I'm thinking the same, I emailed the seller on Amazon.

I picked the lite option.

Where are you seeing this?
I'm still only able to find 4plus and 5...
Mine's a US 2017 week 38 build if that matters...

Any insight appreciated!

Im not sure which week is mine but it was built on September 2016. From past posts, this makes all the difference

Not id4_plus_plus, id5, and id5_plus_plus? Mine doesn't even show id4_plus.

Make sure you're using a recent ESYS and psdzdata.

Make sure you look in HMI_ID_VERSION. I find it by searching for "id6_light".

Thanks. My typo...

I do see id4_plus_plus and id5, but no ID6 lite or anything like it.

I'm using the Bimmercode app exclusively. I don't have ESYS.

I'd read that this was coming in an uptdate, but there have been two since, and no joy yet...

Is there a coding for morons cheat sheet that explains what all this does? There are some coding options that I'm not exactly sure what they do.

see post #263 by Dabozo, he has a couple of links that explain quite a few things.

You can't simply "code it on". You need to install a license just as you do with maps.

Would really like to see what options I have. I called BMW genius and they state my car can't get it. Saying that only September 2016 onwards will have the option to purchase. I have a July build which is a 2017 model with ID5, wireless charging etc

Ive called myself looking thru cheat sheets but I can't find an option for illuminating instrument panel during day or all the time. Is that possible?

Unfortunately no....

Just coded ID 6 lite and plan to keep it on there.

Anyone got Miracast to work?

I got miracast working the other day. Had to borrow an android phone as I haven't found an iOS app yet that will cast properly to our cars. Got it working with a Samsung Galaxy s7. Worked seamlessly. Probably the only thing I'm jealous about with android

Thanks for the confirmation. Looks like I'll have to root my Pixel.

Does it need to be rooted to mirror your phone to the iDrive screen?

Unfortunately it will never work on iOS unless you've hacked the device.

Won't work on Pixel. Even rooted with build.prop tweaks google disable it on 7.0+

hshot_rooke · 03-28-2017, 11:06 AM

I thought I saw earlier in the thread that someone had Android mirrored to the IDrive screen. Or was that another thread?

I read on another thread about s few possible apps that might make it work but so far no luck.

Ya...Apple shut most of those down pretty fast. With CarPlay being offered - and at $300 !!! - I'm not surprised.

Em-too · 03-28-2017, 07:43 PM

New version on App Store. Not exactly sure what the new coding features are tho. Would be nice to get a list of what's new.

It works with a bunch of Android phones, but not the Pixel.
