➤ Apple CarPlay for BMW — https://bit.ly/bmwcarplaymmi
Today on JD Cars we’re tackling a project I’ve put off for way too long. Apple CarPlay on the F30! This was one of those projects I overestimated until actually doing it and my biggest regret is not doing it sooner! Overall, this is an install almost anyone can do at home with minimal tools. I’m very satisfied with how the Motive Supplies CarPlay Kit integrates without interfering with access to the iDrive system if you need it. Top notch. 100% Recommend.
The installation process is actually identical across all other BMW models (within the compatible year range posted on the site). E90’s may have a slightly different video cable connector, but the process is the same. I hope the this video makes the install more easy to stomach! Go get um!
Thanks for watching! Stay motivated 🤟

My SOS is no longer working after installing and it’s such a long winded process operating the apple car play. You have to have internet and Bluetooth on and switching between OEM is Lan other long process
Some buttons on the steering wheel dont work well with android auto upgrade
The only thing i wish is it would work with the stock HUD
Can you screen mirror from your phone to the screen with this?
Ok, first off thanks for the informative video. BUT:
1. you totally left out the part where you explain where that aftermarket mic cable goes. Especially after going through the hassle of routing it around the cockpit I would have expected you would explain that.
2. you don't ever mention where the AUX cable goes to. You quickly mention it comes from the main harness. Is that the same harness that is attached to the Head Unit through the quad socket?
Quick heads-up for future video: we are not only interested in the tutorial for what goes where but also WHY you need to wire this thing this way. A quick introduction at the beginning of the video breaking down each component and what it's for would be super useful.
Cool mods. MMI. I have one too trying to figure out how to use Netflix so funny in navigating on my apple car play. It’s still new to me.
Can you explain what is CIC, NBT, Evo and the how do you know which iDrive you have?
Very informative! Simple question though, will I have to enter a code for the radio as the battery was disconnected?
you can close the latch on the trunk. that way it won't close on you if the trunk falls down while the battery is disconnected

I bought a MMI for retrofit backup cam installation, will that have carplay activation? or will I need yet another MMI?
can you skip songs with steering wheel for spotify?
Any issues installing CarPlay with bm3?
does the car play come on automatically when you turn the car on? like you don’t have to hold the menu button every time you start the car?
Will this work on a 2015 x6??
What bumpers are those they’re gorgeous
Hello, several people commented that the audio with Car Play is not as clean and good as the original Bluetooth connection, I wanted to ask for your comment in this? I would order one of those immeadiately, but I am worried for the audio and music quality.
Quick question, like demonstrated, the CarPlay UI shuts down when park distance is activated by putting the car in reverse or hitting the button. But what will happen if you're on the phone while putting it in reverse? Will the conversation be terminated?
any updates how this working? How long it took to receive the item once paid for?
I bought a CIC one because my F30 is 12/13 and the UI was pretty much equal to CIC ones. After opening it, my head unit has a 4pin LVDS but my screen has a 6pin LVDS (2pin for 12V/power is connected in another place at the head unit – pretty much like yours!). I am basically trying to maintain this 6pin at the screen, leaving the 12V part directly to the HU but connecting the 4pin LVDS at the OUT part of the box/interface and using a 4pin/4pin between HU and IN part of the box. Screen shows "no signal" message, any thoughts?!
Great video! I just installed this and everything is looking good/working except for the audio, do u have any advice? Thanks man
