Alex Chen –
I was hesitant about buying a service for my used BMW, but this was worth every single penny of the $150. The process was incredibly simple. After a quick chat, the technician remotely connected to my car and in under an hour, I had full-screen Apple CarPlay, which makes the screen so much more useful. It feels like a brand new, modern infotainment system. The service was professional, fast, and the instructions were clear. If you’re on the fence, just do it. You won’t regret it!

Unbelievable service for the price. $150 to get features that should have come standard from BMW. The team was quick, friendly, and incredibly efficient. My 2019 X5 now has a beautiful Change Region and Activate Carplay and AA DISPLAY. It was like magic watching it happen remotely. 10/10!
