ninetom10.25 inch Touchscreen Wireless CarPlay Android Auto Multimedia Car Radio Receiver Compatible with BMW 3/4 Series NBT System, F30/F31/F32/F33/F34/F35/F36 (2013-2016)

It is an affordable and fast system that focus in providing CarPlay and and Android Car system, basically mirroring your phone. If you want a system that works with apps and other features WITHOUT having your phone connected it will not work. Why would need to install apps in this unit if you already have a phone with it. Nevertheless, if you need that extra stuff for a much higher price, buy an android OS system.Important for this to connect the audio you must USE the Aux cable provided. The original Bluetooth of the BMW does only do phone conversations and does not play audio. You can hack your car to activate that feature, but this is something not related to this product.Highly recommended and added a few pictures showing the aux install and how to change the logo when you boot up the unit. Save the correct format picture to a USB stick and connect it to the USB1 cable.

Excelent upgrade from my faded, sun-cracked screen on my BMW. Truly plug-n-play, just read and follow the instructions. Android Auto connects automatically in less than a minute. I do recommend this screen upgrade; wish I've done it sooner.

The downfall of this unit retaining the Factory system is that the audio works through the Aux input. Sometimes you have to jump between the two systems to keep things working, making it a bit tedious for the average user. Having some tech savvy will probably be required, boomers with daily email problems need to avoid. Because BMW is BMW, several of the car features must be accessed from the factory side and that's why this must run a dual system. It does add a ton of features but surprisingly you loose audio level readout on the screen unless you are in the BMW system mode. Quite the improvement in screen size and resolution on the Android side but the factory side does not gain resolution so can look a bit pixelated. All in all though, if you want wireless CarPlay in you BMW, this is the best way to get it! Make sure you get a version of this with the Android OS, there are some that have a feature diluted Linux OS. The Android version lets you have the full Play Store so you can download any app you want, the linux version does not. BE AWARE.

Great product, Fantastic quality! Its crazy that you can upgrade your screen and add Car Play without losing your factory functions for less than $300! make sure you get the correct orientation of the fiber optic wires... this is the only part of the installation that could be difficult.

Pretty simple to install with a couple caveats.Be very careful with where you're putting your trim pieces. I accidentally scratched up my climate control panel so I had to order a replacement because the leds shine through the cracks at night.Also I'm not a fan of the audio settings. There's no speaker isolation and I can't seem to get the EQ settings right to sound more full.The unit itself isn't too bad to install. MAKE SURE you move the green fiber optic cables to the new harness!!! Also, you need to change the resolution of idrive in the settings or you'll get the screen flicker like other reviews. That's user error.Enjoying it so far 👍

I was shocked how easy this was. Took 1 hour.The only thing I had to do for full integration was change the resolution settings to work with car original menus and camera .Setup - Car Settings - Original Car Screens Resolution - 1289x480NBT

Turns off randomly stops working and music doesn’t play and apple car play doesn’t work every time I have to factory reset to get it to work. And then it only last a day or 2 before issues again.Pretty sure mine is defective
