Thanks for the video, I was able to fit the Wi-Fi antenna in my F30. For anyone who's going to attempt this on an F30 there are 4 screws holding on the front panel, two at the top as seen in the video and 2 at the bottom. Didn't need a trim tool, just pulled at the trim and it came off.
Just activated Carplay on my 3 Series 2017 and this video legit solved my entire issue, going to purchase Wi-Fi Antenna now as Carplay goes to connect but never can, shows up on phone and everything.
Bravo mate. In a world where people will keep this to themselves to gate-keep… you are sharing your knowledge with others. Just done this in my 4 series grand coupe and it worked. Save me a a lot of quid. 👊👏
so wait, was there CarPlay already activated in the car and the antenna allows wireless or was there no CarPlay and the antenna allowed CarPlay all together and that being wireless ? if the latter then need to see if it'll work on bmw X1 but no NBT system but Europe WAY system
Hey, unfortunately not. BMW in this generation only have wireless connection. You can connect wirelessly and then plug wire in for charging if required.
It seems a previous owner of my F32 did this upgrade because I have the option for Screen Mirroring and CarPlay in the menu, but when I try to connect my phone to the car, I am asked for a password which is nowhere to be found. Would you have any idea on how to reset the password please?
Hi guys. . Decent vid!! I have a 2016 M135i. . Is it possible to get CarPlay this way? Or can you advise how I can do this? Will it work for me with the antenna?
Hi, where are you based in England? If I want to her this installed in person on my X3 2019. Could you please tell me how much would it be and how long it’ll take. Thank you
Hi, the activation was done before installing the antenna. This video is purely to demonstrate how to install antenna and a demo of it working after installation.
VIM is only for vehicles that can watch videos whilst parked. For example most bmw F series with NBT systems have dvd players but they pause when put into gear. This coding will allow video to continue whilst vehicle is driving. Also with extra coding video via USB will be possible

Glad it helped. Yes F3x platform has the 2 screws at bottom and slightly longer Dash tri.

I'm glad it's sorted. Hopefully everyone else is fixing their cams
Nice video mate, I was really struggling to fit the antenna, your video really helped!😊
I'm glad it helped you! 😀
Hey mate, great video.
Have you got an updated link to the eBay listing? The one in the description is no longer valid.
Thanks for the video! Made it super easy to take apart my head unit to install the antenna!
Amazing! I’m glad it helped you.
Great tutorial. Done on my 2018 BMW 230i. Thank you!
Great! I'm glad my video helped you get it done!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Great video, just ordered the wifi antenna, torx driver and trim removal kit, hoping this lets me use the Apple car play! 🤞
Let me know how it goes!
@@carcodesecure went great mate, thanks to your video
so wait, was there CarPlay already activated in the car and the antenna allows wireless or was there no CarPlay and the antenna allowed CarPlay all together and that being wireless ?
if the latter then need to see if it'll work on bmw X1 but no NBT system but Europe WAY system
There was no carplay in this vehicle. Adding the wireless antenna is one part of the activation process.
BMW does not have wired apple carplay.
@@carcodesecureah so other parts include coding or something ?
This was perfect I appreciate you guys!
You’re welcome I’m glad I could help!
Can you provide new link to the WiFi antenna please
Ebay most suppliers have similar quality.
My bmw has a fault saying wifi antenna disconnected,apple carplay works....what could be an issue??
Faulty antenna possibly. Remove unit and check connection
Will this also work on f45 lci with the small screen?
No sorey
Great vid! Can I ask a question; Can you just connect via the car’s USB port for a wired carplay connection? (After activation, of course)
Hey, unfortunately not. BMW in this generation only have wireless connection. You can connect wirelessly and then plug wire in for charging if required.
@@carcodesecure thank you for the quick response 🙌🏻
Seen two different types one with a flat end antenna like yours and one with a skinny round antenna on eBay is there any difference. Need it for a g32
Both will work
It seems a previous owner of my F32 did this upgrade because I have the option for Screen Mirroring and CarPlay in the menu, but when I try to connect my phone to the car, I am asked for a password which is nowhere to be found.
Would you have any idea on how to reset the password please?
You are trying to connect via WiFi. This is the issue.
Click on carplay on the car menu and connect via Bluetooth from your phone.
I have a X1 2020 with NBT Evo. Is this all I have to do? No coding or nothing?
The antenna is only after or before activation. Activation is still required
any idea on how to do it to the supra?
Dash comes off similarly there's a few videos on TH-cam for supra.
Hi guys. . Decent vid!! I have a 2016 M135i. . Is it possible to get CarPlay this way? Or can you advise how I can do this? Will it work for me with the antenna?
Can you email or WhatsApp me I can help you further
Hi, great video. Does this antenna work witn android?
Cheers
Android only has screen mirroring for compatible bmw. New bmws come with Android auto.
Just checked my car and I don’t have the Wi-Fi port, what do I need to do to be able to get car play😅
Hey send us a email with your vehicle details and I’ll look into this for you. Our contact is in the description below.
Do you also need to code this antenna in order to get Carplay to work?
No. CarPlay activation is separate and antenna is separate. Antenna does not need to be coded
Thank you
Hi, where are you based in England? If I want to her this installed in person on my X3 2019. Could you please tell me how much would it be and how long it’ll take. Thank you
Hi drop us a message using contact details in the description below.
How comes you didn‘t have to connect the lap top up after you installed the antenna?
Hi, the activation was done before installing the antenna. This video is purely to demonstrate how to install antenna and a demo of it working after installation.
I have the way2018-4 K1927D1R (the small navi) can i this?
What’s the range on the cable?
Been tested throughout the whole car. Not sure about range outside of the vehicle
I need apple carplay for my 120d 2016 😢
Send me email or WhatsApp I can help.
its work with an bmw 335 2015 ?
Only if you have NBT evo headunit
didn't you have to put the usb stick ? or not all Bmws need it
For BMW with later firmware, USB doesn’t work. Needs activation via Enet cable.
Great! But my car have harman Kardon and have rivtes
You shouldn’t have rivets even with Harmon kardon. Sounds like somebody else has done this. Send me a picture on email and I’ll have a look for you.
Do you need to disconnect battery for this
No, it will not be necessary to disconnect the battery.
Where can I go to have this done? I’m based in Manchester
What if you drop a t20 screw down there will it matter?
Sounds like you’ve already done it haha. No it won’t matter. Just make sure everything is stable when putting back together.
How does VIM work?
VIM is only for vehicles that can watch videos whilst parked. For example most bmw F series with NBT systems have dvd players but they pause when put into gear. This coding will allow video to continue whilst vehicle is driving.

and how do you activate apple car play before you install antennas?
We us Enet cable and software on laptop. We provide this service remotely on our website if you need assistance.
