How do you know if you have WiFi antenna?

NBTEVO iDrive 4 doesn't have antenna.
If you're on iDrive 5/6 from factory and you have 6NS or 6WD or 6CP or 6NW then you have an antenna.

RTTI, Connected Drive all will work as before (you need to have active subscription though). CarPlay doesn't integrate to the HUD (it doesn't integrate on native iDrive 5/6 too).

Ok perfect, lets say the subscription lapses and the person with the upgraded system needs to reactive the subscription will that still be ok or will the subscription need to continue with no breaks ever?

Yes, still be okay. You can renew it whenever you want.

This is awesome. I was literally about to drop some serious money on the full hardware upgrade. I hate fingerprints on the screen so I'm okay without the touchscreen. Now how about the resolution? I thought ID5/6 uses a higher res screen? Also will the M Logo come up on startup like it does now? Will I be able to use BimmerCode in the future to change simple coding. I'm seriously so excited right now haha.

M logo will come as it was before. You won't be able to code Headunit after this kind of modification but while we work on your car we can code whatever you need in your headunit so you don't have to do it ever again.

Jumping in to share my experience with the ID4 to ID6 flash for my 2016 M3. I reached out to kubax86 to get more information since I was a bit hesitant like OP, but this is definitely the route to go if you don't want to spend the money to replace the whole head unit.
The whole flashing process was super quick, not including the 40ish minutes it took to install the wifi antenna (which is pretty straightforward and took a bit longer than I expected since the trim removal could be a bit tricky if you've never done it before). For those interested, I used a Noco Genius10 during the process and had no issues. Everything runs super smooth and much better than I expected! All the steering wheel buttons work as they did previously and I didn't notice any issues using them with CarPlay. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any "feature" related questions and I'll try my best to answer them. I highly recommend reaching out to him if you're interested. He's super responsive and an awesome dude to work with! |

I'm not familiar with CarPlay. Why is a Wifi antenna needed?

CarPlay works wireless only - it is for stable connection.

had the install performed yesterday. Such a massive improvement. Easily the best $$ I've spent upgrading the car.

Other than the cost and the time it takes to install the WiFi antenna, there are no downsides I can think of. Some people report that there is lagging with the low amount of RAM, but I have a 7/2015 production 2016 M4 and it works perfectly in CarPlay. Reverse camera works, M buttons, Voice controls. I only really use CarPlay along with the vehicle service section so I haven't looked at all menus. But yeah, it's the real deal, this is a needed mod/update for sure.

Equally snappy / responsive, no difference in quality, processing time, call or audio quality. Five stars, would do again, even recommended it to my 67 y/o parents.
