Wow, full screen Waze! So handy, I use it to sniff out cops that's close by..
Today is officially the first time I'm actually envious that I don't have CarPlay! Used it in a rental CTS and wasn't impressed at all but now with this new full screen hack, it's finally showing promise.. Great job, Wibbles! |

Version P does not activate out of the box. To check if you can activate: Go to the map screen, press the options button on the idrive controller, select Navigation Settings > Position and Version > Version Information If it says NBTevo_N or O + some numbers, for example NBTevo_O18153l - then i can help you, if it says a letter less than N I can't help unless you get the headunit updated, I can assist with how to do that. If it says P then I'm not able to assist. Hope that clarifies for anyone looking to activate.

Does this also make screen mirroring full screen?
Does it affect any other functions in iDrive or just CarPlay? Also is the USB coded to both enable and disable the functionality? Or just one way? Kudos for working out what is required

There's more than just how complicated the upgrade is. For example, will I be able to undo it should I need to bring my car in to the dealer for service? Will the alter any other software programming in the car, like engine, transmission, etc? |

Nothing else is affected, none of the custom coding I did via Bimmerlink/Bimmercode was changed. Everything is perfect, with full screen CarPlay |

wibbles so sounds like you have some sort of software package that enables this. What exactly does your software do to the car? I think the rest of us would prefer to have details on what exactly is being done to the car. |

I don't blame him, he designed the workaround and deserve to reap the benefits of it.. Until someone reverse-engineers it and begin selling their own patch.. And someone will.. I'm sure the first person that cracked the N55/S55 ECU firewall felt like they struck gold but it doesn't matter now because every tuner is profiting from it.. If you don't feel comfortable buying it due to fear of the unknown, that's your prerogative but don't expect him to share his trade secrets.. |

I'm sure he just re-wrote the coding, just like what Bimmercode does.. BMW just limited the screen size, due to safety reasons.. I.e it's safe and undetectable, unless you admit you made software changes.. |

wibbles does the software enable car play that don't have it enabled? or just increases the screen size? My car is arriving in two weeks, would love to enable car play from the start.

I haven't confirmed it yet but word is it incorporates the full screen CarPlay now from the factory.. But don't quote me on that.. It might still be screen-limited in US, due to our stringent regulations and idiot distracted drivers.. https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/...iption-service |

Guys it works and I couldnt be happier!
Thanks wibbles! Super quick and easy, not even 5 minutes! The hardest part was to find a USB stick with max 8gb |

In Portugal Apple CarPlay isn’t offered as an option (when configuring the M2C or via ConnectedDrive Store) so Wibbles solution would be heaven-sent... specially with its full screen bonus! Last edited by Abrunho; 12-06-2018 at 09:17 AM.. |
