I then asked:

"If in a future service, my dealer decides to update my iDrive software to whatever version is the latest available, will I lose the patch and full screen?"

They answered:

"Yes, if you apply a newer iDrive update to the one we will install for you in order to get CarPlay working in full screen, you will lose that functionality."

So I decided not to go ahead with that, if my dealer can ensure I get it with their update I will eventually opt for that, the cost is essentially the same £199 on both solutions, the difference is that the one I am sure to do what I want, is eventually not permanent.



Thanks guys, if anyone has more info please share.
