CarPlay not working

7smurfs · 05-18-2021, 03:49 AM

Got my free activation from easybimmercoding, unfortunately though my phone won't connect to the carplay via bluetooth.

Does this generally mean I need to get a Wi-Fi module?

My car is a 2018 M3 CS, so had thought that a wifi antenna was already preinstalled on our cars?

Not every M3CS has WIFI antenna pre installed.
Send me your VIN to my PM, I'll check if you have antenna already installed.

A WiFi antenna is factory installed only if you paid for the WiFi Hotspot option.

Not only WiFi hotspot...
Send me your VIN, I'll determine if you have it or not.

Thanks managed to sort it out! Looks like my car did have wifi hotspot but just needed to manually go into my phone and connect to it first!
