Hi all,

I’m new to owning a BMW. I’ve just acquired a late 2019 plate X2 M Sport. It has the upgraded nav system I believe as it has the larger screen. I’ve done the deal with dealership but I wanted to upgrade to Apple CarPlay. Is it a simple thing for them to do as long as the head unit is the updated version with Wi-Fi antenna and/or the iDrive version is compatible? I neglected to request it during the sales as I was distracted by a personal issue at the time.

If I have all of the above as existing, is it as easy as getting a code as I’ve seen online?

I pick it up tomorrow.

Welcome to the Forum

If your car is Idrive 7 (I beleive it should be) try this

  • 1. Bluetooth has to be turned ON on your iPhone.
  • 2. In the iDrive 7 menu, press or navigate to COM – Mobile Devices – New Device – Phone calls and audio
  • 3. On your iPhone’s Bluetooth menu, select the BMW entry. ...
  • 4. Confirm that the PIN displayed on the iDrive 7 and iPhone match, then select YES.

I am not sure if there are subscription charges I am android (had to use a wired connection first time) not apple but from what I have read it should be straight forward 

Good Luck

Dave

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.

      105C thermostat replacement

      As I understand the wiring diagrams and operation Item 9 on the thermostat housing is the sensor which sends its signal to the ECU for interpretation with information from the map sensor. Information from item 12 (1st drawing ) is also used to provide average temp across the cooling system. As far as I am aware the Thermostst is independent of the sensors and operated by expanding wax material internally
