- will it cause any diagnostic issues at the dealer etc, is it a good idea all in all?
Based on the information from this thread:

- If you get the NA ATM unit and get certain software version, all services will work. EDIT:You don't need ATM unit if you have ID4, I am in NA so 2014-2016 we got NBT units which don't have ATM.
-Lots of these listings selling NBT head units already get them with CarPlay activated (just did the ebay search)
- I don't think BMW offered wireless CarPlay but I don't know for sure
- It might cause issues if dealer needs to perform software update. How good or bad of an idea it is-that one is up to you. If you are out of warranty and don't mind some DIY projects might be a decent option to try.
