BMW X1 Forum - View Single Post - Can Apple CarPlay be added on afterwards (retrofit)

Hi all,

I have a 2018 BMW X1, and I did not get the Apple CarPlay addition when I bought the car.

I have signed up for Connected Drive access and are able to login and see my services, but I do not see Apple CarPlay listed anywhere.

Is it possible for me to have this downloaded/installed? Perhaps a Retro kit?

Any ideas? I'd like to add that I have googled around this forum and several others, and everyone seems to have an opinion (wireless option needed, downloaded from connected drive store). Honestly, I am confused about what to do.

Derek
