Upgrade your BMW with a full Apple CarPlay and Android Auto screen replacement, designed to give your vehicle modern smartphone connectivity while retaining factory functionality.

Ideal for drivers who want wireless CarPlay and Android Auto without the clutter of Android apps or complicated menus, this system delivers an OEM-style experience built specifically for BMWs with NBT (ID4) EVO (ID5/ID6)

What Is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?

Apple CarPlay is a smarter, safer way to use your iPhone while driving. It mirrors your iPhone interface onto your BMW display, giving you access to navigation, calls, music, and messages using voice control, the touchscreen, or your iDrive controller.

carplay UI

Android Auto brings your Android apps to your car’s screen with a simplified, voice-activated interface. It allows you to use Google Maps, music, messaging apps, and more, either wired or wirelessly (depending on your phone).
