Just got apple car play in my FO6
Just installed apple car play this weekend in my F15 and G12. It's amazing. Planning to install it in my F06 once the weather gets better and I put it back on the road.
It reads your text messages, handles your music, you can ask Siri anything and best of all, you get Waze on the big screen. PM if you want to learn more and get a great deal. |

I'm getting a lot of PM's and it seems some are confused. No remote coding services are required to make this work.
Just need to ensure your idrive is at least version 5 or 6. |

From what I understand, iDrive 5+, you can enable it as an app ... anything before that is a retrofit from something like Bimmertech via their Apple Carplay MMI. As far as I know, neither require coding. I have NBT 4 and just ordered their MMI. Hasn't shipped yet as they are backordered.

is it not possible to go into a dealer and get them to upgrade the idrive to ID5/6 from ID4?
just wondering why someone would get the MMI for NBT 4 ...if they could get their firmware upgraded? |

iDrive versions aren't firmware upgrades and dealers won't do it.

You will find that the cars voice command will no longer work you have to go via siri that abit of a pain, all in all worth the small change, though should be free given that ford fiestas have it as standard nowadays |

Getting lot's of PM's. Guys, if your interested in an apple car play solution please make sure the following:
1. Your car has ID 5 or 6. Usually found in newer F15/F16's 2017+ 2. Please make sure you have a laptop with an ethernet port + enet cable 3. Send me your name and e-mail along with the last 7 of your VIN. Thanks |
