I just bought a used 2017 530i and can’t seem to get it to even show up in the Communications/mobile Device menu!

I see Bimmer Tech sells an activation kit with a cable both for $450! Ugh! Do I really have to do that to use a free OS that is in most cars these days? How do I know if I have iDrive 5, 6 or 7?

Thanx in advance!

Your BMW has iDrive 6 and it requires Apple CarPlay activation which costs $300. You can activate it from within the car, watch this video to see how to activate CarPlay in your BMW:
