Easy if you have instructions!

I know it sounds trite, but I rarely review products. I received the item as quickly as I would expect from a foreign seller. Installation was relatively easy for a beginner BMW after watching a few YouTube videos of similar products. The main problem was that the kit did not come with instructions showing how to set up the device for my car. After some trial and error I gave up and sent a message to the seller who was quick to reply with instructions on the DIP switch settings. After installing dips I was ready to go. I just installed last night but so far so good. For less than $300 and a bit of effort I was able to upgrade my 10 year old base x5 35d. I now have voice commands via Android Auto, GPS via Google Maps, Bluetooth and a rear view camera with a separately purchased camera. All this without cutting the factory cables and keeping all the features of the I-Drive OEM.

Pros
  • MIRROR/CAMERA FUNCTION
Cons
  • Almost never
