Wireless CarPlay Activation - wifi antenna question
Sorry if this has been asked already….
I have a 2017 G30 if I purchase one of those USB CarPlay activations online will it work if I don't have the apple car play preparation package? Does it need the wifi antenna in the car to connect to CarPlay?! Don't want to waste money paying for it and it doesn't work. Thanks for the help!

I got mine from Ebay for about £10 a few years back, something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bluetooth....m46890.l49286

A few tips, use hand tools. Using powered screwdrivers doesn't allow you to feel what you're doing. Often, screws get cross threaded or plastic gets cracked using these powered tools. No need to remove the lcd screen for what you want to do. Buy yourself a set of plastic trim removal tools. Plenty of good options on Amazon, etc.

Hi,
I have a 2017 G31 and need to install a wifi antenna. Is there anyway to check if my head unit has a wifi connection before I take the car apart as shown in the posted videos? Thanks in advance! |
