Hey guys!

I have a 2018 BMW F36 with NBT Evo head unit (large nav + virtual cockpit). I’ve been trying to activate Apple CarPlay using BimmerCode.

In BimmerCode I can see:

•	A4A\_WIRELESS\_IOS is already set to “aktiv”  
•	FSC 0143 Apple CarPlay shows “Not available”

So the coding side seems fine but the FSC licence isn’t activated on my VIN. BMW wants 300€ for it which seems insane.

What are my options here?

Is there a trusted reseller where I can buy the FSC 0143 for my VIN for a reasonable price?

Or is a CarPlay adapter box like Carlinkit a better route?

Any help appreciated!
