Help - activation carplay without wifi

Hello everyone

I need your help please.

I have a BMW f40 from 12/2019 which unfortunately does not have GPS. I would have liked to activate carplay and no wifi socket behind my head unit

So I'm stuck and don't know how to get carplay on my car.

Do you have any solutions to offer me?

Should I opt for a complete change of the head unit? Feasible?

Should I instead opt for installing a “carplay” type box that can be found on different sites like Amazon or others?

I admit to being lost with the amount of information on the internet which sometimes contradicts itself.

I thank you for your help and add some photos to detail my questions

Hi,

Try this:
In SmartPhone instal the app. AAidrove.
Now open the myBMW app pairing with the Car 🚙
Open the AAiDrive
In the car press 🌐 on screen or Manual Gear .. or Automatic ......

This solve part of my problem too.
The app's have to be running and if you play a Map GPS app you can 👂 the indications tike Wase or AmiGO.
Open the AAiDrive and read the info information

For more Help just Nock Nock on my Dor or ring the Bell. 😶‍🌫️. ✊️✊️✊️. 🦻🦻

Hello

I had the courage to take it apart to find out what unit it was and if it had Wifi.
Fortunately.
it just doesn't have the WiFi antenna cable.
And the Blue plug also doesn't have a cable. What is it for? What unit is missing?

(I'll post photos later)
