SLI and Apple car play retrofit?

Hi everyone.

I picked up a new 340i M Sport Shadow Edition last month and the car was dealer speck sitting in storage.

It pretty much had everything I wanted down to LBB as an individual paint option but no SLI or Apple car play which I had on my X6 and M3.

Does any know know or recommend anywhere to get these retrofitted? I'm not technically gifted enough to try myself!

Googled a couple of places but first email back quoted £3,805 for SLI and £1,200 for Apple car play!!!

I brought this from eBay for £40.

Works better if you have the WiFi antenna or have the WiFi prep. Some say it works with just BT but wireless carplay is suppose to run over the WiFi with initial handshake via BT.

Be careful which carplay activation you get, not all back up your factory FSC codes and then leave you in a mess if the dealer updates the car.

Wibbles, I've seen other posts that mention you as the man in the know on this sort of stuff! Is this something you could help me out with? Thanks
