speak to the warranty manager and tell him you are not altering anything in the car's engines, just a simple software upgrade for iDrive

Thank you for sharing this guide. if this process is so easy and seamless by just ordering it online, why is this not available for connected drive (UAE) store and can they just enable this if i take the car to the dealer? Will I lose any of my existing services (concierge, live traffic, etc) if i switch to UK store just to Carplay. once the carplay is added, can I switch back to UAE store or i will lose carplay?

2) No the dealer has no clue how to enable it, they will just tell you it's coming soon. I even emailed them this guide and to their training manager and didn't even receive a thank you back....
3) You will not lose anything, I did this on my wife's X5 as mentioned
4) Yes you can surely switch back to the UAE Store afterwards, simply, change your UK Store email to some different email that you don't use and de-register your car from your UK ConnectedDrive Account, then create a new account with the same email since it's now changed on the UAE store and add your car again then enter the security code sent to your car's BMW Messages
5) You will not lose CarPlay after doing this, it's a one time payment to enable the feature and you're done.

Originally posted by Faisal32 View PostI followed the steps. Went to the UK store, paid for carplay, then it worked in my car. The traffic services stopped working though. I then removed my car from the UK store and connected it back to the UAE one. The next time I started the car, carplay just disappeared.

Originally posted by Fortunato92 View PostSame thing happened to me. Bought it in the UK Store, registered with UK Connected and had Apple Car Play. De-registered, registered back on UAE store and Apple Car Play no longer there. Still in the bluetooth settings on my iPhone X but gone from iDrive.
1) I deregistered my wife's X5 from her UAE Connected Drive
2) I created a new account on the ConnectedDrive UK using another email
3) I then added her car, entered the security codes and whatnot
4) I then bought AppleCar Play
5) I de-registered the car the moment I saw AppleCar Play in her car
6) I re-added the car on the UAE connected drive site with her original email that she always uses
She is still enjoying her AppleCar Play to this date and all the ConnectedDrive service and concierge work since she re-registered with the UAE ConnectedDrive

Hello everyone,
I had carplay installed following the process described in this thread. My car was added to Uae ConnectedDrive drive and all features were working including CarPlay.
Over the weekend, I removed my car from ConnectedDrive to add to new ConnectedDrive account (also Uae based) and CarPlay disappeared from iDrive. I then added the car back to U.K. account , assuming that I had already paid for CarPlay 2 years ago, CarPlay would automatically download, but it doesn’t. I tried hard reset of iDrive but CarPlay is not being auto installed . Does this mean i have to pay for CarPlay again in the U.K. account ? any work around ?
thanks in advance
