Alternative way to activate Apple Carplay

What is the best and cheapest way to activate Apple Carplay on my BMW F20? The dealer charges € 300 !! My unit is a NBTEvo U19384l

Anyone have experience with bimmer-remote or https://autosvs.com/product/coding-p...w-mini-cooper/

What should I pay attention to? Thanks for your help.

Garage List
I used Bimmer-remote, once purchased I had the link in a couple of hours and super easy process.

Plus a lot cheaper than going to the dealer

Can you do carplay for free or is that complicated?

Good afternoon, I have a BMW 1 series F20 ( Year 2019 - Month 05 )

I would like to know how I can put carplay in the vehicle in order to maintain the original screen and be able to use the controls of the original console in it to use the screen with carplay.

Also, is the system good when placed? i.e. mobile phone connection, waze etc?

Thanks!!
