Is there any way of knowing whether the car already has the WIFI antenna from factory? My car has Navigation Pro on NBTEvo and idrive 6.

The problem is that if the phone moves away from the vicinity of the HU then it can become laggy when scrolling on the CarPlay menu or it can sometimes become jittery during music playback. Unsure if you encountered anything like this, but the antenna will solve it! My antenna is going in on Sunday |

So does that involve removing the head unit from the dash to plug the antenna into the rear?

It plugs into the HU, but it’s on the back of it so you have to remove the HU to get to it sadly. I can take pictures on Sunday if you want? Craig (Wibbles) will be doing the work. |

I used to have no issues with a bit of DIY Car Stereo installation (back in the days of my trusty Escort XR3i) and would often help out for friends but I am a bit more cautious of screwing my warranty now. Also be interested to see if this solves the issues you are having too.

I assume this won't work on a April 2016 F36?
I think I have ID4. Never quite know how to check.
