That repeating noise with the exclamation mark on your cluster happens when you have your driver side door open with the ignition on and usually if you turn on ignition before closing your door, when you close the door the ignition will turn off and you'll have to turn on again. Easy solution is to close drivers door before turning on ignition and you'll have no gong noise.

I thought that unit need the control unit of the models that came with the smaller screen.. really helpful think il be doing my 2012 1 series

I installed on my X3 E83, and really doesnt need the radio anymore, actually the display of the radio works, but the rest is pretty much disabled, so if I was you would just replace the little knob on it. Love your videos man!

Great video! The iPhone needs to connect to the screen WiFi network to be able to send/receive data, it's the same in the newer BMWs also!

I’ve fitted similar to my other half’s 125i. It’s OK, in some ways I prefer it to a double din install because it’s higher up the dash but they are quite big. The double sun is less reversible too because you need to cut away some of the dash.

Hey man, Very cool and daring vid (without instruction manual). Since i opted for wireless bluetooth connect (to play music via my phone) I had to use the AUX as well behind the handbrake. I pried it open (mine has an AUX and a sigarette lighter) and used an AUX splitter to connect it neatly under the middle console. Might give you some idea's. Oh and you're spot on about that damn plug on the middle airvent.

Well that was triple speed and as clear as mud. Definitely not for the uninitiated. Nice to see someone who knows what they are doing.

Would this work with the oem i drive controller from the nav option cars? Or does it have to use its own idrive.

I wonder that did you cut the console, in order to fit it in. I got this but I can’t fit it without console cutting.

Definitely get a new second hand stereo

I watched A similar video by Carl is Onit,and he found somebody to build a trim ppiece to accept the I drive in a RHD vehicle.

I’ve got a 120d with the bigger wider screen which is deeper set in the dash could I replace it with this?

Hey man how are the speakers on the e82 compared to ur 4 series

Does the android unit play sound through aux of the head unit? Or do you know if it can done? the head unit usually act like an amplifier because there are two subwoofers under the seat

You can do away with aux lead very easily no need to run cable

hi, be interested to find out how you got on and where you bought from as I'm having trouble with mine which I bought from Droid, cheers in advance

There is an electrical connector in the storage bin for the light

There is a guy selling one of these that i am very intrested in but it was bought for a modell with the original cic display and my e82 only has the storage box there. Was just wondering if u knew if it would fit and Connect to my modell?

I have this screen installed, but when I insert my key and not turn on my car yet, radio gets power and so does the screen. Which means it drains my battery. How do I fix this so that I can insert my key, not start the car and make the screen stay off until I put my car on contact/start it. BMW e81! Thanks!

I have a question haha, ive just installed the headunit and im wondering how i can get the audio to go through the car speakers? I only have the aux connected and i dont have a usb idk how that works. Thanksss

Is there another way to get soundout Either than the aux route?

Unrelated, by chance do you know the wiring for the stock halos? I fitted some euro spec clears to my pre facelift 135i

They could have made a bracket to fit it where the radio is and throw the radio away. Like the Mercedes cars have the screen sticking out of the dash.

I’m pretty sure there is something you need to connect in order for the CarPlay to work, I just can’t remember which one of the 50 things it was

Could you just use a genuine BMW RHD iDrive controller from a breaker?

looks really cool, but it would annoy the hell out of me how slow it is to boot up, it would be back out in a week lol.

Hello mate , I just installed one for my bmw , but I got issues with sound , there is no sound at all , music playing but not sound , any suggestions please . Thanks

Where I can do this modification for my BMW 318i 2007 model

Mate the reason your wifi keeps turning off on the head unit is its trying to connect to your CarPlay. And CarPlay generally uses Bluetooth first and then finalised the connection over wifi to the head unit. So if you just want your head-unit to use as standalone android system then just turn off Apple CarPlay on the phone. And use it to Hotspot the the android system 🤞🏽
