I usually operate on a mac as well but for this particular upgrade I borrowed someone's laptop PC. It literally is a 2 minute update.

On a mac you need to set up parallels or run windows on it, I am not really a fan of that personally.

I just did this last night on a Mac with a Windows guest running VMWare Fusion. You need to do a couple of things. You need an Ethernet dongle connected to your Mac to plug the ENET Cable into.
1. Inside your Mac System Preferences —> Network —> Advanced , you reorder the network interfaces so your Wi-Fi (Internet) connection is first, and your Ethernet dongle is second
2.Inside VMWare you will need to add an additional network interface and map that to the Ethernet dongle and map your internet facing interface to the Wi-Fi interface on your Mac.

Once you have the ENET cable connected to your OBD port and can see both interfaces connected in VMWare, you can run the Feature Installer software.

Just installed full screen CarPlay via Kubax86. Such a simple process and he's always on hand to answer any questions. Straight forward install and very happy customer.

Finally, full screen carplay!

If you're looking for full screen carplay, look no further than kubax86. I reached out to him and he answered the questions I had and got me up and running with full screen carplay in less than 15 minutes and at a reasonable price at that.

Reach out to him at oempackbmw@gmail.com. I promise you won't be disappointed. Please forgive the blurry photo.

What happens after the dealer flashes the car (speedo etc blacked out so they had to replace the whole cluster) and now navigation is stuck on the loading screen?

And another one for kubax86. Great communication. Easy to work with. Fast. Helpful.

Full screen CarPlay on my ‘17 M2 is the jam. The new dashboard you get in iOS 14 needs the mod to not look dumb. Makes it actually usable.

Watching him work was a impressive. Going back for the CS steering/dif/DSC updates.

Did you have kubax's carplay activation (or just full screen?) installed at the time? Any reason you didn't roll it back before bringin to the dealer?

It all depends on current software in the car.
Some of them needs ENET cable, sometimes USB is enough.

Another shoutout to Kubax for a great service with upgrading to the Apple CarPlay full screen. I had some hiccups with my laptop but Kubax hopped into a remote session and fixed everything. Working great so far.
