Apple carplay

M892 · 05-26-2022, 01:54 PM

I have a 3 series 2014 with nbt system and was wondering what my options were for having apple carplay and a reversing camera installed? Planning to do it all myself, but just needed to know where to start looking in terms of the product. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

This is the wrong forum (you have a newer model), but you can get an MMI box that will give you Apple CarPlay, etc, for around £200, I know a couple of people with these boxes and they're both happy with them.

Something like this >>> https://droiduk.com/product/mmi-box/

They're plug & play, no coding required and there are a few different places selling similar MMI boxes.

I helped my son fit one of these

to his LCI E91 and he’s very happy with it. I’ve been tempted to fit it to my pre LCI E92 which has already been upgraded to CIC but I’m considering selling my car in the next couple of months so I’m resisting temptation. The hardest part of the instal was finding room behind the head unit for all the extra wiring but it does fit…..just!
As already said, you’re in the wrong forum for your f30 which I believe has the NBT system but the link I’ve posted is good for both systems so go check them out.
