How it works
From first message to tested handover.
A clear compatibility-first route keeps the work professional: no public VIN sharing, no guesswork from a model badge, and no booking until the sensible route is reviewed.
Compatibility review
OEM Motion checks the likely CarPlay, Android Auto, screen, coding or iDrive route.
Quote confirmed
You get a clear next step before any booking, parts route or appointment is discussed.
Install or coding
The work is completed around the agreed route, with factory menus and controls checked.
Test and handover
CarPlay, Android Auto, iDrive access, controls and visible proof checks are reviewed.
Quote clarity
What affects the price?
Some BMWs only need activation, while others need a hardware or screen route. OEM Motion checks the exact setup first so the quote matches the car, not just the badge on the boot.
Head unit and software
CCC, CIC, NBT and NBT EVO routes can be different. A VIN and clear menu photo help avoid guesswork.
Factory screen or upgrade
Some cars can retain the existing screen; others are better suited to a larger retrofit display.
CarPlay, Android Auto or coding
Each requested feature is checked against the car's modules, options and current software before quoting.
Install route and handover
The quote can reflect fitting route, testing, travel and any aftercare needed for the exact job.

FAQ
Questions BMW owners ask first.
Does this void my BMW warranty?
OEM Motion plans reversible, plug-and-play routes where possible. Warranty impact can depend on the car, warranty provider and work requested, so check your warranty terms if you are unsure.
Will my steering wheel buttons work with CarPlay?
On supported routes, steering wheel and iDrive controller integration is part of the goal. Compatibility is checked before quoting.
Does it support Wireless CarPlay?
Many retrofit routes support wireless CarPlay. Send your model, VIN and iDrive photos so the exact route can be confirmed.
How long does the installation take?
Timing depends on the vehicle and retrofit route. A typical booking is confirmed after the compatibility check and parts route are clear.
