NOTE:
Your BMW is compatible with Apple CarPlay full-screen mode. Its activation will be included into the order for free by default. If you don’t want the full-screen mode, it won’t be coded on request during the coding session. Note that in MINIs with a rounded screen, a small part of each corner of the CarPlay interface will be obscured when using full-screen mode.

Note 1: If you select the the Install it for me option, you don't need to order the coding cable as the engineer will code the unit for you as part of the installation process. 

Note 2: We recommend adding the WiFi Antenna to your order as CarPlay won’t work without it.

If you are unsure about the suitability of this product please contact us via the Ask a question link with your Vehicle Registration Number (UK Only) or VIN.

Installation

 

BMW CarPlay is activated through a remote cable coding session. It is a very simple process that takes no more than 30 minutes. A coding cable will be required. if you don't have one, please add it to your order from the Add-on Options section at the top of the page. Once you receive it, you will be able to schedule a coding session for the time that suits you best. During the session, just plug in the cable, follow the instructions from our technician and CarPlay will be unlocked.

To prepare for your coding session you will need a laptop running Microsoft Windows and a WiFi internet network that you can connect to in your car. A Mac computer running Windows should work too. The coding cable must be plugged into your laptop’s Ethernet port.

Watch the video to understand the cable activation process better.

Note 1: If you select the the Install it for me option, you don't need to order the coding cable as the engineer will code the unit for you as part of the installation process. 

Note 2: It is very likely that you will require the WiFi Antenna.  Please add it to your order as CarPlay won’t work without it.

In case it is required to install the WiFi Antenna as well, the process will be quick and pretty straightforward.  See Video

We can also arrange for your Carplay Kit to be installed by our qualified and experienced Engineer at your home or work place at a time which suits you best (additional cost applies).  Please select the installation option from the recommended add-ons options above.   If you have any questions please contact us via the ask a question link at the top of this page and we will gladly assist you.
