Did you say it just popped up as an option one day or did Assist guys have to do something?

Frustrating to know that it's not that easy to add Carplay to a 2018 BMW...makes no sense to me. Anyone know what is actually done with the 6CP code? Is it just flipping a software switch to enable carplay?

Thanks for your help!

I am in the same situation. While I cannot confirm, I have a feeling that CarPlay popping up in the connecteddrive store was in error considering the requirements BMW Assist has told many of us is necessary for CarPlay.

BMW fixed the error which is dumb considering all the extra revenue they could get from all of us wanting CarPlay.

On the plus side, when I had a loaner with CarPlay, the Waze integration wasn't as smooth as I hoped thus making me less miffed at not being able to shell out 300 bucks.
