I'm no expert, but I guess it's software, but I doubt the dealer will help you.

Here my experience is that the dealers don't do software upgrades to get more options.

It's an upgrade via Connected Drive, same as Online Entertainment can be added.
I add it on my F80 and had it cancelled after a couple of days, the idrive displays of the music are far better in my opinion. You also have to have idrive or CarPlay active if that makes sense, you can't switch between the different menus without turning CarPlay on or off. Don't spec if on the car buy it when you get the car and cancel if you don't like it. In the UK you have 14 days to cancel it. |

Got CarPlay on my 540i. I'm an Apple fanboy, but in all honesty, the UI is horrendous. BMW's iDrive is far better.
One observation though... The iDrive system communicates with the iPhone via Bluetooth only. CarPlay allows for the iPhone to talk to the car using both the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radio reducing the buffer time when playing high-bitrate music (like Apple Lossless or AIFF/WAV files). |
