Carplay for m240i 2018 LCI big screen

Hi all,

Sorry for bringing up a recurring question but I searched but could find a concrete answer.

I think that with my stereo I can install usb car play just by software.
Has anybody done this without messing with the hardware?

Thanks!

You don't need any hardware to install CarPlay.
Drop me your VIN to my PM, I'll check what has to be done.

Sorry, I cant seem to be able to reply to the private msj.

I will copy/paste the msj I wrote:

Tks for the reply; a couple of questions:

1- I understand my car dont have a wifi antenna and, from what I read, its 100% necessary. Is this right?
2- Whats the difference between activating car play using this method vs activating through an official dealer?

Tks

2. No difference.
