Can you activate Carplay again, if BMW disables it?
If you have bought Carplay from us and took your car to BMW, they might update your iDrive. Which will disable Carplay. We can re-activate it for you but there will be a charge of £35.

When we code Carplay, we advise you to let your BMW dealer know that they shouldn’t update the iDrive. The iDrive or any other BMW components should only be update if they develop a fault, BMW is simply trying to stop people from activating Carplay and other features.

Can I upgrade my normal Carplay to Fullscreen Carplay?
Yes! We can upgrade your Carplay from normal to Fullscreen. However, this depends on your current iDrive software version and if its compatible with Fullscreen Carplay.

We charge 50 Euro to upgrade Carplay to Fullscreen, If bought from us.

If you haven’t bought from us, then its the standard charge of 100 Euro for Carplay

Please take a look at the Compatibility Checker or get in touch to confirm if your car is compatible.

Can you update my iDrive firmware to allow Fullscreen CarPlay?
Sure we can! We can update your current iDrive if it doesn’t support Fullscreen Carplay to a latest version that does.

This will be additional fees to update the iDrive and will need to be done in person.

General FAQs

What is coding?
Coding is changing the car’s factory configuration to unlock some hidden features that are already built in to the car. It allows us to pretty much change and control any electric part of the car. Coding isn’t uploading custom software and completely changing the features and functions, its more like tweaking it to what you like.
Will coding void my car's warranty?

Coding does not void the warranty because we aren’t uploading custom software to the car, we are simply tweaking the current factory one. All coding done is completely revertible and cannot be traced.

We have coded old cars and brand new cars that have come straight from the dealership, not one customer has had an issue regarding warranty after getting their car coded. This is not to say that every dealership will be like this. Dealers are often finding ways to get out of warranty work even if they have to blame the smallest of things.

Again we use custom FSC to activate carplay, but when starting the procedure your OEM FSC will be saved so you can revert anytime to factory settings. If the dealership will update the navigation unit before you revert to OEM FSC you will lose Carplay.

 

What do I need to install for Remote Coding?
You just need to download and install two software.

Remote Desktop
VPN Software
These are very easy and simple to install. We will send you download links after your purchase.

Yes! You can still get Carplay activated even if you’re not near us. We can activate Apple Carplay via USB or Remotely.
