Toyota Supra CarPlay Activation (J29 / A90)
The Toyota Supra (J29 / A90) uses a BMW EVO head unit, so it can run genuine full-screen Apple CarPlay once the feature is activated in software — no box, dongle or adapter required. Prolazo activates native wireless CarPlay on your Supra's own iDrive-based system, making it fill the whole screen instead of the narrow strip most cars ship with. The activation is permanent, keeps every factory function, and is carried out remotely with your guidance from €24.99. Compatibility is confirmed from your car's real factory build using your VIN before anything is done.
Why the Toyota Supra can run BMW full-screen CarPlay
The fifth-generation Toyota Supra (chassis code J29, commonly known as the A90 and later A91) is built on shared BMW underpinnings and ships with a BMW EVO head unit — the same iDrive 5 / iDrive 6 platform found in BMW and MINI models. Because the hardware is identical, the same full-screen CarPlay activation that Prolazo performs on BMW NBT EVO systems applies directly to the Supra.
Toyota's factory software usually either hides CarPlay or limits it to a small split-screen tile. The activation unlocks the native CarPlay application so it fills the entire display, with the maps, music and messaging layout Apple intended. Everything is done on the car's existing head unit — there is nothing to plug in, wire or hide behind the dashboard.
What you get
- Full-screen Apple CarPlay — not the cramped split-screen view, but CarPlay across the whole iDrive display.
- Wireless and wired — your iPhone connects automatically over Wi-Fi after the first pairing, and a wired USB connection also works. (Wireless CarPlay needs your car to have a Wi-Fi antenna fitted.)
- A permanent activation — this is a genuine retrofit of your own head unit, not a subscription or temporary unlock, and it survives software updates.
- All factory functions kept — native navigation, radio, vehicle menus and settings continue to work exactly as before.
Optional extras on the same product include an ID6 menu theme (if you currently have the ID5 skin), Video-In-Motion, and updated map data.
How the activation works
Prolazo activations are done remotely — you do not need to visit anyone or ship your car. After purchase you receive the activation files together with step-by-step PDF instructions tailored to your head unit version.
- ENET method: most cars are activated over the internet using a BMW ENET cable and a Windows 10 or 11 laptop with an Ethernet port (or an Ethernet-to-USB adapter). You are guided through each step.
- USB method: some head-unit versions are activated simply by loading a file from a USB stick.
Which method applies depends on your exact head-unit software version, which we confirm before you start. Your iDrive data is backed up as part of the process so the original state can be restored at any time.
Check your Supra is compatible first
Compatibility is always confirmed from your car's real factory build — using your VIN and option codes — rather than a generic year-and-model guess. The best first step is to send us your VIN so we can confirm it for free.
You can also read your own head-unit version on the car: go to Navigation > Settings > Position and software version > Software version and look for a code like NBTEVO_X. Full-screen CarPlay support depends on this version together with the factory build. If you would rather let us do the checking, use our scan-your-car tool or enter your VIN on the product page.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Toyota Supra get Apple CarPlay activated?
Yes. The Toyota Supra (J29 / A90) uses a BMW EVO head unit, so native full-screen Apple CarPlay can be activated in software on the car's own system. Prolazo does this remotely from €24.99, and compatibility is confirmed from your VIN first.
Is this full-screen CarPlay or the small split-screen view?
It is full-screen. After activation, Apple CarPlay fills the entire Supra display instead of the narrow split-screen strip the factory software uses by default.
Do I need an adapter, box or dongle for Supra CarPlay?
No. This is a native software activation of your Supra's own BMW EVO head unit. There is nothing to plug in, wire or hide — the car uses hardware it already has.
Is CarPlay wireless or wired on the Supra after activation?
Both. Your iPhone connects wirelessly over Wi-Fi automatically after the first pairing, and a wired USB connection also works. Wireless CarPlay requires your car to be fitted with a Wi-Fi antenna.
How is the Supra CarPlay activation done — do I need to visit you?
It is done remotely. Most cars are activated over the internet using a BMW ENET cable and a Windows 10 or 11 laptop, with step-by-step guidance; some head-unit versions use a USB file instead. You never need to ship your car or visit in person.
Is the activation permanent, and does it keep factory features?
Yes. It is a genuine retrofit of your head unit, not a subscription or temporary unlock, and it survives software updates. All factory functions — navigation, radio and vehicle menus — continue to work as before.
How do I check my Supra is compatible?
Send us your VIN and we confirm compatibility for free from your car's real factory build. You can also read your head-unit version on the car under Navigation > Settings > Position and software version > Software version, where it appears as a code like NBTEVO_X.
