Agree best wait until after running in service in case dealer gets weird, but Thomas is very helpful if you do have any problems and need to reinstall (he sorted my M2 after it was wiped when they replaced the HK amp under warranty and installed a software update that wiped my CarPlay). He always replies quickly on WhatsApp. I've had his CarPlay running in my X3MC since March with no issues at all. Full screen CarPlay, works great.

Looks awesome! I'm going to have to do this. Quick question though - why would BMW restrict this from the factory? Seems like a weird decision if the hardware can support it.

Did this also enable Video in Motion? Some installers say that full screen car play will enable it for free as a bonus. Not sure if it’s something they’re doing for free or if enabling full screen enables video in motion also. |

I have Bimmercode with a lightning to ethernet cable for my iPhone then connect my ENET cable to that. They have a wireless option but for coding or flashing I always want wired plus is much faster. Lightning to ethernet adapter i use: Lighting Ethernet Adapter Phone Ethernet Adapter Network Pad Ethernet RJ45 100Mbps by Enbia Grey https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VK8Q36S Here are the coding options for X4M using Bimmercode: https://bimmercode.app/cars/g02/

I don’t need VIM and already have CarPlay also just want the get the full screen mode. I wish bimmercode would do that. From what I ready there isn’t really much that bimmercode offers for the F98. At least not much that seems useful to me. |

Bimmercode can't do it because it's not just turning on an existing feature. It's modifying a part of the firmware something that isn't there - apparently it's changing a carplay.ini file for the resolution and maybe some other file.
I really like some features i coded. No warning on cam or idrive One short press close tailgate No honking when car is running and locking No mirror tilt on reverse No delay for rolling down windows using keyfob or comfort access. Shortened lock sound And custom "M" interior lights. Top led is red and bottom cyan-blue.

Had full screen CarPlay installed today, maps and Apple Music looks much better in full screen. Also had the amber removed from headlights and anti dazzle headlights activated thanks to Steven at codemybimmer.ca . Was not able to do either of those through bimmercode.

Used Windows 10 on MacBook Pro using Bootcamp to load Windows. Had an issue at first with Ethernet being recognised on Windows but soon fixed by updating iCloud for Windows. Full screen apple car play has made such a huge difference and genuinely want to use it now. Wasn't sure before. |

I got my cables today and did the full screen CarPlay that sd306 wrote about. Everything went super smoothly and only took 2 minutes at most.
The only thing was that I never received the file link Email and had to start a chat from the website and then they sent it. Waited 4 hours before I wrote them about the file. Soooo happy now about the full screen CarPlay. Waze and google maps looks great. |

I’m on the fence on doing this. With the non-full screen I can put Waze up and split screen in audio info. Where the home screen (AirPlay) shows a map, audio info and quick pick icons, is there a way for the map to be waze?
Otherwise waze would take whole screen? Anyone else having the same hesitation? |

It doesn't it's a mod. You can read my post about how to do it.
