I purchased an Apple play kit from Naviplus in Australia for my 2015 F16 with ID4. Will be installing it soon.

I think ID5/ID6 is possible to have it enabled.

I do not think it is possible to do this in a 2015 F15, you need hardware to do it.

You can buy an Apple Carplay interface in China as I did and make it work flawlessly on a non touchscreen iDrive screen
My F15 is a 2016 and works perfectly every time in full screen

You have basically 5 choices for a NBT ID4 retrofit. There may be others, but these quickly come to mind. They all have pros & cons. You decide what fits your budget & preferences. Personally, I like #2, but it's not quite ready for sale yet...

1. Unichip Carplay Retrofit

2. Unique Auto Developments

3. Bimmer-Tech CarPlay MMI

4. Bimmer-Tech NBT Evo Retrofit

5. Naviplus

Everything works as factory, you access the Carplay interface pushing the #8 memory button as an Aux

I was scanning the boards when I saw your post and had to pose this question: what did you LVDS cable harness from Unichip come in? I ask because I bought this unit for my E70 and cannot get it to work properly; suspecting that the wiring harnesses they sent me were for either a CCC equipped E70 or an F15 model.

PM me and I can explain further.

Before buying, they asked me for my VIN # in order to be sure what to ship, I'm not an expert, so I don't have any knowledge about the type of wire harness I got from Unichip, my car is an F15 (2016) NBT
Sorry not being able to help you in a better way

Going to be adding this to my car. Luckily I have the hardware already built in. Just need to acquire FSC and code.

Very tempted to get this Unichip setup. Are those of you who've had it for months still using it daily, or has the novelty of it worn off? Living in LA it would just be amazing to use google maps with real time traffic...
