Yep, it will work with both the 6.5" screen and 8.8" on your vehicle. If you have NBT, you will need to remove the glovebox to tuck the MMI box into mounting location but it's not overly difficult. It will be available on the sponsor classified section as well as on our website available for purchase and I will be sure to announce it.

Will it work on a 2012 F30 with the 6.5” screen and no nav? I think that’s CIC. Also, will you ship to the USA from your website?

Does the CarPlay module work via HDMI? Does it include the MMI or is that an extra cost? Does the iPhone connect into the factory USB port, and if so, can you still use it for music?

This MMI box is solely for CarPlay and does not have any sort of aftermarket interface. The iPhone connects to a separate USB port that comes with the MMI box which you can either run to the Glovebox or Armrest. The amperage on this USB port is actually higher than the OEM port so charging is way faster. Once your iPhone is connected to the CarPlay MMI box, you must change the Audio source on the BMW interface to AUX for audio to work. When you're running on CarPlay, you will be able to browse and play tracks off Spotify, your Music Collection as well as any other compatible apps. We'll have a video of the device in action next week.

Crap. That may be a deal breaker for me. I wonder if a USB bluetooth adapter would work...

Personally, I would prefer USB since the wireless version is known to be a bit laggy and doesn't use the full dimensions of your screen.

So in order to use the audio of CarPlay it has to be set to AUX mode? Im that case you wouldn?t be able to listen to FM music and get turn by turn via the CarPlay navigation?

Correct. You can still use CarPlay while listening to AM/FM or Sirius XM but you will not be able to hear the voice instructions given by CarPlay if you are using it for Navigation.

I have been thinking about a $2000 nbt retrofit for the last year to get things like album art, Bluetooth music and navigation. Maybe this thing is the way to go! Is there any chance you can provide a full list of features that this will add to a car with hu_entry? It is really too bad that the iPhone needs to be connected to the car but if you are able to confirm that Tidal would be able to be controlled via idrive so I don't have to touch my phone to scroll through playlists or skip songs while driving oh my I would sure be happy! Thanks! And looking forward to seeing a video of this is action!

This CarPlay addon will give you all of the features integrated with CarPlay that runs off your phone such as Siri Voice Control integration, Music Playback, access to apps such as Spotify and Tunein Radio and also Apple Maps. Yes your phone has to be connected at all times but you will have Navigation on your vehicle and access to your music without having to spend over $2000 on a NBT retrofit. You can browse and skips songs either directly from the carplay interface or via the thumb wheel on the steering wheel. You can also navigate through the CarPlay menu using the OEM iDrive controller just like on BMW's version of CarPlay. Hope this helps!

When will you have a comprehensive video showing all the features on a car with HU_ENTRY and more importantly when are they available for sale and what is the cost? One other question, with CarPlay can you screen mirror or have video playing from netflix or youtube? I imagine some fancy jailbreaking of iphone is likely required, sorry for being a noob |

Also, I want to add I live in Spain so would delivery here be an issue? In fact, I work in an overseas territory of the UK called Gibraltar, so if delivery is possible there, that would be great as I could avoid the VAT and duty when the unit arrives over here....

Steve,
Concerned about the Aux audio issue, as if I wanted to use NBT nav (so that I get turn-by-turn in the HUD) and listen to music on CarPlay at the same time, it's a no-go. Is this correct? Regardless, given the results of your evaluation so far, I'm interested in this product if the price is right. Please keep posting your feedback as you evaluate! Are you still on-track for 2nd week of November availability? Any idea on price? Thanks! Last edited by torqueflite; 10-18-2017 at 11:16 AM.. |

As for pricing, we cannot post that here due to forum rules so you can either PM me directly or wait until we have the corresponding commercial thread in the sponsorship classified section. Yes, we're still on track with 2nd week of November. Right now, we're sorting out some compatibility issues with iOS 11 with the manufacturer but we will keep you posted.
