Hello folks,

I just bought a 2013 JCW. In fact I haven't even seen it yet, but it looks pretty spiffy! I think I'm in the right place for questions?


-I have an R56, right?
-Can I install Apple Carplay for my iPhone? What are some purchase links? It all seems rather confusing.
-What are some things to watch out for mechanically?
-What are these gorgeous flares (and rims)? Are they hard to install?

Thanks!!

-Can I install Apple Carplay for my iPhone? What are some purchase links? It all seems rather confusing. Yes, do you have Nav screen or stardard speedo?
-What are some things to watch out for mechanically? Waterpump, theromstats, and waterpipe
-What are these gorgeous flares (and rims)? Are they hard to install? Ascetic Creations and they are not really a good place to deal with. They show pics and never follow through with orders.

 

Welcome. So far I see two different vehicles. You said "In fact I haven't even seen it yet". Which one did you buy and how did you buy it without seeing it? While I'm not 100% sure, I believe the vehicle either has Apple Car Play, or it doesn't. You can go to Monroney and pull your window sticker and see what your car has.
