BMW Guide to Coding in OEM CarPlay with E-Sys & Tool32 (F30 LCI) 

the greatest and honest guide i've seen so far! thanks! btw, the EDIABAS part can be completely skipped after code FDL. Just press and hold the head unit power button until it reboot with splash screen then go to ConnectedDrive app menu and press Option key and then update apps. After that Carplay, Screen Mirroring, Weather, News and etc will be available.

that was actually a very useful video, much more so than the videos which only show the process of someone connecting remotely. Something is wrong with the full screen there, you've actually got the narrow version stretched across the full screen so the display resolution needs updating

Another super informative video, unlike many other videos only shows an overview and try charging a fee rather than sharing and teaching with the community. Is this step different if you have a NBTEVo HU vs EntryNav2 HU? I have a f60 countryman. Do you know if this will work?

thank you for your work. Thanks to your help with providing software I think I will try coding some functions to my BMW. Basically what I understand presented job is more complicated as it's about adding some hardware. What I'm looking for is to enable (or disable) some functions. I have bought US car without rear fog light and I will try to enable it. Would be very kind of you if you could make a video with simple turtorial like ex. how to enable (disable) start-stop function as for being off as default. Thanks to this anyone would be able to use the same technique to enable-disable other stuff like lights, closing sunroof from key fob ect. From my understanding it will not require changing vin number anywhere. All in all, humble thanks for you.

Thank youu so much for this detailed proccess , Please is that the same instructions to follow with MGU Units?

Thanks for the video. I'm trying to find out how to code this for 3 months ... didn't know the VIN trick for the car 2020+. I'll try it soon

Brilliant video as always

If I change the VIN number in the NBT unit, will component protection not work?

Hey, changed the VIN with Esys, booted up Toolset32 and when im hitting the Provisioning and run job i will get an error saying runtime error. Toolset32 will close, i skipped this step, rebooted everything. Carplay is now visible in my HU but when i try to connect I get an error that carplay cant be activated in the car. Please help!

I've got another question, does this method alter the FSC codes automatically?

Hello, can I activation and ciding my BMW G30 too in this method and program?

Awesome video man, I’ve got a few questions, since I’ve got pro nav but not an evo one, would it just be the case of getting a pro nav evo box and then having to code that in and then getting car play, or is there a potentially a different oem unit I could get which would be cheaper but also get me oem CarPlay, and would getting oem car play full screen with the normal looking resolution, could I get that with a pro nav evo box ? Thanks for the great video, I've subbed, hoping to make bmw videos too myself and you’ve given me great confidence to try this in the future ! Thanks again

Awesome mate! Finally some clear tips for carplay! Can a NBTevo VIN be used for this type of activation? Or should we use only a entrynav2 vin?

Quick question, ive seen some people say that they can get lifetime carplay, does this method expire or is it permanent until you flash the idrive? Im presuming it will stay, as ive switched the vin back to the original, and carplay is still working

Thanks Zee for this Video. It's really helpful. One of the best out there. I was able to install e-sys correctly, and coded some things. However, facing issues with coding CarPlay. I have pro navigation with BNTev0_Y firmware, When I try to update VIN as you show in the video, it says invalid. The existing values are "," separated, I tried VIN in hex with both comma and space separated. Neither worked. I got the VIN for a g20 330e VIN from US region. Does the region and series has to be the same ?

Hello, At the End of Coding the FDL in ESYS there is an error „the cafd is Not codable“. You know the reason for this and how to fix it? Thanks in advance

Do you have an pdf of word document with all the steps to code? Would like to try this on my bwm X1 f48 FL 2020.

Thank you so much for the video. I have a failure in tool32 when clicking Run Job for the provisioning. Error 401. Any idea?

Could you help me, I have an f30 lci, limousine version 2018, with an 8.8 touch screen, but it doesn't have navigation or carplay, it's an HU NBT_EVO, is it possible to activate carplay, even a unit apparently without a gps antenna? I already installed the wlan antenna. tks a lot!

