Apologies for the delay in replying; I was trying (and failing) to do some more research so that I could provide informed answers to your questions.

What's the process for getting legit BMW codes from the factory? What's involved in getting them installed. Quote:
Thanks, Chris. |

For CarPlay to work you will need enhanced BT and WiFi. Then you will need the codes to be remotely installed. My codes came from Steve at codemybimmer.ca. He remotes in through your computer to install them and actives CarPlay. You can compare your car to mine and see if everything else lines up aside from BT and WiFi to make sure it will work and then reach out to Steve. Vb98560 is the end of my vin |

Nightmare. After upgrading the software we cannot delete nor overwrite hacked FSC codes with ESYS. (FSC code cannot be owerwritten by ESYS if the new FSC code date is later than the one on NBT. Closed loop.). Software reisntall on NBT does not help, as it does not delete hacked FSCs. From 07-09 software version BMW closed the backdoor, what FeatureInstaller used to replace fatcory CERT and factory FSC with hacked cert and hacked FSCs signed by hacked cert. If newer software recognizes (as in my case) the situation, it drops a Component protection error in the HU. We even deleted the v850 NBT with proper function, but FSC codes are remining there... To put it in a nutshell: if you applied Carplay based in hacked FSC codes and cert, and did not revert them back to oem, after software upgrade your NBT are sucked. If anybody has a more proper solution to get rid of those hacked FSC, than please contect me... |

NBT-HU manipulation If FSC and enabling code manipulation is discovered, all warranty is void, units are non recoverable and must be replaced at the cost of the customer. They are working on a tool to reset HU units. |

Hi all, a newbie here trying to make sense of what I’d need to get CarPlay activated in my 430D XDrive. Not long bought the car and miss the ease of use with CarPlay, as all of my most recent cars had it as standard. I don’t have the wireless charger or EBT, so from I can make out I presume I need a WiFi antenna and then the codes to activate CarPlay? I noticed a lot of people saying to contact Wibbles about this. Maybe someone can point me in his direction.
Many thanks |

BMW claims the headunit is corrupted but this is not the case, there is just a mismatch with patched codes and the OEM root FSC cert. It is an easy fix with the right tools and a set of repair codes or the FSC installer can be ran again if it was a cable solution, it certainly does not require a new headunit as the main dealers would have you believe, this is only because they don't have the capability to remove the patched FSC codes. You can buy a carplay OEM FSC code from BMW or a third party supplyer and that would never cause an issue if the car is updateed, however it won't give you full screen carplay and the coding to activate carplay would need to be re-applied after an update, but that is a 2 minute job and can be done with bimmercode if required. The OEM code is expensive - £350 IIRC bit maybe cheaper now. |

What I was referring to is if you install an OEM Carplay FSC (which has to be done with esys), then the car goes to BMW and is updated, then the flag in the headunit (CARPLAY_SWT = Aktiv) would need to be re-enabled, that can be done with Bimmercode. Hope that clarifies. |

Looking at activating car play. In the connect drive online centre it gives me the option to purchase or is there a better way? I have extended Bluetooth, WiFi hotspot and wireless snap in adapter in centre arm rest so think it just needs activating.
Am I best to just pay the money to BMW? |

If you wait for Black Friday they usually discount it, it was £113 last year.
If you go for a 3rd party activation, as long as it backs up your FSC codes and you restore before a dealer visit, then all will be good. |
