Apple CarPlay - Full Screen

[AllanG]

It does sound like quite a faff. Do the 2023 Macans only show CarPlay in partial screen mode?

On my M6, I used Bimmertech to add CarPlay which wasn’t originally specced on my car. I received a file attached to an e-mail which I could then download to a clean USB stick and had a set of written instructions to follow. It was quite straightforward and I felt comfortable from an IT security perspective with the process due to the reputation in BMW circles of Bimmertech.

With an individual undertaking a process as you describe, it does feel less IT secure (but I am not in any way shape or form an expert in the field). If my incoming Macan doesn’t do the full screen option, I don’t think I’d feel comfortable going down this particular route.

Final point, if there is a manufacture software update during a service and you lose the upgrade/modification you have paid for, will the supplier reinstall for free?

I can confirm that your incoming Macan won’t do the full screen CarPlay option.
