Yup currently working with kunax86 now. We’re just in different time zones. Don’t hesitate to use him! We connected remotely and watched him work, my friend is a coder for a living and was definitely impressed!!

Guys - seriously - don't hesitate AT ALL to use kunax86. My situation was a quite complicated issue, as I am a US specification car outside of the US, and while it took a little while to get my problems resolved (VPC blocked many functions before delivery) he was able to work them all out without any issues. I am beyond impressed. Better yet, he's extremely responsive and is easy to work with even though he's in a different time zone.

In fact, I'm going to be using him again next week to change the geo-location on my idrive as well as get my local maps to work. I've been waiting 2 years for this as BMW wasn't any help, so to say I'm excited is an understatement!

For those people who don't have wifi in their car, how have you found the connection to carplay like via Bluetooth?

Seems my car was a little more complicated for whatever reason.

I hadn't even activated Car Play to begin with. So when i contacted kubax86 he replied immediately. After a couple failed attempts, he offered to remotely login through my laptop and diagnose the issue.

Ten minutes later, i have the full screen apple car play enabled and its awesome.

Thanks again kubax86

Excellent service. So happy with the car now.

US Spec BMW using Apple Carplay in Germany

US Spec BMW using Apple Carplay in Germany -
I noticed above that someone was apple to use their apple carplay on their US Spec BMW in Germany, how do you enable this? I was informed that the bmw-connected setup would need to be activated and in use in the states in order to use carplay? If anyone knows otherwise, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I don't know if this common knowledge as I didn't see much talk about this but I have a RHD car and the Apple menu was on the left which is a bit stupid. After full screen activation my menu is now on the right which is awesome. I have seen a few vids of RHD with the menu still on the left.

Just putting it out there as it appears u have a choice.

I assume doing the full screen mod will void the warranty on the head unit?

I have a BMW X3 2018, but my software version is originally NBTevo_M - which means that I have to flash an update in order to be able to activate full screen Car Play, is that correct?

kubax86 can you help me with this process?

It is not a wireless charger but wireless convection oven.

Known issue.
