Hi, I did the full ID4 > ID6 conversion.

This is what you need for the best experience:
- ID6 Harman headunit coded to your VIN. There are multiple vendors on this board that can do it for you. I used Retrofitmybimmer (Rob)
- Wireless antenna. This gives you the fastest, most stable wireless CarPlay connection. While you could technically use Bluetooth, the connection is poor and bandwidth is too low for this to be viable
- Optional: upgrade your 8.8" screen to a touchscreen. This technically isn't necessary but it's a really nice functionality to add.
- iDrive controller: while technically optional this really should be upgraded to the LCI version to have correct button mappings

The coding to the iDrive unit can either be done remotely or by the vendor at time of purchase. I chose to have the vendor code it so that way when I got everything and brought it to a custom shop, everything was truly plug and play.

I can't recommend this upgrade enough. Let me know if you have questions.

Here's some common questions I had with answers:

Q: will ConnectedDrive still work?
A: Yes

Q: Will I still be able to use GPS for BMW navigation?
A: Yes

Q: Will I still be able to use SiriusXM?
A: Yes

The vendor will also code it to support video in motion and screen mirroring for Android.

It is literally OEM parts and now my 2016 M4 is fully 2020 spec when it comes to infotainment and iDrive.
