The base package includes Apple CarPlay activation and Screen Mirroring. If your unit supports it, you can add FullScreen and Video in Motion before checkout.
How it works
We identify the EVO ID5/6 unit and navigation region before payment.
Screen Mirroring is included. FullScreen and Video in Motion are optional add-ons.
After confirmed payment, you receive the activation file and the PDF installation guide.
Copy the file to USB exactly as instructed and follow the on-screen activation prompts.
The automatic USB flow is for compatible EVO ID5/6 units. The VIN check identifies the multimedia unit and only allows checkout when compatibility can be confirmed automatically.
After Stripe confirms the payment, we generate the USB activation package for your VIN and display the download link on the success page. The link is also sent to the payment email address.
Once the files are prepared on a correctly formatted USB drive, the in-car activation usually takes around 10 minutes.
Not for the automatic USB service. You receive a VIN-specific USB package generated for the detected head unit and navigation region.
FullScreen expands CarPlay across the full display on compatible units. Video in Motion is an optional add-on where the unit supports it.
If the USB update is not compatible, it can still be done very simply, but you will need a laptop and an ENET cable. If the unit is ID5/6 but the update appears incompatible, contact us and we will tell you exactly what to do. Use the contact form to get in touch.
If you need manual help, use the contact form.
This service is for BMW cars with Navigation Professional, an 8.8 or 10.25 inch screen, and an EVO ID5/6 unit. The final compatibility check is made by VIN before payment.
