CarPlay is now a subscription service isn’t it? Like connected drive you pay for it annually so I don’t think it can be coded in but I’m not too sure.
It has went 3 years subscription on new cars, I suspect it can be coded on these cars aswell but I doubt anyone has tried until the subscription expires. If the X6 has the subscription option he would have been able to activate in the portal. It looks like for it to be added under the subscription system after the car is built the car needs to have enhanced bluetooth
I don't think it is worth it as BMW haven't implemented it aswell as Mercedes, VAG or JLR where the Carplay screen can scale to the full screen or even split screen over the two displays in the new Land Rovers. It is stuck to 2/3rds of the display which limits the size of Google Maps or Waze, I think the standard iDrive with wireless Spotify app integration and standard NAV is better but if you could get full screen Waze with the directions arrows in the HUD/cluster that would be great.
Looks like modified software is available for iDrive that enables full screen Carplay makes you wonder why BMW don't offer it.
