I ended up purchasing the service through an eBay seller for $35; received a BIN file to load on the USB drive and a few minutes later I had full screen CarPlay. The only thing I noticed is that the icons aren't perfectly square now (slightly taller than they are wide) while iOS icons are normally 1:1 ratio. Seems that whatever change was made doesn't quite map the screen resolution pixel to pixel. Anyone else notice this too?

Complain to dealer that your phone keeps dropping out of Bluetooth sync with the car. They should do a update to the NBT version. If they don't go back two weeks later and complain again. They'll likely do it then just to shut up up. At least that's what happened for me |

Can someone else with this mod confirm whether you have true square icons? My OCD is killing me. My theory is that the screen resolution width is just shy of supporting the 5x2 icon layout which is why BMW never made it an option. With iOS 13, support is added for non-standard resolutions but with my beta 1 device it still behaves the same; most likely requires a programming update to interact with the new API.

It also happened with iOS 12. I figured I would load my personal device with iOS 13 since the release notes mentioned supporting irregular screen sizes, but it sounds like that will require changes by BMW on the headunit.

I missed that. I sure hope BMW does not have to make any changes. That simply may not happen!

It's a one time fee of $300 to activate it. No monthly recurring fee.

Apple car play??
Can I activate car play in a car that doesn't have the apple car play preperation option?
I think I have the comfort and plus pack on the car. I'd like to be able to use this as its got some decent features for work that would make my life easier. |

Don't all M2C come with Apple Carplay included (at least for a year)?

I personally tried this Bimmer Unlock and they were fantastic. https://bimmer-unlock.com/collection...sb-full-screen My firmware was updated and had to go with a remote coding with them... very easy, but I had to secure an OBD2 cable. Here are some pics:
