Umm I’m getting a 2017 or 2018 series 3 320 Idrive. I’m tryna get a wide body for the front bumper and back, can you tell what the parts are called and where can I get them for cheap?
Buy a Lenovo ThinkPad T430 or if you want a smaller one, an X240. Those are gread laptops for doing stuff like OBD2 diagnostics or ECU modding, plus they have a user replacable battery like the laptops from the good old days of portable computing. But remember to get the versions with a SSD and 8gb RAM. The CPU is kinda not that important, a i5 is great but everything bellow will be also fine, since you won't watch 4k movies or try to play some games on it
Hi, I have a late 2018 f30. Can I have Apple car play coded into it? Also I have the smaller screen do you have a link to the same screen you have in this car? Regards
Would I be able to do this with a 2011 535xi? All I have is Bluetooth tha navigation just shows me the map I can’t get directions or type in a address I’ve have this car for only 48hrs and I’m still learning things about the vehicle
The 2016 LCI version came with better hardware more ram etc hence the upgrade to ID6. Pre LCI (2016) can technically still retro fit CarPlay. However they will only be able to use CP. issues arise when you try to use native BMW maps. I’ve heard the hardware stutters etc and does not perform well. I’ve you’re only going to use CP, the pre 2016 hardware can (i believe) allow for this.
What is the range of the antena you got? On Bluetooth I can walk away from the car and the music will continue streaming from my phone, but when I’m on CarPlay it starts to break the stream when I get to the trunk or further away from the car(Like 2-3 steps)
Dope, im considering doing this. I dont mind bluetooth in my f30 but the past couple months its been so hit or miss constantly having to connect and reconnect my iphone. Thanks for the video bruh
Thanks for this video!! I had CarPlay coded on my car and was told that, since it works I don’t need the antenna because that must mean I already have it. But it’s been kinda dropping here and there. Clearly this video confirms that it will still works (like mine) without the antenna but that you should install it for it to work perfectly. Ordered my antenna!
Still under warranty and have a maintenance package, can a dealership do this software update? Or is this more an aftermarket backdoor type of update? Thanks!
I got a 2016 435i coupe and recently purchased M 19 inch by 9 wide staggered wheels for it. However, when we installed them, there is about an inch poke in the rear tires...can that be fixed or...how do you guys do it for yours to be flush with the body....Please help.
Haven't watched your channel in a bit, I saw the Supra. Then I see a white 340i. With a automatic?! What happened to you lol. I have the same car, just in blue. LOVE IT!
I want android auto in my e90, miss having it. Had it in my 18 Silverado, and the maps are great on road trips, since they can map around toll booths most of the time.
I learned the hard way I needed the wifi antenna lol used it frustratingly for 6 months it was in my glove box lol never installed lol 😆 soooooooooo much better lol with the antenna lol. and car play is definitely so much better mine is a 2018 F30
Hey John, I got a 2016 328i and it has the smaller screen and the older idrive system and I was wondering if I could get apple carplay coded into it even if it’s the smaller screen which is what I have.
I have a f30 320d with the small screen and no bluetooth in it. If i wouldve bought the wider screen with the carplay and all that, would i be able to connect my phone to the carplay and then get bluetooth? I hope you understand what im tryna say and hopefully an answer👍🏽 Great vid also haha
I have custom wheels. These 437ms are backups. If I paint them it will devalue them, so for a spare set I don’t think it makes sense. But I do love all black wheels
I have a 2011 BMW 328 Xdrive. It does not have the LED screen at all, and I love it that way. It has the beautiful, regular style round speedometer Gage, and regular looking radio (which is digital) Everything lights up this awesome Halloween orange at night. I would not trade it for anything.
Took me 8 months to figure out that I needed this antenna lol 😂 car play was working but spotty works great now. 2018 320xi doesn’t have full screen car play 😢
So wait…..with this small wireless mod you can have Apple Car play?!? What if I don’t have the F30 with the bigger screen like that will it still work?
There are zillions of "full-screen carplay" UA-cam videos like this but none answer the question of why BMW created the silly partial screen version in the first place or why given the obvious huge demand for full-screen CP they don't do it in an official update. Any thoughts?

Hi
I have a 2016 BMW M135i F20 with NBTevo_D edition,
I am looking to have full screen CarPlay.
How much?
I’m in South Africa!
in 15:11 it looks like you have carplay mmi installed under your NBT module)) maybe its already done that way by previous owner?
Oh wow, you are right, it looks exactly the same as my old CarPlay MMI box
Yeah you’re right he 100% has an MMI box already.
Looks awesome! Great news the antenna finally landed and one of the final pieces to the puzzle, thanks for working with us again!
Will this work on a 2015 bmw 335i f30?
I have to upgrade my 650i. Great info.
Will this work on a 2019 118i F20 ?

Thank you! I’ve been wanting to update mine. Great to see it in action before updating.
so this will not work for my 2015 335i with the newer updated screen like yours?
Hi I got a 2018bmw m sport and it doesn’t connect CarPlay , you believe it’s only the antena what I need to get ?
I have a 2015 F30. Do you know if this Apple Car Play conversion you did is feasible in a 2015 model?
Ik BMW shuns the android crowd, and you're an apple guy (I won't judge 😂) but any good options you know of for Android Auto??
😂
Do you have to be connected to wifi everytime you use the apple car play?
Can you use the car play wired with a lightning\usb cable or does it have to be wireless?

early LCi models still had iD5 and some US specs still had iD4
Great video as always, nice to see you have obtained apple car play, most definitely will be doing this for my BMW F32
Will it for work for 2013 F30? With big screen.
I ended up doing this as well. I'm going to end up getting that antenna you got. The one I got one off amazon acts craaazy when I'm using maps.
same here

The antenna goes behind the radio, you have to take the vents off and whatnot. I did it for my 2017 this past summer

Hey I have a 2014, 328i with the bigger 8inch screen. Will this work on my vehicle ?
Thanks for the video! I have a 2016 340i and I thought I would have to do a whole retrofit to get CarPlay (didn’t know I could just have it coded in)!
Let me know how it works if u do end up doing it. I want to upgrade my screen and add Apple CarPlay but the mmi alone costs like 800+
Still under warranty and have a maintenance package, can a dealership do this software update? Or is this more an aftermarket backdoor type of update? Thanks!
All over the place video was great. Nice tweak to your iDrive, but necessary.
Does this work on all 2016 340is? Or do you have to check VIN/etc for slight variances?
Which headlights are those? LCI? or aftermarket?

Hello, did you ever figure this out -2015 white 435i, (w/ m performance)fbo tuned to 480bhp with true straight pipe, red guts
Been waiting to do Apple car play, but I not sure if it’s worth it? I drive the car maybe twice a week, and when I do, I don’t really listen to music.
I think you will like the Advans. They need some heat, but they are good. Can't wait for the new wheels.
Is this safe to do because i have a bmw f20 and i’m thinking about doing it
I still need to know do I need to fit that antenna piece to have apple car play on my 2017 F30 or not?
You can decode your VIN to check
Haven't watched your channel in a bit, I saw the Supra. Then I see a white 340i. With a automatic?! What happened to you lol. I have the same car, just in blue. LOVE IT!
Is there any gloss black version of that spoiler that you have?

Neither 😉

You are 100% correct we only supply OEM shortened antenna's for this exact reason performance is flawless!

Does xHP shorten the lifespan/affect the longevity of the transmission?
Not really. In most cases it makes it better because XHP applies more clamping force which allows the clutches to not slip with more power.
Is this something available for the 2014 models too?
I didn’t know I could get it coded in!!! Thanks!!!
Did you have it in the M2?
Does it work on the 2013 (not facelift) F30/31 ?

have you made a video about programming bluetooth audio into the f30?
