Why does my device only display in half-screen on the car's screen instead of full-screen?
Why does my device only display in half-screen on the car's screen instead of full-screen?
The issue is related to the display settings of the original CarPlay system in your BMW car. BMW models produced before 2020 have a restriction on the CarPlay display area, which results in the half-screen view. To enable full-screen CarPlay, you will need to activate the full-screen display using a BMW certificate.
We recommend that you search online for service providers who offer full-screen activation for BMW vehicles. They can assist in unlocking the full-screen feature for you.
