EBAY Carplay Activation

Anyone have any experience with them? Seems like a decent price for ~$40.

Apparently all i need is to install a wifi antenna and an ENET cable.

I had a pretty great experience doing this years ago, but my X3 already had the wifi antenna and I was able to install it by plugging in a USB flash drive, no ENET cable required.

My experience differs but long story short: it's not a gimmick, it actually works.

Just have to make sure you provide them with your NBTEvo version and sometimes Maps version. You may also face issues down the road if you ever take the car into dealership and they try to push some software updates.
