Model, year and full VIN
Send the BMW model, year and full VIN privately. The VIN helps check the exact vehicle build, head unit and installed options.
BMW quote checklist
Send the right details first time.
A useful BMW CarPlay, Android Auto, screen upgrade or coding quote starts with the exact vehicle setup. Use this checklist before messaging OEM Motion.
Three things
What OEM Motion needs before quoting.
These details reduce guesswork and make it easier to confirm the correct route before any booking is discussed.
Clear screen photos
Send the main BMW menu, current screen size, software/version screen if available, and controller photos.
What you want added
Say whether you want CarPlay, Android Auto, screen mirroring, a bigger screen, coding, diagnostics or a specific retrofit route.
Send the full VIN privately on WhatsApp. Do not post VINs, registrations, Apple IDs, saved addresses, payment screenshots or customer details publicly.
Photo checklist
Photos that make the check faster.
One clear set of photos usually answers more than a long message. Bright, straight-on photos work best.
- Main iDrive menu
- Current screen from straight ahead
- Controller area and buttons
- Software or map version screen if available
- Existing CarPlay or Bluetooth menu if shown
- Any fault, warning or unusual screen
- Dashboard context photo
- Registration blurred if using exterior photos
Useful routes
Not every BMW needs the same upgrade.
The quote depends on the vehicle setup and what you want from the upgrade.
When the factory hardware supports the route
Some BMWs can use a software or coding route for supported features. The exact vehicle still needs checking before a quote is treated as final.
When a bigger display or Android Auto is wanted
Some jobs need a touchscreen, retrofit interface or route-specific hardware. Photos and VIN details help avoid quoting the wrong path.
