(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Fairly straight forward???Only if you are mechanically and/or electrically inclined.Also super helpful if you read Mandarin Chinese, as the instructions suck.Other than that….It works great and is a massive upgrade over the stock screen

3.0 out of 5 stars It’s just ok

I love the concept, after having this a few months here are some things I’ve noticed. Sometimes it drops the connection to your phone meaning that you have to go back into the original radio side to make sure that you are connected per the instruction’s. The mirror option when you go to play streaming apps such as Apple TV has no volume and most of the newer apps block the mirror option. I am working on a work around to add a fire stick to it but I will see how that goes. Not a bad unit but could be better.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm very happy.!

Extraordinary.Very easy to install (I did it myself). I used a video to learn how to remove the car's dashboard without breaking it, and the rest was just disconnecting and reconnecting the cables to the connectors it comes with.So far, the only thing I haven't been able to connect easily is the Waze audio (meaning, Waze works, but I can't hear what it says), and I also haven't been able to sync the audio for phone calls (meaning, I can't hear or hear my phone conversations). I haven't had time to check if I'm missing something to sync or reconnect, but it really hasn't been a big deal to give it the time.It still fits perfectly in the car and has really refreshed the car, making it very modern and functional with new technologies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Could improve but a lot better than original

Installation is easy and fits perfect! but reference videos are no profesional and you can make mistakes. Written instructions are not enough to DIY.Audio quality improved a lot you will love it.From reverse camera to CarPlay back takes 20 seconds (whole live when you are driving) I expect vendor read this to improve firmware.You can’t change startup screen and is terrible, fortunately it appears a few seconds.From time to time it looses connection with iPhone.Regardless improvements pending it a lot better than OEM, so I’ll buy it again.It uses battery same as OEM, I read a review on this and that works perfect.12 inches screen in BMW x4 f26 with CarPlay and IPhone

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Upgrade

I have and older BMW and would highly recommend this screen upgrade. It looks like it belongs as part of the standard system while giving you the ability to use carplay/android auto. The screen is a good size and looks better than current BMW models. Works with current controls while still having the ability to use the original screen functions. I have average mechanical capabilities and managed to get installed on about 2 hours. I watched the videos and took my time. I did have issues with system using the screen mics (way too much road noise). Sent an email to the address provided and got a quick response which walked me through a setting to adjust the bluetooth connection in the system settings to use the car mic for original sound. Have used it on several road trips and very happy. Definite upgrade.

3.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for

It does work. It looks great imo installed. It’s not hard to install but tricky to get everything in place. Screen quality is great. Audio actually sounds better. It does fully use Bluetooth for sound. All original idrive is retained. Now for the bad: It’s clunky to operate. You have to use your cars Bluetooth connection in order to get sound for Car Play. That’s makes things confusing and annoying. It leads to laggy delays while switching from source to source. CarPlay usually disconnects and requires the car to be shut off, door opened and then restarted in order for it work again and not divert the audio back to your phone. The startup screen is very generic and not user defined. Looks cheap, out of place and not OE. When using Siri to send or answer messages, a popping/crack happens sometimes to remind you of your choice. AirPlay does not work at all which is greatly disappointing. I wish I had gotten the Android version instead.
