Professional BMW ID8 Coding & Conversion
RadioKing provides professional coding and conversion services for compatible BMW vehicles equipped with the ID8 iDrive system.
This service combines supported CarPlay functionality with region change and maps conversion while retaining the original BMW factory multimedia system.

BMW iDrive ID8
Compatibility depends on:

Not every ID8 vehicle will have the same available coding options.

Where supported, the system can be converted to a configuration more suitable for use in Ireland.

Our team will confirm which services are available for your specific vehicle.

BMW ID8 owners usually ask
Will this work on my BMW ID8?
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.
Is region change included?
Yes, where your system supports it. We confirm region change from the VIN before you book.
Are the maps converted too?
Yes, where your system supports it. We confirm maps conversion from the VIN before you book.
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.
