For me, CarPlay = Google Maps. I don't intend to use it for anything else.

Would you mind how you worked this out?
Does anyone know the answer to this question? When we buy Apple Carplay with the car, do BMW fit a new hardware to the iDrive OR it is just a software unlocking that they provide? If just software, anyone know the Australian pricing to activate the Carplay after the vehicle delivery as HFW suggested? |

This is just how it is I'm afraid. Sometimes you're lucky with little updates and timing and sometimes not.

I believe there are hacks people do to get carplay to go full screen, and honestly it's something i'm probably going to look into, because it bugs the crap out of me having such a tiny map. But the BMW navigation can be kind of bad sometimes as well, so it's not really a good replacement for google maps. |

Guys, don't sweat the CarPlay price BMW charge(d).
I just bought a car where it is "free" to use.... but cost £2,400 as an option! (That's about $3,000) |

Go to the ConnectedDrive folder...do not open it, select the option button on the console, go back to iDrive and scroll down to update.

Yes, go to ConnectedDrive tile on the main drive screen, open and go to ConnectedDrive Store illustrated below, do not open but select the Option button on the center console. Update BMW Assist will appear on the screen. Be sure to wait for the transfer to complete before selecting OK. Lock the car and wait 15 minutes as stated in my previous reply. Hope this helps...

Updated connected drive last night. Says you now have to go to the Web version and the apple play purchase option was gone on the car screen. Still $300 on web connected drive page when I log in. I contacted BMW and they said they have to get back to me. I’ve got a 2017.

I contacted BMW Canada - they informed me that the changes will "be rolling out soon, and available in early 2020"
That's great news, but really, it's quite astounding that BMW would even consider implementing a charge for it!

kubax86 Super easy process to get full screen Carplay enabled!
The hardest part was finding the right driver for my USB to Ethernet adapter but once I figured that out - the rest was super straightfoward. |

"Or I could just voice control my Pixel instead of relying on crappy Siri and sad Apple Maps."
You should know that Apple Maps does permit other mapping apps such as Waze, Google maps etc. I know there are a lot of Apple haters out there, but each unto their own. BTW - I just read somewhere that BMW will be supporting Android Auto in 2020.