Will carplay come up immediately or will I have to wait the 30 minutes with he car off before it appears? Thanks

hi I installed an nbt evo id4 already flashed in id6 in series 3 2014 my old system is hu_entry the nbt 6 works well after coding with my car I bought the fsc patch (feature installer) but I cannot activate the carplay could this be the solution to activate carplay?

Hi, thanks for the video, can I install CarPlay on NBT? Not NBT evo, I already installed the WiFi cable

Did your car come with ID6? I’ve got a 330e but it came with ID4

Hello bro, thank you for this method youre a legend! Quick question, how do we get android auto & screen mirroring?

Can somebody helps me which function I need to set active or nich-active I do as described in video and get no errors but there is no carplay in connect new device menu I have enavevo id6 and my car has wlan and wifi antena

Can ISTA do this too? I have easier access to ISTA compared to esys and tool32

When I connect the cable, it doesn't recognise the vehicle, it says no zgw available

Done the whole process and still no apple carplay function?

Hi, thanks for really usefull film and procedure. I've done all according it but still have small screen window with Car Play. My I-step version is also correct to have full screen (18-11-563) Do you know what is the reason?

I done this on the exact same car and head unit, carplay is there but it says csnnot be activated

My way region version says 17-03 so is this possible or is it too old

The link in the video for software isnt working, do you have another? Thanks for the video.

I have iD5 version H and want to activate my car play , do you know if the FSC code for the map is the same to activate car play ? Or wondering if I can just follow the esys instructions to see if I can activate it

Would this work if you have ID4 rather than ID6? Or would you have to get ID6 prior to doing this?

Hello, is it possible to get this for my BMW 4 Series GC LCI from August 2018? I think I might have an Entrynavevo head unit with a the way map

@zeeBMW hmmm I dont get it, how can i get a VIN from a F30 from Productionyear 2020, when they stoped producing the F30 in year 2019, or do you mean, get a VIN from a G20? But does that work??

After doing all that I still get a error saying apple carplay could not activate in the idrive, do you know any solutions?

What about early f30s with the basic basic nav literally the smallest screen, can I do this? Or shall I upgrade to a 8.8 inch first?

Why’s the aspect ratio messed up?

Where it says ‘change ‘interface = (x)’ where exactly can I find this in the file. I can see a good few entries starting with interface = …. Is it any particular one? Thank you

Is there a free way to find a vin for a car with CarPlay? Or is there a list of some you are aware of that can be shared?

We can activate carplay with wifi antenna on entrynav screen as well?

Is it worth paying for a lifetime FSC code or doing it this way?

anyone know if these steps work with the 2016 340i (the head unit is compatible, but its on an older iDrive system than this). any idea @zeeBMW ? Need to upgrade first or something?

hey I have set tool 32 open the correct file but get error IFH-0018

Does this work for a 2016 420i nbtevo_E

Will this work on pro nav NBT system? I just need to get the WiFi antenna? Thanks

can I change VIN in FA then write it to VCM and code hu instead of FDL coding?

Is the wifi antenna needed ? If I already have activated CarPlay and it works fine wirelessly. I bought the antenna as I thought I would need it but so far I haven’t noticed any connection problems

Can i use the VIN of a G20 320i from 2022? Does it work when i installl the Carplay on a 2018 F30 320i?

Здравствуйте, у меня nbt entry nav, если я заменю в ней vin, она не заблокируется?

What obd cable are you using?

How to search for vin numbers. Can not find any

I was wondering would this work for a g30 5 series with nbt evo

Can this be done on 2016 f31?

I cant read vcm on a x5 2017, it says generate svt failed, ive done the process through read ecu, is that okay?

This is not working anymore

wheres your guide on how to get esys

Read VCM does not work but read ECU does, any advice on that ?

Did you maybe discover the procedure for MGU? Would this work on a MGU unit?

if it’s a 5 series can you use a 3 series VIN# and vice versa ?

Hi Bro, My car 2017 320d lci (id4 nbt small screen) is this possible? Yes, thank you very much.

hello, very nices content in your youtube chanel, i need to do the same thing with SERIE 1 2017 with nbt EVO version O ? i got the antenne wifi and wild screen compatibility and i need the mirror for android

Hi, to download the software do you ask me for a key please? Thank you
