Assuming one could decrypt and mount this container would there simply be a carplay.ini file there that needs to be edited for resolution changes? I suspect that when BMW pushes an update they just overwrite the container with a new one which would explain why another fullscreen update is required. If anyone has any experience working with ECU / FSC binary files please PM me. I'm curious more than anything at this point.
I'm curious about this as well.
