Early BMW iDrive ID4 owners usually ask
Will this work on my Early BMW iDrive ID4?
It depends on the system version, year and hardware. Send the VIN with the model and year on WhatsApp and we'll confirm before you book.
Is the original BMW screen kept?
Yes. CarPlay is activated on the factory system; nothing is replaced with an aftermarket screen or box.
Where is the work done?
At our workshop in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11. We book the car in once we've confirmed it's supported.
Still not sure it's the right fit? Send us your reg on WhatsApp or call 087 911 0423 — we'd rather check first than swap it after.
