CarPlay on '18 X5
Hey all,
New here also- 2018 x5 35i. Any advice on CarPlay intergration? I got a quote for a unit install 1k +, then heard I can just get it coded/activated for $200-300. FYI also - Navigation also just continues to load and never opens. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance |

you can get FSC enabling code, hardware is already there.

Have you tried resetting it? Hold down volume button for 30 seconds until it reboots IIRC. I've been X5 less for a bit so my memory is fuzzy

I used BIMMER-REMOTE.com. He was pretty good. Remoted in and did all the work.

You have the hardware, activate through ConnectedDrive for $300 then have Bimmer Remote enable full screen for $50. That’s what I did back in 2020.

Hey all,
I was able to get it coded just like the suggestions here for 250 (including the needed antenna). Ps. Navigation icon now says “connect usb and activate with code “ Still have to figure that out, but shouldn’t be a deal breaker since I use CarPlay directions. Thanks again. |

He can definitely get you sorted out. You simply need the OBDII cable connecting to a laptop running Windows. |

Hey guys, looks like this post has everything I needed to know.
Can someone please confirm if VIN: 5UXKR6C58J0U14684 has the necessary hardware to enable CarPlay? This car doesn’t have 6CP (CarPlay preparation option). Background: I am thinking of buying this car from a dealer (it’s 2018 X5 50i) but not having CarPlay is a deal breaker and wondering if it can be enabled without addding additional hardware. Appreciate your help. |

Here's my ques- I can see CarPlay option for $300 available in BMW idrive connect store. I see that kubax86 offers CarPlay for $60 https://bimmer-remote.com/products/b...een-activation My ques is what's the difference between these two option beside cost? Is factory option better in terms on reliability or kubax86 option reset some factory settings. Based on the cost, it's no brainer but want to see the other side of it.
