Can every BMW M140i have Apple CarPlay coded?
No. Apple CarPlay availability depends on the exact iDrive or head unit, software level, vehicle options and existing hardware. OEM Motion checks the details before quoting or booking work.

The job

- Vehicle proof uses an OEM Motion show plate rather than a normal private registration.
- No VIN, customer name, Apple ID, saved address or private customer message is shown.
- Compatibility depends on the exact iDrive or head unit, software level, options and hardware.

Does Stage 2 affect the CarPlay coding check?
The Stage 2 wording describes this specific BMW M140i as presented for the job. CarPlay coding still has to be checked against the vehicle's iDrive, hardware and software setup.
