Of course this is via expert mode in bimmercode

I have Carplay.
I have downloaded bimmercode but that field is not there in the Demo mode.
Do I need to order an ODB dongle and actually connect to my car to see this?
The best dongle they listed as supported is from Germany (in Euros). Seems too much of a hassle.
What dongles do you guys use/recommend? Don't want to spend too much on this experiment.

My experience is the demo is not representative of your actual vehicle. For example I somehow can’t find display_resolution in 3000hmi with vehicle connected but it’s available in the demo.

I had mine updated during break in service. I know have full screen CarPlay.

Your what updated?
iDrive?
You're saying the latest idrive has full screen CarPlay as standard?

I've tried this, but have you actually had luck with it working?

This happens when I enable it. (just get a grey box instead of the full screen) I've tried resetting everything, unpairing and re-pairing, no luck.

I can confirm what articulatedsphinx found above: using Bimmercode and coding “CarPlay fullscreen’’ to aktiv, results in a white/grey box on the right 1/3 of the display

[scflaw]

Seems like we are missing a piece of the puzzle. Unfortunately I don’t have carplay to test it out on, as my car doesn’t have connected drive. Sorry guys/gals.

Yes, please provide more details.

Unfortunately it's not as simple as 1 FDL coding item.

Yeah, so word from the grapevine is that BMW is actively seeking to prevent USB coding, specifically that which relies on blackbox sistemi/hutool. This is partly related to revenue protection, but also system integrity.

The new update can brick the headunit if you have had certain programming done due to CRC checks, the old one which if replaced under warranty, is sent to BMW for analysis.

Like I said before don't update your Istep if you are worried about this.

I don't mind paying for the feature just give me a way to enable it.
