Option 3: Retrofitting Carplay with a Head Unit Upgrade. To get the full original CarPlay experience in an older vehicle you will have to upgrade your BMW iDrive head unit to NBT EVO with the ID5/ID6 software.While this is a more advanced upgrade, it comes with a lot of added benefits, such as an HD screen upgrade, iDrive Touch controller, full coding from BimmerTech, CarPlay & BMW Apps pre. A new hack is apparently all set to bring Waze app to Apple CarPlay compatible vehicles and devices. Here are the details. All of the available packages for jailbroken devices are extremely interesting, and have proven extremely popular over time, but sometimes it is the upcoming or teased tweaks which make the biggest splash.

Hi everyone,
I think I may have found a bug in CarPlay, just wondering if anyone can confirm with their own. From what I can tell, my CarPlay dash doesn't play any kind of video, but if you try this, it seems to work
Have someone text you a YouTube video. While looking at it in your text messages, hooked up to CarPlay, tap it to play. The video will be played directly on the dash.
It does not do this if you try to play from the YouTube app, nor if you try other video. So I have no idea why it would do it here, but it just seems like a bug. Hopefully some of you know why or how or if I'm just an idiot.
