I've been looking at everything for this too.
I saw a dongle that converts AA to CarPlay... doesn't work with BMW.
I thought about buying an iPhone, but then would require a sim.
The only option we have is that bimmertech headunit MMI. That's literally it :'(
So I've given up and I'm...
Your car must already be built with a stock number prior to you doing paperwork. Because many of us have build/built dates 3-4 months prior to boat arrival.
Realistic time frame - Expect it to be 9-12 months if it's a new build order. If it isn't a new order (ie: has a stock number and/or...
Wholy shit.
I have a VIN and boat name. Shit is actual real.
Someone else from this group had theirs built pretty much the same time as me. It's on the Morning Peace (didn't stop for... Heat Treatment ?)
Docking dates;
Perth: 16 July
Melbourne: 28 July
Brisbane: 1 August (me)
The excitement...
I have access to our Toyota stock controller. Shes 20m from my office. I check with her each Tuesday (Toyota generally update boat names on Tuesday). Toyota still haven't uploaded the boat name for my case. Heaps of the staff are always trying to find out info for me, it's nice that they care (I...
Hey guys
Has anyone tried Ottocast's new dongle?

Supposedly, if the car accepts Car Play, you can use Android Auto to control it.
It isn't supported by BMW though. Then again, Supra is outdated...
? I'm failing at this, terribly.
Your boat story gives me hope though (Not getting a boat name until it was pretty much here). I'm that fucking stupid, I'm tracking 2 boats... ?
I've never, ever, heard of this before. Lol, wth happened for them to do that ?
Quite possibly :O He's probably worried about the port congestion here in Aus at the moment. I heard some boats were stuck for 4 weeks holding Toyota's outside of Brisbane last month.
I actually went and checked out all the boats headed from Bremerhaven Port to Brisbane from about 2 weeks ago...
Woohoo! Congrats man.
Thanks for your help everyone. Now it's built I think my brain has been occupied by 95% Supra.
VIN - Not yet. Toyota don't give VINs until scanned on the boat, our stock controller said.
Mine is still showing on the wharf, but she reckons it should be shipped by now...
Hey lmao (and anyone else on this and most recent boats).
I was just wondering, has anyone worked out roughly how long their car was on a boat for?
My car was made 2 weeks ago. Today the Toyota lads logged in and saw it's still showing that it's at the wharf. But, they think it's on a boat and...
For the Aussies with the red Supra badge, was it hard to get? Any tips/help?
I've found a toyota accessories seller on ebay that ships from US to Aus, but looks like it will be about $250-$300 delivered. Ouch.
September last year mate.
Couldn't agree more... just take any information you get with a grain of salt and have no expectations.
12ish months seems to be about average.
It sounds so. If you get a boat name, please let me know. My stock controller said she will keep an eye out for a vessel name for me too (I'll pm you if I get it too).
Wholy shit. That looks so freaking good. Hm... I may also need a red Supra badge hah. It looks great mate.
Once it's home, would you mind sharing some more pics? Any pics you got, I'm keen to see ?
I got the same colour as you and I've never seen so many different looking blues, that are...
