Full Screen Carplay - Coding Services Offered?
I am looking to do the full screen carplay on my 2019 G30 but can't find anyone who does it other than eBay.
OEM Navigations website has been down for 3 months, the forum users where I saw suggested names in various threads all have full PM inboxes so you can't message them and the only other sites I found while searching the web want hundreds but don't come off as reputable. So thought I would start a thread to see if anyone could point me and other visitors of this thread in the right direction. |

It's not just programming changes. The CarPlay.ini file on the head unit has to be modified for the new icon size and icon spacing. BimmerCode can't do that part - even in expert mode. I've tried that setting in the past and it does nothing. The appropriate changes have to be made to the file system on the head unit. |

In other news, if you let BMW upgrade your firmware you will have to recode everything for most of the modules. |

Thanks - I am on EVO_S as I did do the recall notice while in for service last week.
good know it's not ready - I'll wait on that until we hear more, thanks. I was also looking to possible do some other work like Anti-dazzle, so didn't know if anyone does that coding plus the carplay both. Appears OEM Nav only does the carplay. |

As far as the anti-dazzle, that shouldn't be affected because that's not controlled by the head unit that is part of the backup camera recall. |

Update: OEM Navigations told me that they have widescreen CarPlay working with EVO version S now. I'll let you know in about 30 min!

VirtualGuitars - Do you have contact information for OEM Navigations? their website doesn't work for contacting them or ordering.

https://oemnavigation.ga **************@gmail.com Please tell him I sent you. I told them I'd give them a few plugs on this forum for their services. Update: for some reason the forum is blocking the email address. It is OEM Navigations (plural) at the domain name listed above. |

Just wanted to share I did the CarPlay Fullscreen coding through OEM Navigations today. Fast responses and support on the few questions I had. Install was smooth and fast.
I haven't had time to play more than a few minutes and will share more when I get some drive time this week. |

I'm on evo_Pxx and looking to buy the Carplay fullscreen coding but should I update to S first? Or is the recall only in the US and not EU?

Upgrade to S first. If you have widescreen CarPlay now, it will be removed. You'll have to reapply it afterwards.

Is this the best way to get Apple CarPlay working? I bought a vgate icar pro and bimmercode but not seeing the options to enable it.
Also, I was told by another code that I needed to buy (and install) a Wifi aerial...which I’m not keen on doing tbh. Anyone point me in the right direction with this? |
