CarPlay retrofit - where place module in 2 series (AT)
This thread is a great find as it chimes exactly with what I'm looking to do - install a Carlinkit into my F45. I've looked at various videos and think I'm comfortable with the installation, however like you I won't have room to put the module under the HU. I can't find any instructional videos how to drop the glovebox. You mentioned in your video you had to do the same. Can you point me in the right direction to do this?

If you already transferred it, just remove it and connect it again and make sure it is 100% in correct position because this makes this kind of problems.. |

I hope you figured it out by now but i eventually did! I (against what I thought) didn't transfer over the FOIC cable when installing the car play kit. See -> https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1686472 |

The units working great on testing but it looks like I have to drop the glove box to fit it in. I’m about an inch or 2 from getting the hk radio back in. Has anyone fit it in without dropping the glove box? Also, where did everyone route their usb cable to? Last edited by Zoon; 05-19-2020 at 08:16 PM.. |

Thanks. I was able to get it to fit underneath the radio...I think certain radios are smaller than others. Then I left the USB cable behind the vents for now. If I find that I need it for anything other than software updates I’ll probably route it how you did.

For anyone experiencing a loss of BMW online services after the install... I'll just add my experience.
I broke the SDARS terminal on the head unit. It just sheared right off when trying to unplug it. So I can't use satellite radio or the online services unless I replace the head unit. Good thing the only service I used was to set the time automatically. I'll never pay for satellite radio when I have Spotify on CarPlay. |

Backup cam operation question?
Hello, Does the backup cam pop on when in the iDrive mode? Or only when in the MMI mode? Same question for a secondary front cam.
I want to maintain using the stock iDrive interface, (wife listens to radio) and have the backup camera pop on when reverse is engaged. |
