Far more important than full-screen carplay is just fixing the damn crashes and bugs with Carplay in the first place. I've got an appointment with my dealer to reflash for this issue. Carplay is unusable in my 2021. Crashes and reboots about 60% of the time it starts up (usualy in the first 5-10 minutes); and any interruption will cause black-screens. For example, if a phone call comes in, that crashes my system. Open Safari on the iPhone? Carplay crash...

I've had Carplay disabled for 2 months, waiting for BMW/Toyota to issue an update. Hopefully, these problems are addressed in this latest version of i-step.

Is your phone having issues too? Or only carplay?

Carplay was unstable for me at first, crashes, freezes etc. However, my phone had also been on the fritz for the last 8 months or so, with apps crashing somewhat frequently and the whole phone rebooting every once in a while (kernel panic in the debug logs). I assumed the carplay issues where due to my phone being busted, which turned out to be true as I got a new phone last month and haven't had any serious issues since.

Totally possible your head unit / software is messed up, but wanted to provide this info just in case.

I previously had someone activate carplay on my head unit ECU and it's now locked and not accessible via bimmercode. Is the firmware update still going to be able to be programmed for full screen carplay and head unit max brightness?

Pardon my ignorance but for the battery charger, why is there pictures of it connecting under the hood when wouldnā€™t it connect to the battery in the trunk of the Supra?

Yes, no problem with reflashing headunit that had CarPlay previously activated.

Ali,
Yes , no problem , after purchase is made you will receive the software and data required for the flash and you can set up an appointment for once you acquire all the required items.

Good thoughts. I believe my phone is working great, as my other car is an M340i with iDrive 8, and it's been flawless with my phone and carplay since we bought it. Not one crash or hiccup. And no other issues with my phone (iPhone 12 Pro Max) outside of the Supra + Carplay. I do believe this issue is on the headunit side with the Supra.

I also have a 2020 M340i and a 2021 Supra. No issues with either with Carplay, iPhone 12 Mini, if that helps.

Its not recommended to plug it directly to the battery.
