Apple Car Play (Euro)
So, a friend of mine just bought a 2019 Q5 and his Apple Car Play works. I got Car Play for my M3 when I bought it last year but was told it cannot be used in Europe. Why does his work and not mine? Is there some update I need and it will work? Done some searches but it is not yielding much.

Because your CarPlay in M3 is based on Connected Drive activation, and since Connected Drive from USA will not work in Europe, CarPlay won’t work too.
This could be activated in different way, and it will work in USA and Europe. |

I am in the same boat as you, I have a US spec in Germany. PM kubax86 you idrive version and he can set you up. For me it was able to be done with a flash drive. I do not have connected drive working here. I am just worried when i get back to the states what will happen.

I do not think it messes it up for stateside use. You would have to ask Kuba about it. It is not that much to activate it and for me i found it is totally worth it. The touch screen works great. Also if you haven't tried to change the region for your radio you can get more radio stations also. I believe every coding can all be reversed before you return to ensure all state side functionality is there.
