Carplay stretching issues

I am having some issues, I tried another thread but couldn’t get any responses.

I have ENTRYNAVEVO with ID6 on my 67 plate 330e

I have already coded in Apple CarPlay

Now, I have completed the 8.8in retrofit, part 6822626 from 2017 335d

The BMW side of things is fine:

I have coded

3001 EXBOX > DISPLAY_VARIANTE = breites_display
3005 APIX_CID > CID_DISPLAY_SIZE = 8.8
3005 APIX_CID > CID_DISPLAY_RES = 1280x480
3006 NAVIGATION > DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION > 8.8=1280x480
3005 CARPLAY_FULLSCREEN > AKTIV


Carplay was installed using feature installer (fsc codes).

Now, for the Carplay, even though it was perfect on the 6.5 in screen, is appearing stretched, and jarring to the eyes. I have OCD so it’s really bugging me!

The stretch is vertical, rather than horizontal.

If you look closely the text looks all weird. Its hard to show in pictures


Some apps, like Spotify, look absolutely terrible and very annoying.


I tried coding back the Carplay_Fullscreen to Nicht_aktiv, but even in split screen it is stretched.

I am tired of this today so I will do it tomorrow, but is there anything I can do?

I can see there are more options in Bimmercode expert.

CARPLAY_SWT - currently set to nicht_aktiv
APPLE_ENHANCEMENTS - again, nicht_aktiv


Is there any workaround for this? I can’t see why it would be stretched. People with Pro nav got full screen, and this is the same screen? Surely it’s nothing to do with ENAV_EVO?


Since the last post, I have tried reflashing Carplay to no avail.

BMW website says no available updates for my ENAVEVO.

Last few digits of VIN is A240736

I am not a proficient coder so don’t really want to delve in to iStep unless absolutely necessary because I don’t know what I would be doing (I am new to BMW)

Hey, thanks, this fixed my split screen carplay aspect ratio. It was set to 1.07 and the carplay picture had a slight vertical stretch, I’ve set it to 1.00 and now the split screen carplay is perfect 1:1. It didn’t fix my fullscreen carplay horizontal stretch but its much better now with correct aspect ratio.
