Hi all new poster but long time lurker on the bmw forums.
Like most I'm trying to upgrade my F45 basic EntryNav2 without a wifi port to a hedunit with a wifi port.
I'm an Esys newbie but have been scouring the forums for what feels the longest time to understand the process.

I have ID6 interface

My current hardware version (Hwel) is 0005D1E_002_001_005 without a wifi port.
My current i-Step version is 18-07-520
I currently have a basic 6.5" screen and Navigation with Europe Way maps 2018-2 G1816DR
And GB,IE 2021-2
VO For the car has 5AV, 650, 654, 698, 6AC, 6AE, 6AK, 6AM, 6AU, 6FW, 6UN.

I have purchased a new Headunit which has the wifi port (Hwel) is 000036Cc 002.001.004
Which has a date that is older than my current headunit.

I also have a laptop prepared with esys, tool32 and various other programs that I've read are required for the swap.

What I'm trying to find out is the best method to add carplay.

I understand that with my I step level I can just use the USB, to make a file with hutool and use provisioning if that's correct?

But for a better method, I should use tool32 to install the new headunit & flatten the firmware and remove the installed fsc codes. The I should get a repair pack to inject my original vin and fsc codes to the replacement headunit. After this carplay can be added to my headunit via VO?

Please could someone correct if I'm missing something as I do not wish to lose my connected drive or Navigation, but I do wish to gain carplay.

Thank you all in advance!
