Hi Kuba, Hoping you could help or point me in the right direction. I am in Australia and have a 2019 x3 with NBTevo_Q. I just purchased the Apple CarPlay via the bmw store hoping it would be full screen but that was not the case. What are my options for getting full screen ?

Thanks

Another 5-star review for @kubax86. I enlisted his help to code a retrofitted NBT EVO and touch screen with full screen CarPlay into my pre-LCI car this morning. Initially my OABR connection was no good, so he gave me some things to check. Turns out I needed to re-pin my Chinese eBay cable. I hit him up again, we got back on the session and he was done in 15 mins max. Everything works, no issues so far. Overall experience was great, would highly recommend him if you are looking for CarPlay or other coding work!

Hi Kubax86,

I have NBTevo_P183621 on a 540 - would you be able to help? Looking forward to hopefully getting mine updated with your help.

Hi,
I have just joined the forums and noticed you were helping people who wanted Apple CarPlay in full screen.

I have a 2017 F80 M3 Competition LCI Update

Is this something I can do by updating my iDrive software to a newer version. My current version details are 005.012.001.

Many thanks - Paul

The car already does have wireless CarPlay, but sadly only in split screen mode.

-> Navigation: Road Map EUROPE Way 2021-2 P2021B1R

Question: do you think it would it be possible to upgrade CarPlay to fullscreen?

Thanks!

Yes, possible.
Send me VIN to info@bimmer-remote.com

HI kubax86

I just upgraded to carplay full screen and everything worked smoothly. However my car is right hand drive, and the sidebar of carplay is on the right when it should be on the left.

This orientation is very hard to get used to and limiting my usage.

Is it possible to revert this for a right hand drive car?

Thank you

Yes, sure not a problem. If you bought from me simply message me to my email.

Hi mate, looking at activating apple carplay in my bmw x3 it is not activated.

I am hoping to get it in full screen as well.

This is my VIN: WBATR92080LC84481

Will I need to do firmware update before hand or I can just activate it and get full screen.


Is that something you can help me with?

I really appreciate your help. Thank you

Full Screen CarPlay

1) Upgrade software on HU to latest version and you can do this ISTA or go to BMW and they will do this for you. There use to be a hack/patch but some had issues when then upgrading the NBT software.

2) If you have the latest software easiest was is to use Bimmercode and just select full screen CarPlay in the HU option.

Hi, new to the forum. I took my BMW 330e 2017 F30 into BMW as the amplifier had blown, as there was no sound from the stereo. They fixed it as I have the extended BMW warranty. However, they reset everything, and CarPlay was removed, they informed it was retrofitted, so I have to get it done privately, and they will refund the money..... a little bizarre if you ask me.

So I've been searching the internet and decided to purchase the code from Bimmer-remote. I purchased the ENET cable, and I have a few Windows laptops for me to do the work. However, after trying different versions of the Feature Installer software, 3 different laptops, 4 different internet connections, and resetting the stereo by pressing the power button for 30 seconds...... nothing works.

The software connects to the car, I enter the code that was provided, it connects the cloud server, but then get the message "Failed to read from the head unit".... see attached

I have ID5 system and the version is NBTevo_Y

Support has really been great, they told me to try another ENET cable.

Can this be done using a USB stick or an alternative method?

Can anyone help me, please?

Hey, actually, trying to resolve your issue for the past few days - nothing else other than trying other ENET will not help. USB isn’t an option.
As we spoke your PC doesn’t communicate correctly with headunit (ping of the headunit IP does not work).

[TeekXX]

Hey guys, I got it working. I purchased a new ENET cable, and tried the process again using the Feature Installer version 1.0.14.9 (64bit) on Windows 10 Pro. However, this time after clicking "Identify", and whilst it was connecting to the Cloud Server, I opened up the command prompt (cmd), and typed in the following "ping 169.254.199.99 -t" the '-t' on the end continually pings the head unit, so I knew that there was a connection. I put in the code provided, and the Feature Installer started talking to the head unit, downloaded the necessary stuff from the Cloud Services and started flashing the unit. It didn't take long, probably around 3 minutes, then it told me "Exit". The display did flash a few times.

After that, I disconnected the ENET cable from the car, and pressed the stereo power button for 30 to 40 seconds, until it came back on, then let go. I navigated to "Manage Mobile Devices", and selected CarPlay and paired it with my iPhone.

Happy days

I went back to the car about an hour later to check, and it's working fine.
