Exactly why I opened this thread, to see who from Canada had this done and how did they go about it.

I have reached out to BMW Geniuses 3 times and the last time was to tell them Canada confirmed this was being done and their response was posted earlier here. They basically said it was not available at the moment.
They are "geniuses" after all...doesn't surprise me one bit.

The definitive word I got is that this feature is available to be retrofitted to all CDN and US cars built in the timeframe of July/August that didn't come factory enabled.

Yet nobody at BMW USA knows about this nor how to perform it, local dealer is clueless also.

Bimmerpost has more knowledge and information then some dealers smh..

You really need to stop posting "as fact" or making assumptions.

Do we have one confirmed Apple CarPlay that was enabled after the fact in CA or US?

EDIT: CommitConfirm (UK) posted that he purchased using iDrive.

It is a fact. We have several members that did it (but I assume you don't browse the Canadian thread).

There are US members here as well that have done it and others all around Europe.

So instead of questioning me, maybe send BMW NA a note about how they don't even know what they're selling.

OK, I read back through thread. Please correct me if this is incorrect.
  • Some in CA have purchased Apple CarPlay via BMW Connected Drive (CA), but have not posted any instructions or screens shots to help others? At least in this thread or cross posted to the information in the in the CA thread.
  • Some in xUS/xNA CA have purchased Apple CarPlay via BMW Connected Drive.
  • Some have paid a coder to enable the option but should their car get a future update it may wipe out the change.
  • El Ban has a MY2017, iDrive 5, lives in US and is still SOL, e.g. cannot purchase through BMW Connected Drive (US)

Did I miss anything?

I think in CA most of the upgrades for July/August cars were done at the dealer and not purchased via ConnectedDrive - I will send out a few messages and try to confirm this.

The rest sounds about right. As for El BAN, that is really, really weird. I wonder if he falls under the dealer category like the early CA cars?

No worries...BMW has been a shitshow when it comes to this, I'm glad we have the forums.

FYI, heard back from two guys, both had upgrade done at dealer. They are not sure what they did, both weren't there.

EDIT: should also add that, when they bought the car, they were told they'd need to return to dealer for upgrade, FWIW. I wonder if El BAN could get his upgrade done in Canada.

If you did not pay upfront, you can pay now and enable it.

After that, if you paid for it, it comes enabled from factory. You can still buy it later as well, or save yourself the money and just code it on.
I don't think you can code it as it Require the correct FSC to enable the feature. With he FSC you are SOL. Retrofit FSC is an option or purchase from BMW when they give BMWNA the option if they ever do.

FWIW I asked the delivery specialist at PCD, he said that I would be able to. Didn't get into the details on how though.

Apparently, CarPlay is now listed in the ConnectedDrive Store for USA. I bought CarPlay for $300 when I ordered my MY '17, so it came with it from the factory. The ConnectedDrive Store says I am "subscribed" to CarPlay for another 19 years.

Can anyone whose car did not come with CarPlay from the factory confirm if it's available for upgrade through the ConnectedDrive Store? Is the official retrofit now available?

Nope still not there. I checked both online and in the car.

I did not buy it for my car. August 2016 build and not available in connected drive store. I still don't get what the big deal with car play is. I have it in my other car and it sucks even with a touch screen. I wouldn't even pay a dollar for it. Free is all its worth to me and I'm an IPhone person.

I have 2017 and my car doesn't have car play. I logged in online and I was able to subscribe for 20 years.


I am yet to get in my car and see if the carplay is available -- will probably do it tomorrow.

Yes, looks like it is available at https://connecteddrive.bmwusa.com but wasn't back in February, see post #106

I purchased Apple CarPlay with the vehicle from the factory, 8/16 build.
