I currently have NBT EVO hu w/ ID5 on my 2017 M240i. Sadly, I don't have CarPlay, but I have installed the WiFi antenna necessary to retrofit it. I have also learned that for full-screen enabling of CarPlay you need software version starting in "N" or "O," and I am currently fitted with "M" version (M17345I). Called the dealership and they wanted to charge me an exorbitant fee ($350) just to update the software. I was looking into BimmerTech, but don't want to pay $199 for the software update and then another $399 for CarPlay. Any realiable coders our there that have experience with this and can do this (significantly) cheaper? 😂 Would appreciate any and all advice. Thanks!

You end up figuring it out? I have the same year car!
Also where did you get the wifi antenna and how long/difficult was the install?

Curious the same questions and rates you paid? Any chance you try taking this up with BMW to handle too?
I also just purchased a pre-owned 2017 M240i (July 2016 production date ive since deduced) Looks like software version is NBTevo_H16205i I take it I need the software update, the wifi antenna (which is cheap/easy part), then either the bimmertech carplay for $399 or talk to Steve@codemybimmer for that part? Thanks for the help!
