which version of iDrive supports full-screen CarPlay?

I just got upgraded to M/TB-007.030.001 during a service visit and this version does does not appear to support full screen CarPlay.

My understanding is that even the versions that support full screen don't have a toggle for it. The difference is you don't need anything new installed on your iDrive, just use Bimmercode in expert mode and change CARPLAY_FULLSCREEN to aktiv.

After reading reports on late model deliveries that come enabled with full-screen Carplay support, I was hoping (perhaps naively) that updating the iDrive software to the latest version would somehow automagically enable it for my '21 M240i.
Apparently I was wrong.

Not natively. Needs coding as well for older models even though you update the software.
