Review on Android 9.0 BMW 3/4 M3 M4 NBT Multimedia Player 4+64G Black Screen GPS Navigation Display Audio Video Stereo for 2012-2016 F30/F31/F32/F33/F34/F36/F80/F82/F83/F84 by Kevin Fuentes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Worthy aftermarket unit but a little difficult to navigate the touchscreen

The user interface is pretty good and the original idrive screen mirroring is very good. The screen is slightly higher than the original screen, so the image is slightly stretched vertically. The biggest problem I have is the screen goes black for 30-60 seconds in Android mode. **Note: The black screen issue appears to be resolved. I get an OBD connection error with BimmerLink that the upper main unit is not communicating. The recommended rear view camera is also pointed too far towards the ground. I would try to find the one with the best angle. You can also get CarPlay to work, but you'll have to go through a few menus to get it through the Zlink Android software. I'd rather have CarPlay appear when I plug in my phone.

Pros
  • . It is designed to replace the original screen to update Android 10.25 inch screen and keep the original OEM CD/Radio main unit, plug and play directly, no coding or programming required, more non-destructive installation. Retain and compatible with original radio features such as iDrive handle control, Bluetooth, radio, OEM rear view camera, radar, steering wheel controls. After the screen is updated, both original radio functions and Android system functions can be used with a simple switch.
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
