Activating CarPlay for my 2016 X3 (F25)

I know this has been likely discussed before, so I have done some research on the topic before posting.

Just got a 2016 BMW X3.
From what I understand it currently has the EVO iDrive 5.

QUESTION 1)
When I go to the ConnectedDrive website, it says I am not compatible for CarPlay. Is there a way to make my vehicle compatible so I may then purchase it?

QUESTION 2)
If there is no "BMW" way of installing CarPlay on my car, has anyone here had any experience with bimmer-unlock.com?

*The last thing I want to do is void my warranty, or mess up my car, but if it is a easy process, and there are people that have done it, I wouldn't mind having CarPlay as an additional feature.
**I do know that a CarPlay retrofit sometimes needs an additional Wi-Fi antenna.


Again, apologize if this has been gone in depth already. If there are great guides out there, then referring me to those is just as good. Thank you.
