Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great functionality, some minor features, don't spend an extra $400 on Bimmertech

Good: works exactly as expected. Android Auto works flawlessly and wirelessly. I can't say anything about Carplay, I don't have an iPhone. Delivery was very fast, order placed on Saturday and delivered on Tuesday. .Update: I emailed the seller, the accessory problem was 100% because I'm an idiot. Additional cable did not have to be routed through the cabin. The reverse issue persists but is a minor annoyance and mostly just masks the time it takes to boot the device and connect my phone to the Android Auto wireless network. Upgrade to five stars. PSA: When installing this unit in a car with an HK head unit, the radio control cover is easy to remove and greatly opens up the space under the head unit. It would be difficult to fit much easier into my F22 2 series if I got it earlier. The bad: had to hide the aux cable running through the cabin, wasn't expecting this, wasn't shown in the installation videos and was quite disappointing. My car doesn't have a backup camera, every time I put reverse gear it switches back to iDrive until I put the car back in, it's automatic so it's not a big deal but there's no way to turn it off either. It took a lot of effort and trouble to install behind the HK head unit. errors.
