Literally the easiest thing in the world along with the map updates — done in the blink of an eye. Let the iDrive do its thing for 2/3 minutes after and it was perfect, no problems whatsoever! Thank you all at Bimmerfits.

My BMW dealer told me CarPlay could not be activated on my 2018 X1. Bimmerfits confirmed it was compatible via VIN in minutes, then dialled into my laptop on a Sunday and sorted everything in around 10 mins. Highly recommended!

Had Bimmerfits do my 2017 435d and it works flawlessly! The customer service has been really good from start to finish. I had put this off for so long but at the price they offered I bit the bullet. Overall really chuffed — would recommend to anyone.

Just upgraded my 2017 335Xdrive to Apple CarPlay. Thanks to rapid and helpful responses from Bimmerfits and their guides, even a useless klutz like me was able to do the install in 15 minutes. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

This is the second time I have used Bimmerfits, and both times have been perfect experiences! All my questions were answered before purchase, and when I got a bit stuck during install I received immediate replies — even out of office hours!
