So did you put the CarPlay unit in the same place as the video or did you open up the glove box compartment like in the instructions paper and put it in that in between space? Also, did you boot up CarPlay the first time after you put everything back or did you test it earlier in the process? And finally, where did you put the mic and USB port? Many questions |

2. Yes, I tested it before putting everything back together. 3. I attached the mic to the headliner just left of the rear view mirror. The headliner is angled downwards, and the mic comes with a clip..similar to a clothespin, so I punched a hole in the liner just below it's edge and put one side of the clip in there. The USB I pretty much kept internal and only ran part of a one foot cable through the seams in the trim just behind the cup holders. From there it's the perfect length to reach my phone when it's on it's magnetic holder. See pics.

I also have a F32 from 2014, but I don't know if it's full navigation or another form. How can I know? I have the 8.8" widescreen, with navigation, latest maps, Bluetooth, Connected Drive etc. I obviously prefer not to have to open the glove box compartment, but I think it might be the only way if I understand you correctly. |

Vaguely off topic but where do you keep your phone when using carplay wirelessly? I found that my iPhone struggles with maintaining GPS unless it’s under the windscreen.

I keep it in the armrest and didn't have any issue with gps. Some times I've noticed that the gps position was stuck and unlocking the iphone fixed it. Don't know why, probably a random bug. |

Got to install my box today. All went seemingly OK with everything checked and working. Came back to the car around an hour and half later to head home from my parents and the screen is showing no signal.
Nothing touched so not sure why it can be working sweetly an hour and half prior and then receiving a no signal message on my return. Can only now operate the radio through steering wheel and centre console radio front end, no iDrive for now. Edit Out of curiosity I went back out to the car and this time everything was ok. The only thing I did different was the way I opened up the car. To come home I opened the car from the parents house and took a minute or so to get to the car after saying bye to the puppy. The latest test I went to the car opened the car when I needed to open the drivers door and got straight in with the phone being in BT/WiFi range. Car display came on with no issues. |

I installed the box under the air con, so the mini usb was visible, think I read this was needed for a unit upgrade. Is the reset on the same side?
Good to know it isn't just me that has had this issue. I was going loopy trying to figure out what I did wrong.

It's the red button located on the opposite side of the idcore logo, near the dip switches. Just press it and both carplay and idrive reboot! You may need a pen or something as thin to press it.

"When it display no signal, lock the car door for 3-5 minutes, it will go away. We have been investigating this." Also, out of curiosity I asked them if they could open the hdmi input channel so that I could connect a chromecast to it and they said that it's planned to be opened in the future. Right now there's no way to use the hdmi port. |
