Thomas from OEM Navigations was incredibly helpful answering all questions on WhatsApp and I received my activation code the moment payment was confirmed using PayPal in GBP.

Installing the update was a cinch but there are some basic requirements:
  • Windows laptop with a good Wifi internet connection
  • ENET cable

Get everything booted up, make sure the laptop is charged, and connect up the cables.

Start the app provided by OEM Navigation, enter the activation code, and follow the instructions.
  • Tap "Find vehicle"
  • When your VIN is displayed, tap "Identify" and this will connect online and verify your NBT
  • When that's complete, hit "Start" and wait 10 minutes....

Be patient, and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING on your laptop! Until you see the message "Process complete: Success", the coding is not complete.

So what are the results?

After:

And the verdict? A little early to tell as I've not even taken a drive yet, but iOS 13 is most definitely designed for fullscreen CarPlay. Without it, the display is cramped and cluttered.

I hope this helps anyone looking for a fast, safe and efficient solution to full screen CarPlay.

Finally, a big thank you to Thomas for answering all my questions. Highly recommended!

To find them, Google "**************".

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated in any way with OEM Navigations. I found their service on Google after hunting around for a reliable coding service to provide me with full screen CarPlay.
Luckily I already own the ENET cable. I like that it can be reused on the same vehicle and that it doesn't require remote programming. Thanks for posting.
