Help with Upgrades
Hey, I'm a first time BMW over as of a couple of months ago and interested in upgrading the firmware, idrive, etc. None of that appears to have been done since the factory. Not sure where to start, but i have purchased Bimmercode and adjusted several internal things within the car. Where do i need to start and how much can i do on my own? Went to BMW upgrades and it said i could download something, firmware i suppose, to a USB, but is that where i should start.
This is a '15 BMW M4 NBTevo_16202A MB-101.052.004 TB-101.052.004 What else would be helpful to know? TT |

Beyond that if you want to update the actual idrive to have CarPlay or other newer functions there are head unit and screen replacements available many places. If you just want to add CarPlay, a less expensive option is one of the pass through boxes(not the exact name, can't think of the technical term). These will give you CarPlay that you control through the idrive controller. |

Do you plan to tune the car?
Updating the software to newest can lock that out. I suggest you ping our guru kubax86 to ask his advice. He offers a remote update service to get you Apple CarPlay in full-screen (and Android screen mirror), and adding a software update is also available. His pricing is great, and his work is top quality. He doesn't break your warranty either, real OEM SW.
