Advice on adding in CarPlay via ConnectedDrive
I’m new to BMW and finding the options bewildering, so bear with me!
I’m looking at buying a G30, built in 2019 with iDrive 6. It has the comfort and M sport pro packs. So it has enhanced Bluetooth and Wi-Fi hotspot. The main dealer tells me it does not have CarPlay, and it is not possible to add it in. Is this true? My preference is to take the one time hit and pay £260 or whatever it is to get it activated via ConnectedDrive rather than start messing with coding (because I’m new to it and it seems daunting!) but it’s a real shame as the car otherwise looks great. I really am getting the impression that main dealers don’t understand the tech in the car. Or they are just playing dumb. But they certainly aren’t really explaining it. |

Does it have 'S6CP Preparation Apple CarPlay'? If so, I believe, and I'm married so I could very well be wrong, that all you would need to do is activate CarPlay on your phone. That's what I did.

No, unfortunately not. Just the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. I think BMW used to offer CarPlay as an online purchase option dependent on spec, but I’m struggling to understand if this one would be eligible.

Thanks. I may leave this car, as I don’t really want to be buying into something I immediately have to do DIY on. That’s a shame.

You'll find it. It took me two years to find the car I wanted. You'll have the time to enjoy it once you get it. Get the one you want. Best of luck 💪 |

Isn't this as simple as paying BMW $300 bucks to turn it on? I would avoid paying hackers to save a few bucks.
