For all those wanting full screen apple carplay...

domino_z · 12-10-2018, 06:32 PM

i just came across this on fb,

we finally got google earth, but bmw only formatted it to fill 2/3 of the screen

now it looks like we can have it full screen, coded via usb stick too

I want! How do I get?!

domino_z · 12-12-2018, 05:43 PM

It's only compatible with N and O software versions

Unfortunately I have H, maybe because I have factory carplay

daytonaviolet · 12-12-2018, 08:54 PM

i contacted these guys and they were saying " NBTEvo_N to NBTEvo_O"

i'm version J and i was told i can update to O and then use the full screen patch.

perhaps you can update as well?

Anyone try it yet? Can you toggle between full screen and split, after the change?

White340 · 12-16-2018, 04:52 PM

Is this something that is native to the bmw software or a hack?

domino_z · 12-16-2018, 07:01 PM

Thanks Nelson

Arranging to have Bimmertech remote code this for me

It's compatible with every version. Only difference is some versions can be updated via USB and some versions can only updated remotely.

Initially I thought the CarPlay widescreen patch was only for idrive firmware versions o-n. So your saying you can patch any versions?

What method is required for verison J ?

How are these guys enabling apple CarPlay to 2018 cars? I was told by Bmw it cannot be done (not that I believe BMW).

milk242 · 12-17-2018, 12:22 AM

at least on my iStep I have always seen the CARPLAY_FULLSCREEN parameter in CAFD and have toggled it with no success. I'm guessing BMW does allow it maybe during testing and somehow these guys have figured out the magic combination to get that working.

Actually, never mind it looks like they are patching FSC cert to accomplish this.

Have no clue how to do that, that's why the people who do charge money for it.

It's possible. Activated FullScreen Carplay just last week with "P" firmware.

daytonaviolet · 01-28-2019, 11:48 PM

The dealer updated my firmware to nbtevo_p for free and I got a patch from Nelson. It worked like a charm 😇
