BMW Apple CarPlay Fullscreen Activation
Unlock the true fullscreen Apple CarPlay experience on your BMW iDrive system.
Many BMWs come with Apple CarPlay from factory, but it’s often restricted to split-screen mode. This upgrade removes that limitation, allowing CarPlay to run edge-to-edge across the entire display, just as it should.
How it works
BMW iDrive 6 runs on NBT EVO head units, identified by a software letter ranging from N to Y.
The process depends on which version your vehicle has:
🔹 NBT EVO O or older
If your system is running O or earlier, a full firmware update is required, followed by a fresh Apple CarPlay installation.
✔ Complete firmware flash
✔ Official CarPlay reinstallation
✔ Fully compatible & stable
Price: £150
🔹 NBT EVO P to Y
If your system is P or newer and Apple CarPlay is already installed, no firmware update is needed.
✔ Safe software coding only
✔ No flashing
✔ Quick activation
Price: £50
If your system is P or newer and Apple Carplay isn't installed. It will need activating.
Price: £100
This simply unlocks fullscreen CarPlay that’s already built into your system.
Why choose this upgrade?
✅ OEM-style integration
