Remember the whole (F Series) BMW / Apple CarPlay fiasco? Well to avoid paying the $300 fee, I found some alternatives. There's a free way to do it, but I think this is probably the best middle of the road solution where you save money, but don't have to get overly technical with BMW coding tools.

A few things to note:
- you need a Windows laptop to do this but, if you absolutely have no choice, you can always use BootCamp on Mac

- after installation, if re-pairing your phone to the car doesn't work, try restarting the head unit (hold in the volume button for 10 seconds or so). When I removed my device to re-film the pairing section, it didn't sync up as easily and took a few tries.

- I haven't tested this, but supposedly after you install CarPlay with this method, you won't be able to use BimmerCode on the head unit again. This only seems to affect BimmerCode (E-SYS still works) and you can use BimmerCode on any other module so, if using BC, do any coding before the CarPlay installation

- the activation code you get is good for life so if, for any reason, the head unit gets flashed back to factory and you lose CarPlay, you can just re-run the install.

- make sure your car is compatible: VIN Check: [ Ссылка ]
