Car play retrofit via ISTA +
Hi guys, 

I have the latest ista Next and Im looking to activate/retrofit Apple carplay in a 2017 f30. 

The problem I have is there is no option under Vehicle programming for apply car play. 


I have access to portal with genuine BMW subscription, so I can pay for FSC activation but I cannot find this option anywhere? 

Can anyone help? 
btw, Car already has a Wifi antenna fitted.

Thanks, I tought that. 

So how are other people activating the car play then, are they using other vin numbers? 

How can I go then about enabling this option? 

Thank you!

the OEM retrofit, if the vehicle has the appropriate requirements, is done via purchase on the connecteddrive

My car doesnt have option in ConnectedDrive, so this is the reason I would like to do it ina factory way. .
Cause I believe that if you obtain an FSC code, or even via USB activation, when car I-Levels are updated, the NBT Evo is returned to factory default and the car play is removed..

Yes, right,...
each non-OEM patch, which is used to activate the carplay, is removed with software update, ...
but if your vehicle is not equipped with the connecteddrive and does not have the right requirements, you can not activate the carplay in an official way.
