I had siri off completely on my iphone, unfortunately siri has to be on fully on your iphone to enable carplay.
As for the internet services/apps, the x5 has a data service, for example in kuwait the dealer has a deal with zain, which provides data services for the car for 2 years once bought new, then the customer renews it.
I think you issue is that it works in dubai only, not in ksa.

كل عام وانت بخير
thank you for your response . I couldn't wait so i immediately had to test by switching off and on siri to see if it had any effect. Ended up spending another 45mins in the car trying different combinations with no success.
i think the main difference between my car and other is the option where you choose BMW System or Idrive which i somehow do not have. Even when i try to voice command my BMW to start car play, it says this feature is not available.
so after spending sometime with Ukd X6, who kindly helped me troubleshoot over whatsapp, we suspect its linked to my car not being able to create a driver profile. I wonder if its a security feature linking carplay to a driver profile for security. The connected drive login would just not connect since my car is from the UAE with CD not being enabled because the dealership in Abu Dhabi does not have it enabled yet.
