What is Apple CarPlay/Android Auto?
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are driver optimised apps based on Android's OS and iPhone’s iOS system, having Apple CarPlay or Android Auto gives you access to a variety of Music and Navigation Apps including:
•Phone
•Messages
•Calendar
•Waze
•Google Maps
•Google Music
•Spotify
•YouTube Music
•Deezer
And a variety of other applications which are either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto compatible
These apps have been redesigned to be driver friendly whilst you’re on the road, allowing you to take calls, listen to music, choose your preferred navigation apps, all projected as an interface into your car, taken from your iPhone or Android Phone.
You can add Apple CarPlay/Android Auto as an additional extra as part of your stinger screen package when choosing the options above
PLEASE NOTE: only iPhone’s are compatible with Apple CarPlay and only Android phones are compatible with Android Auto

PLEASE NOTE FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO SELF INSTALL: The BMW CCC CarPlay integration system can be very fragile when installing, you can ONLY change toggle switches when the car is OFF and power cable is UNPLUGGED from the module after 30 seconds to drain power.
Failure to do this can cause the unit to short circuit and ultimately stop working.
You will need to ensure not to pull or stretch wires as this can also cause damage.

For this installation, you will need a trim removal tool to remove any plastic trim pieces, a screwdriver with a Philips head and a Torx T20 head. I would also recommend using a towel to cover your centre console area to prevent any scratches on the plastic.
