Coding ID6 from ID5 can be done using BimmerCode (in Expert mode) or using a laptop w/E-Sys. Search for the specific coding parameters that need to be changed in the F30/F80 Coding forums or you can PM me for it. My car came from the factory with ID5. I recently updated the firmware (also called I-Step) in my car which updated the firmware in my iDrive head unit to NBTevo_P, which means my iDrive head unit can run the widescreen Carplay patch. As what was previously mentioned, you need to have newer iDrive head unit firmware in order for the widescreen patch to work.

Once this is released, I can finally enable full screen CarPlay! Looks amazing!

After two days with iOS 13, here are my initial impressions:
- Many refinements (new split-view, Settings, Dark Mode, etc.) - My iPhone has reconnected EVERY time since installing iOS 13 (about 20 reconnects so far) - Incoming phone calls still take over the entire screen so if you're running Waze or Google Maps the phone call will hide the map. You must manually tap back into the mapping software you're using. Some photo... |

But after installing iOS 13 my iPhone has reconnected every time, not a single failure so far. I'll know for sure if iOS 13 has resolved the reconnection issue after a few weeks of testing but it's looking good. And the improvements to CarPlay are worth the upgrade to iOS 13 alone. There's been lots of debating on this forum about the CarPlay reconnection issues and many feel strongly iDrive is the cause but it may turn out that iOS 13 resolved those issues. Of course more testing is needed so I'll report any connection failures should they occur. My BMW Genius told me a software update was coming in June to resolve the reconnection issues but I haven't heard back from him since and July is almost here. That said, iDrive needs some refinement and a software update would be welcomed if actually delivers a better experience. |

You rock, LJ. Thanks so much. Question: When on the Dashboard, do Maps graphics show: a) Turn-by-turn instructions? b) Lane guidance? c) Traffic alerts? d) 'Direction Of Travel' view? What I'm trying to get at is whether Dashboard gives the user everything he's used to in that view -or- if it is highly compromised and you don't get those four key elements. Can you perhaps take a screencap on a route so we can see what "while you're driving and navigation is working" looks like specifically on the Dashboard? Thanks. |

The person taking that photograph simply has the NBA app on his phone and enabled it to work on the CarPlay home screen using the CarPlay settings in iPhone settings. |

And just to update you on the number of successful reconnects, I'm still batting a 1000. I'm growing more optimistic iOS 13 has resolved the reconnect issue X7 owners have been experiencing with CarPlay. |

Not to bring you down, but... I've had a couple of reconnect issues (but not a high percentage), as well as Apple Pay turning up a couple of times on the charging dock. I'm running iOS13b2 at the moment.
