Sir can I play USB VIDEO on cic on BMW e60 m5

[@bimmer-tech]

Hi, please send us the last 7 digits of your VIN and we'll check.

[@salmaniftikhar6583]

Ok

@@salmaniftikhar6583 CarPlay MMI has a USB multimedia port which you can use to play videos and music, but the CIC head unit itself doesn't have that.

Request: I have seen other vehicles with automatic door locking by walking away with they key fob. Once the key fob is a certain distance away, click click - locked. What would even be cooler is walk away and the doors lock, windows close and mirrors fold in. Lastly, thanks for Video in Motion, it works super great! 2016 BMW X5 5.0

[@khaledyousef79]

Thanks a lot for your never ending contributions to the BMW community. I've always wanted to change the orange display color of the instrument cluster you get at night to replace it with the white and blue color you get at daytime. My vehicle is F15 (2015 X5 35i). Could this be possible?

[@Mudig]

I'm confused about enhanced bluetooth. My car can stream music but does not have the option to read texts. Also the sound quality is poor. So do I already have enhanced bluetooth?

[@bimmer-tech]

Yes you do.The range of functions covered by Enhanced Bluetooth option strongly depends on the type of your smartphone as well as the design of the BMW hardware and software in your car. For example, if you can’t access calendar or read text messages, it means that your smartphone is not compatible with the factory pre-set configurations of your BMW, and this doesn’t let this particular feature work. Visit www.bmwusa.com/owners/bluetooth-technology (for North America) or www.bmw.com/content/bmw/marketBMWCOM/bmw_com/en_CC/footer/compatibility-check (for other locations) and check which features you should have available.

[@hellogoodbye.]

I want everything! Bluetooth & USB video are a must get.

I have a 2016 Bmw f22 with nbt entrynav hu and I found a $400 full hu/screen/controller from a 2014 x5 with the 8.8 screen and navigation. Can I swap my whole hu for this and be able to code it to have apple car play?

[@bimmer-tech]

Hi, unfortunately not. Firstly, the X5 screen isn't going to fit in your F22. Secondly, the 2014 HU isn't equipped to activate CarPlay. In general you've got two options. One option is to retrofit an NBT Evo ID5/6 HU, which is equipped for CarPlay, and then you can activate the native CarPlay option. You can check the right HU kit for your vehicle here: www.bimmer-tech.net/category-nbt-evo-id5-id6-navigation-system-retrofit The second option is to keep your existing HU and install a third-party CarPlay interface, like our CarPlay MMI Prime: www.bimmer-tech.net/category-bmw-carplay-mmi-retrofit Feel free to drop an email with your VIN to our team at [e-mail] and they'll be able to help you find the right upgrade for your specific vehicle. Thanks!
