I am in the same boat. I bought a 2021 X5 40i thru the BMW military sales in South Korea. It's a US-spec car and it was just delivered to me in Korea last week 10/16/20. My car also doesn't give me the option to select CarPlay. It seems from the research that I have done because I can't register my car and add it to the connected drive app, plus none of my telecommunications work, ie navigation or LTE services, that I'm unable to unlock CarPlay in i drive. It's ridiculous that you have to jump through hoops just to get CarPlay to work. CarPlay works great in my 20k Hyundai I shipped to Korea from US, but an $80k BMW doesn't. At this point my only option is to wait for a coding fix to get my Apple CarPlay. I also sucks that I can't download other Apps like the drive recorder too. I should be able to tether my phones WiFi to the car, or connect the car to WiFi and download these apps and unlock CarPlay. For the money we pay for these cars BMW makes it really difficult. Please if anyone knows a work around or a coding method, please share!

i believe you have to enable car play in the idrive menu under settings you will see "apple carplay"
seems a bit hidden, i spent 30 mins sorting it out when i had a demo car! |

CarPlay
Ok, so I was finally able to get my CarPlay coded in on my 2021 X5 40i. If anyone else needs this done, hit up [COLOR="Blue"]Kubax86[/COLOR] and he will take care of you.
