This is a good news for future purchasers!
Question: Does the 2021 X1 come with a digital dash now too? The speedometer and tach look like they're digital...The needles look digital...

No the 2021 X1 still doesn't have a digital cockpit, it comes with analog needles only. They look okay thanks to the "Black Panel" effect, but to me it's a shame to still propose outdated analog needles in a 2021 premium car...

I didn't expect BMW to integrate the newest iDrive 7 Infotainment system that will equip the next generation of X1, but come on they at least could have put the previous digital cockpit from the X3 and 5-series that is compatible with iDrive 6 (see picture below).

I guess that the guys in Munich calculated that they don't need this technological refresh to keep selling thousands of F48...

The dials from the image you posted are my favorite BMW ones. Second come the ones in the current X1. I am not a fan of fully digital dials, especially BMWs.

Recently bought a 2020 X1 and I’m interested in coding full screen CarPlay. I checked my software version and I don’t see NBTEvo_ anywhere on the screen. Can someone help confirm my version for the upgrade?

Will update if successful.

Actually I just had my head unit reflashed because they found errors in it when they scanned, supposedly it has the newest available base, but so far it looks like I can't get fullscreen on it, it's still showing the carplay logo on the right, should my base version below be able to do it with the fullscreen=aktiv setting, or do I need your magic?

I show both phone and media as xT-002.156.007

Success, I just said that I have to reboot my phone sometimes to get it to connect, oddly enough, I have legit hit that rarely with my iphone...

Only downside was I had to remember what I had previously coded...



Edit: Few things I noticed from previous firmware

- Mirrors automatically go down when in reverse
- The 'drive mode' animation(s) no longer play on iDrive for whatever reason (May be related to fullscreen?)

Your 2021 x1 already has built in full screen carplay? Or did you code it in

Indeed the newest revision while not doing fullscreen by default simply needed fullscreen=aktiv in bimmercode and is now full screen.

It will be iDrive 6 and should show Carplay fullscreen with the larger display by default.

Where exactly in Bimmercode did you find this option?
Have you tried it yourself?

I did it last night and it worked fine after the dealer loaded it with the latest firmware/software and I then changed the fullscreen setting in Bimmercode.

Bimmercode Expert Mode in the Head Unit section
3000 HMI
CarPlay full screen = aktiv

Many thanks for the prompt reply!
Could you please also state the exact version of the new firmware uploaded ?
Since still on warranty I am planning to have the firmware updated, too.
There are a few software glitches that need to be fixed that provide the ground needed.

Keep in mind different countries handle this process in a different manner, in the US unless they find errors in the system that can trigger a warranty reflash, they would charge for it, saying the system has issues or crashes will not do it here, they need proof of errors in the system.
