Nice try but needs work.

I ended up sending this back and getting the Road Top Wireless Carplay Retrofit Kit Decoder for BMW NBT 3 4 5 6 7 Series X1 X3 X4 X5 X6 2012-2016 system, iOS 13 14 support get , Instead Android Auto, AirPlay, Mirroring, Rear View, USB Storage, Firmware Update https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084M1M4P9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_VQ9AJVZB0GY7NT0G0AWR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1. RoadTop is cheaper and more powerful. , retains the original menus and screen aspect ratio. Simply press and hold the menu button on the iKnob to toggle between the device and original BMW menus and screens. CarPlay Auto also connects and has screen mirroring so you can mirror your phone's screen. This unit I'm returning gets 5 stars for the effort but has kinks I couldn't stand. The original BMW menus are cropped and the screen is misaligned. Wi-Fi on the device is disabled by default when you start the car, so every time you have to go into settings and enable WiFi to connect your phone. CarPlay requires you to use an app on the Android system, which is why CarPlay does not work by default and also because the phone never connects automatically as Wi-Fi is disabled by default. The OEM rear view camera is tiny and misaligned as well.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Quality
