We have a US Spec 2018 X5 in Germany (European Navigation) and are having trouble getting Apple Car Play to work. Can anyone help?

I managed to launch the Apple Car on the BMW X5 from 11/2017 using the iPad and the "BimmerCode" application.

The Apple Car Play option is not listed in the IDrive even though it is supposed to be equipped with it. The German BMW dealership says that it is because it is a US spec in Germany.

AFAIK, Apple Carplay needs to be bought (unlocked) from the Connected Drive Portal. What you see in the car specs is the Preparation Package for Carplay. Also, make sure you have Siri activated on your iPhone.
