2016 X6 & Apple Carplay

I'm looking at a 2016, it has a lot of what I want EXCEPT the HK sound and Apple Carplay.

I know Biimertech has an upgrade to add both Apple Carplay and upgraded sound, do you guys know if it will work on any 2016 or does there need to be a particular version of hardware for it to work- or any other requirements?

Thanks, looking to purchase the X today if I can solve this!

You can upgrade audio for all years of F16 X6 models.

A wireless carplay module can be added for less than $300.

Which Carplay module are you referring to?

Also, do any of them come with the voice text feature?

X6 2016 should have NBT EVO as standard, so you can activate OEM Carplay as soon as you install the wifi antenna...

Does that mean the 2016 can or cannot be fitted with the CarPlay unit?

You can go with aftermarket box. Works very nicely just like OEM one..
