coding

hello all,

i purchased a used 2017 x4m40i that HAD apple carplay but the iDrive maps were still factory from a version in 2016. i wanted those updated so i asked the dealership to do this for me. unfortunately in this process they crashed the head unit and basically had to reset everything back to factory; now apple carplay is gone and the map/software version is even older than it was when i bought it. they're telling me they opened a case with BMW on this but i'm not optimistic that'll get me anywhere so i'm looking into doing this myself.

i purchased this enet cable from amazon below and i'm diving into this but running into issues. basically i want carplay back, updated system maps, and i want to turn on/off some of those coding options that appear available to me.

for e-sys, i'm using the following link and i'm stuck on the "setup est token". its saying there should be 2 folders "patch" and "tokengenerator" but that is not the case.

has anyone out there done this before? i did try the search function but it seems everyone here just knows how to do this and i could use some help

thanks!
