can you add CarPlay WITHOUT navigation?

Looking at X3's. Dealer says you need Navigation to make CarPlay work.
reading after market sites/add-ons - but very confused.

anyone get CarPlay to work (mirroring apple phone to screen) wirelessly without having factory navigation??

THANKS!

Any photos or details to show the mirroring device? I would be interested in getting android auto on X3!

I don't have any picks. I did that a few years ago and I have upgraded it to a new 12.3" screen. Its an AvinUSA with a Android operating system. You retain all of the BMW Idrive systems. It is also very easy to install all plug & play
