Carplay Activation (fullscreen + for areas not supported)
Hello all,
I have a G20 M340i that's US spec, but I'm located in Korea. As such ConnectedDrive is disabled (along with CarPlay and maps and all that). I contacted kubax86 and he was able to set me up with fullscreen CarPlay - which is a godsend! It only took about 15 minutes or so to get working and it was seamless. It does require a windows computer with OBD2 connection to the car. This is a great option for those US spec cars in Germany, Korea, etc. or in countries without ConnectedDrive capability. Highly recommended! I think BMW Military / Diplomatic sales needs to include CarPlay with the car purchase, but this is the best option for sure! If you need CarPlay, do not hesitate to use Kubax86! PM him here on Bimmerpost! editing to add: For cars with telematics deactivated, it seems that maps through carplay just...Don't work well on iDrive7. It literally makes navigation apps unuseable. It doesn't matter what nav app you use, same situation, and it's the same situation for everyone I know with iDrive7 that doesn't have telematics updated. It seems that it can't pin to your actual location and it doesn't constantly update and freezes, so the app will constantly recalculate the route, and the map will literally bounce your location around 100 meters or more from where you are. I have a video of the screen just bouncing back and forth it makes navigation literally impossible. It hasn't worked ever, so I wonder if it's trying to rely on the car's GPS which is deactivated.

Need Help on 2021 X5 Apple Carplay
I am having the same issue here. I have 2021 X5 US Spec, and I would love to get my Apple Carplay to work here in Korea. How can I send PM to kubax86? I am still trying to get used to this site but can't quite figure out how to send PM to someone, so I am posting here.

I used @kubax86 and was VERY happy with my choice!
Kuba86 had quick response and provided VERY complete and simple directions on how to upgrade my 2018 BMW M5 F90 from split screen CarPlay to full screen CarPlay. I followed the directions and result was perfect! Thanks again kubax86!
