This is a touchscreen multimedia head unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, made for BMW 3 Series and 4 Series cars. It has built-in DAB+ and comes in 10.25-inch and 8.8-inch screen sizes. CarPlay and Android Auto both work wirelessly or with a wired connection.
While the unit is inactive, the original video signal passes through unchanged and the car works as before. Once it is activated, its video signal shows on the display instead. To switch between it and the original head unit, press and hold the "Menu" key. The unit is an optional add-on to the original system.
When you reverse, the system switches to the camera automatically. It works with most steering wheel controls, the original iDrive knob, the original parking sensors and the original optical fiber system. The unit outputs sound through the car's AUX input, so the car must have an AUX function.
