I have a 2017 M2 and wonder if it's possible to update to IDrive6 and get Apple carplay?
When i visiting Bmw-connected Apple Carplay is not supported on my Car (I can't buy the service from BMW). I have the big navigation system with large screen.
When I enable IDrive6 lite do I get the Apple CarPlay enabled at the same time?

If you have IDrive 5, then you can switch to ID6. For Carplay, you need FSC code, but it can be added. PM me if interested.

Yes. Coding HMI_ID_VERSION can toggle between ID5 & ID6.

Thanks for the reply Almaretto, but I can't find HMI_ID_VERSION any where under HU_NBT. Am I not looking at the right place?

HU_NBT has ID4. You cannot code ID4 to ID5 or 6.

Hi Guys

I m a '16 M2 owner.
Talking about the main dashboard, I saw on the net that there are different looks about the icons exc. (Navi, media, widget exc) That made me think maybe i got an old version of the system?
Is there any chance to update it?

Lets say someone theoretically did this, and consequently broke their navigation on their id4, is it fixable? And how do you go about fixing it?

Asking for a friend..

So if you're now on ID4 Repair Kit is enough.
If you're on ID5/6 you need customer FSC set.
