Lost CarPlay - Navigation won't load
So I had Carplay activated by a 3rd party a while ago and everything worked great. Install was via Feature Installer. Recently car went into the dealer for steering rack replacement and they basically reprogrammed every module in the car, effectively wiping outy BM3 tune and Carplay. Here is the shitty part, dealer kept getting stuck with the head unit update due to 3rd party carplay. They are unable to update maps and therefore navigation is stuck on loading and they said I need to remove the 3rd party software first.
I'm confused what to do, how do I return the head unit to OEM so the dealer can compete the navigation map update? Current version on head unit is different now than it was when I installed Carplay.

Watching with interest.
This sounds very similar to the absolute nightmare I had with the dealers when my iDrive controller was replaced. I don’t know the full car history, so perhaps previous owner had other things done, but I had SLI enabled and when they went to code the iDrive controller they ended up with issues resetting the head unit. Car ended up off road for 5 weeks before having all modules recoded through an IRAP session with BMW Germany. To be honest, much as I want my SLI back, I’m too worried of the same rubbish happening again, so very curious what the ‘way out’ is when this happens, as evidently dealers don’t have a solution. |

Ideally the solution would be to restore the head unit to OEM level which would unblock the dealer from doing navigation updates.

The only platform for Protool is an android device. I am an Apple guy, but I went out and bought an Android tablet to run it. That is the only thing I use this tablet for. Pretty cheap Walmart special.

If you get Bimmergeeks to help you out, they will remote in via a Windows machine.

Will give it a try if I get to that point. Want OEM navigation to work and idrive in original state and somehow backed up before I do Carplay back again. I say that cause I cannot find a definitive answer on if ordered via online connected drive if it will work. Even the dealer could not answer me, specifically their product specialist.

Dealer refuses to refund me the cost of the map update the tried to do and were unable to. Cost of somewhere around $400 (I need to check invoice). They said they cannot refund me due to the fact it is already assigned to the vin electronically and cannot be reversed. Returning the head unit to OEM isn't so simple, basically I would need to clear out all modified FSC and use E-Sys to import OEM FSC with BMW certificates is what I am being told.

Yah solution is as stated in my last post. Buy a new code to wipe out modified FSC and then get OEM FSC loaded via E-Sys. Not expensive really but when all said and done I have no definitive answer I can activate OEM Carplay and if I can't then I'd be back to activating via feature installer. That said, all is working now with my 3rd party activation and OEM navigation but head unit cannot be updated and new maps cannot be loaded. I'm okay with that more or less but not okay not getting refunded by the dealer.
