BMW Coding and Apple CarPlay

I want to give a shout out to ALMARETTO who remotely coded my car and added full screen carplay.

I highly recommend him for anyone who needs any coding done

Almaretto is on this forum already. Shoot him a message. You need an ENET cable for the coding. I purchased mine on Amazon for $16.

He can code anything. He has a very robust list to choose from. The list can be found on:

Update: Its been 2 weeks since I got Carplay and got my car coded, and I'm loving it. I also updated my iphone to ios13, and Carplay is even better.

When was your 7 produced (I thought 2016's couldn't have CarPlay) and do you have ID 6 Lite now (if so, could you please post pix)? Thanks.

How does this coding work? Does it override the original BMW firmware completely or it adds the new modules? Thanks

I believe cars that came with ID 5 and no touchscreen can only have ID 6 lite (which means no touchscreen), but since 7's have touchscreen to begin with, I'm hoping that it will be converted to full-fledged ID 6.

You are correct. My car has touchscreen and was updated to Full ID 6.

it's just changing the car's setting (like Windows registry) and is reversible. Nothing physical is added.
