You will need wifi prep for WIRELESS carplay.

You won't for WIRED carplay.

Probably

Had this added to my G30 just last week.

You need to check the vin decoder for option 609 as a minimum ( read here [url http://bmwspecialistreading.co.uk/bmw-apple-carpla... [/url]

Mine did not have wifi fitted so they added it, plus i chose the wide screen display option.

And Car Play works very well.
