90? Nothing. If you you mean post 93... it's split-screen, with CarPlay on the left and MINI Media on the right.

Isn't that just regular-old CarPlay on the small 6.5" display?

And that’s the same as shown in stingray69’s photo; CarPlay on the small screen.

I guess I’m not clear on what you’re asking.

The one on the larger screen is NOT full screen carplay.
The album artwork on the right is just one of the MINI split screen options.

Carplay on the smaller screen is the exact same size as it is on the bigger screen, without the split screen option.

I didn't understand...So there aren't solutions for have Carplay in a F60 12/2017 with 6,5 touch screen and navi?
The head unit is different from cars produced after March 2018 with 6.5 display and Carplay?

I didn't realize Carplay was available on the smaller screen, so I assumed it was just full screen Carplay on the larger screen, but now I notice the bezels. I also didn't think that the 6.5" screen was offered on the F60 in 2018, which apparently is the year of the car in the picture posted by stingray.

I just purchased a 2019 Countryman S premium package, so it has the small touch screen, but no navigation. Does that mean I can't activate carplay? That was the one thing this didn't have that I wanted, but it was a good $7-10k jump to models that did. I had conceded that it wasn't an option but had a glimmer of hope on this, and similar threads.

[CITA = macfan; 4515974] Acabo de comprar un paquete premium Countryman S 2019, por lo que tiene una pantalla táctil pequeña, pero no tiene navegación. ¿Eso significa que no puedo activar el juego de coches? Eso era lo único que esto no tenía que quería, pero fue un buen salto de $ 7-10k a los modelos que sí lo hicieron. Yo había admitido que no era una opción, pero tenía una luz de esperanza en esto, y las discusiones similares. [/ Quote]

you can activate carplay in your car, I have the same equipment as you and I bought the fsc and I have inserted it with esys and it works, I have a friend with the same device without a browser and it can also.

Good news! Where is a good place to buy the coding? I contacted two Ebay sellers with my VIN and haven't heard from either one. If they're in China, I guess they could still be on vacation.

OK, lots of conflicting stories in here regarding the 6.5” screen.
I have a 2017 Countryman S
NO NAV
NO Connected
6.5” screen with Harmon kardon

Will the Bimmer-UNLOCK work?

I know the bimmer-tech will work at 650.00

Got my answer from Bimmer-Unlock...NO it does NOT support 6.5” screen.

however, Bimmer-Tech unit does, its 650.00 for me...worth it to get apple CarPlay and nav on the screen.

Bimmer-tech installed on NON NAV, NON touch

Much better sound quality through this unit. Much better than MINI Bluetooth. Yes, on the pricey side, but it was my only good solution and I couldn’t be happier.

You cannot just activate it. Most likely you will need bimmer-tech https://www.bimmer-tech.net/category...y-mmi-retrofit

put your VIN in and see if it will work on your vehicle.

Finally found out how to have it installed/coded.

Really impressed with the way it works seamlessly with the car and without having to plug my iPhone in.

Really worth the money.

Seems to work like a charm. But i have to say i hate mini/bmw for not acivating this for free or even paid afterwards! I emailed germany but they put it back to Netherlands and they said i have to cantact my dealer. Yeah no dealer knows this kind of activation if you ask me. They know less than me.

Where did you get this? does it still work? and if you dont mind, you mention activation but I would need to know how you did it.

Thanks a lot!

Ok I read just about every post on this thread and I'm more confused than I was before! hahaha. Does anyone know if I can activate CarPlay on a 2018 Countryman JCW with a 6.5" touch screen without navigation?

Thank you,

Dave

Got the software from BimmerTech, did the USB load, and that simple I have CarPlay!!

Not cheap, but the simplicity and support is worth it.

one interesting thing, the CarPlay icon on the top page does not appear unless you phone is paired and added as a CarPlay device. Confused me at first.

Full Screen

Has anyone found a way to get CarPlay full screen on the 8inch screen? I have the official version in my 2020 F60. Its such a shame its forced to have split screen, especially when using maps in carplay. I have yet to find any coding options unfortunately.
