Carplay in a 2014 F31

Waitey · 03-06-2020, 10:13 AM

What are my options guys?

I've done a search and there seems to be a lot of conflicting advice.

Some people saying the ID4 can be reflashed (but with no indication of how?), others saying I'd need an ID5/6.

What routes have you all successfully gone down?

Using a Unique-AD wireless Carplay MMI box. Does the job for me. Never touch iDrive any more.

Or get an Avin unit like the one I'm selling!!

I'm interested in this for my 2014 M4 - hired a Fiat 500 the other week with CarPlay and really enjoyed it!

This is something on my mind, I have pro nav and enhanced Bluetooth but it would be good to get Carplay, is it a case of having to buy an aftermarket kit or can it be coded to work??

Read something on another thread about needing a specific antenna or something?

I bought an MMI box from Unique-Ad but the audio quality from it was woeful so gave it back.

I bought a different one from Integrated Auto which has been brilliant and the support has been great too:
