This is great if true. I remember changing that value over a year ago before I actually had someone do the full screen for me and it did nothing. I'm assuming something changed on the latest firmware?

Yes sir! 100% true.

Previously you could change the Carplay_Fullscreen parameter to aktiv on firmware versions NBT_EVO_N or newer but it still required Patching.

However latest firmware NBTEVO_X now allows you to just simply change the Carplay_Fullscreen parameter to Aktiv and doesn't require Patching.

If you need any help , let us know , happy to assist

It only works if software is high enough (means NBTEVO_X or NBTEVO_Y).
Anything lower will end up in white screen and requires patching/firmware update.

So this works with Y as well? Just got my M3 and it has _Y(with some numbers and letters after it).

Just buying the OBD reader and using an app would be really convenient to get fullscreen working (why on earth it's not by default is weird, but whatever).

THANKS AGAIN GUYS!

Incredible shoutout to Rob Hebb and EasyBimmerCoding for making this happen! I was told 3 years ago (on this forum) I'd need new hardware to get CarPlay in my 2016 F80 (full screen was completely out of the question), but Rob and his team assured me they could make it happen. To say I'm stoked and beyond happy is an understatement! Decided to do two things…
1: Make a full detailed video outlining everything needed, including the steps from beginning to end.
2: Work with EBC, and pass along a 20% off code for fellow enthusiasts
Code: J1MM
If interested, check out the video here!
Enjoy!

Just did this upgrade, from iDrive 4 to iDrive 6 with bimmer-remote.com. Works like a charm. You just plug in your car to your laptop via OBD port and use TeamViewer to let them flash the update remotely. Takes about 1 hour. Apple CarPlay in full screen makes such a difference vs half screen. My car is a 2017 so I already had the wireless antenna and required no hardware upgrade. But that seems to be an easy fix as well if needed.

I also did the GTS flash (DCT, rear diff, steering and traction control). Recalibrates everything to M4 GTS specs. Just drove the car, I wish I had done this before. The most notable difference to me is in the transmission shifts. The car just feels more responsive. Definitely feels better than stock (zcp in my case).

Everything was very easy with clear instructions.

Big thanks to the guys at bimmer-remote for making this available and easy to do.
