Road TopWireless Carplay Android Auto for BMW NBT System 3 4 5 6 7 Series X1 X3 X4 X5 X6 2012-2016, Support Mirrorlink, GPS/Navigation, Rear View Camera, YouTube

Short version: I’ve tried upgrading to ID6, didn’t work, getting a 12.3 android screen, worked poorly, finally got this and it works great.Long version: Okay so my original attempt at getting CarPlay for my 2016 F32 was to upgrade my iDrive4 to iDrive6. This worked for like a week and then it started glitching and failing. The online coder who didn’t tried fixing it twice but it ended up nuking my radio. CarPlay didn’t work, Bluetooth didn’t work, usb didn’t work, only the aux cable.Next I tried one of those 12.3 inch android screens. Thing was way too big BUT CarPlay worked. However it was laggy, screen was too bright at night even on dimmest setting, and my original system wouldn’t work (this was my fault, I bought an Evo when I should have bought and NBT version, I thought since I upgraded to iDrive6 I needed Evo but I didn’t).Finally I got this thing and boy do I wish I did this first and save months of headache. Install was easy and it’s not laggy at all. It utilizes the aux cord which is exactly what I needed since nothing else would have worked in my weird case (it’s easy to run it under the dash and to the glove box from the inside).Hiccup I had that might help people: If when you hold “menu” it goes black instead of to CarPlay, make sure your pins are set on the box to match your screen size, aka read the directions. If it’s still black, hold the back button down on your iDrive to reset the MMI box.

Excellent product. Installation not a 100% clear but enough to install. But once installed, I love it.

I have a 2016 BMW 528i and I just wanted android car play for my car to update the look and just to have... I must say this was very easy to install. Always follow the instructions and take your time! There are a few Youtubers out there that explain how to install and how to know if it's going to work for your car, make sure you do your research. Overall, after installation it worked right away and did everything it advertised. The only reason why I am giving it 4 stars out of 5 is because some times this contradicts itself with the cars OEM radio. Sometimes when you are moving in the menu of the androi play it is also moving in your normal radio and I've randomly called people without wanting to do it. It also has a a few issues connecting sometimes but for the most part it connects it just takes about 3 min or so. I would say if you are going to use set your default radio to AUX so you don't have the issues I was having. Also, if your car has the heads up display this takes away the function where you can see the "next track" and track name you are playing. But overall it does what it needs to do and it works!

This product sucks big time. To begin with; The setup instructions are not very clear. The connection to the phone is not reliable. After turning the vehicle off and turning it back on later the Apple CarPlay would not turn on 9 out of 10 times. Tech support in no were to be found. You will get frustrated with this product. DONT BUY IT!

I was a bit worried when I bought this item because it was so much cheaper than the Bimmertech version. The wiring harness is a beast. Once installed though, it works amazing. I have the NBT EVO version, but it does have the 6 pin, so it works great. They say you need the AUX cable to the AUX port, but I didn't need it at all. I just switch it to AUX and the music plays perfectly. When I go in reverse, the factory camera displays perfectly. I see the guide lines and all. When using wireless, it uses BT and Wifi to work. The Wifi is to display images and video and BT is for audio and calls. I do Rideshare and I hate the voice prompts from the GPS. This box allows me to use the steering wheel Mode button to switch between XM Sat radio or Aux but still have Android Auto as the main screen. I highly recommend this product. The original BMW nav is terrible. The BMW BT is terrible. Because my phone is newer, I have to re-pair it everytime I get in the car. With this box, my BT connects immediately and Android Auto comes on by default.

This works for my BMW the Android auto is working fine but it caused an issue where I can't set date and time now and other functions on my display aren't letting me select including being able to see trip info

It worked really well. Installation took about 2 hours. I've never installed a radio before in a car, so if you have done that before, then I'm sure it will take you less time. Everything worked: the steering wheel button and microphone without the need to rewire the audio and mic. I would for sure recommend this to anyone. It gave my car that much-needed refresh to Android Auto without purchasing a new car.

This product is much cheaper than the bimmertech MMI box. I had one bimmertech reverse camera mmi box installed in my bmw f25/X3. But it failed recently after 5 years. Their product is 600 and more. I decided to get this product instead. The installation is easy and smooth. Now I have reverse camera view and apple carplay both. The only cons for me is there is no lines to reminder you when you turning steering while reversing(used aftermarket reverse camera) but it is not a problem for experienced driver.
