- CarPlay activation is also possible for units without BMW navigation function.

- CarPlay activation requires: Firmware version “H” at least and NBT2 EVO head unit with WIFI port.

Detailed instructions will be provided via email after purchase. 

Apple CarPlay requires:

– EVO ID5-ID6 / EntryNav2 professional navigation system.

- WIFI antenna.

– Minimum firmware version “H”.

Activation by USB or ENET Cable?

USB activation.

Activation of CarPlay via USB file is only possible in firmware version “H” to “O”.

ENET Cable Activation.

Activation of CarPlay via an OBD-ENET cable is possible on all firmware versions.

For firmware versions “P” to “Y” there is no option and ENET activation is the only option.

CarPlay activation requires at least firmware version “H”.

Full screen or split screen.

Firmware versions "H" to "M" support CarPlay in the original “split screen” view. This uses 3/4 of the screen. Full screen display is supported on firmware versions "N" to "Y". A firmware version earlier than “H” does not support CarPlay in the software. To do this, a firmware update must first be performed.

Check for ID5/ID6 firmware update here. 

- You need to have a Wifi Antenna. Your phone must connect without any cable to CarPlay. If you do not have a Wifi antenna you must buy it before or after the update.
