Other apps showed up as well, Spotify, Android Auto, BMW Store, Automatic Window, Weather, My BMW, Drive Recorder, Rules for Climate Control. Vehicle build date is December, 2020.

Is that just in Germany, or do you know if Korea is included as well? Thanks.

Thus, the military sales dealer told me ahead of time that apple car play and navigation won't work in Korea so I'm fine with it. I know when I take this car back to stateside it'll be better. So I turned off apple car play and left my car to idrive. I also connect my iPhone to the car via usb to charge while using Naver to travel around Korea. I have to look down once in a while while traveling but it's not a huge deal right now since I'll be back in stateside next summer.

I'm at Pyeongtaek too. Purchased through kolon. Mine did not work from the start. Did yours start to work after that March2021 update?

No it didn't work after the new update. I talked to Kolon bmw military sales and told me I have to activate my car with the vin and registration when I get back to the states next year.

Naver maps is basically unusable now, Waze is hit and miss. I'm not sure what happened, but if you want to try it you will need a windows computer, an OBDII to ethernet connector, internet access (you can use your phones hotspot), and hit up kubax86. He is the genus behind getting your Carplay unlocked.

Hey tbizzle86, I've been following your threads specifically for Apple carplay. I'm new here and I guess I need to unlock the PM feature first to get to kubax86. I got a 2021 X6 which I'm trying to get carplay unlocked. Any advice will be appreciated!

PM sent.

However, another brand new X5 (US Spec) delivered in August in Korea, the Apple CarPlay is activated and working here in Korea.

Yes, both vehicles were purchased in same place via BMW military Sales in Korea.

What is the issue with my vehicle for the Apple CarPlay?
Is my vehicle require software or firmware update?

The BMWUSA said my vehicle will not work until I bring the vehicle to the State..
My question is how does the other X5 is working here in Korea?

Any suggestions?

I can solve this problem and need to order FSC

For me Apple CarPlay was a must. I have a buddy on this forum who found a guy on here who goes by [COLOR="Blue"]Kubax86[/COLOR], who is able to code in CarPlay. My buddy did his a couple weeks ago and I just got my 2021 X5 done today. It take 15 minutes and a laptop and a Ethernet to OBDll connector. I vouch for this guy if anyone is weary.

tbizzle 86, I am definitely interested in having this issue corrected on my new X5, Kolon needs to work something out, to rectify this issue. Should I contact kubax86 directly?
