What OEM Motion checks
Do not guess from the BMW badge alone.
BMW CarPlay support depends on the head unit, iDrive version, screen, software, installed options and the route needed. A 2018 BMW 5 Series and a 2015 BMW 3 Series can need very different paths.
- Apple CarPlay activation where the BMW supports it.
- Fullscreen CarPlay checks for supported iDrive versions.
- Android Auto and screen mirroring routes where needed.
- Factory-screen retrofit options for cars that cannot be coded only.

BMWs commonly checked
Useful for F Series, G Series and later iDrive cars.
BMW 5 Series and X models
G30, G31, F15, F26 and G05 examples are already represented in the OEM Motion proof gallery.
Older iDrive systems
Some CIC/NBT systems need a hardware route rather than simple coding. The route is confirmed after photos and VIN checks.
Pricing and route
Activation is simple only when the car supports it.
BMW CarPlay activation is £150 where compatible. Hardware retrofit, Android Auto, screen mirroring, iDrive upgrades and coding routes are quoted after the compatibility check.
