Road Top 10.25" Linux CarPlay Screen for BMW 1/2 Series with NBT System | F20/F21/F22 2013-2015 Year, Car Stereo Multimedia Radio Receiver, Support Wireless Android Auto, Mirrorlink

Had a couple of minor issues but only with software settings etc. The actual nstall was so easy, literally just unplugging the harness and whacking an extra one on and plugging it in again. Dash pulled apart simply with only 6 screws to remove. Took me a while to get the resolution sorted as oem screen was green and purple but after setting it to the correct resolution and leaving the car to completely shut down for 5 mins then power on and now works flawlessly. Im lucky to have oem Bluetooth but looks like the install for aux is super easy too once cable is routed. All great so far!

Great screen, relatively straight forward to install and decent instructions provided. The connectivity with original Idrive is good and works well. Sound quality and picture quality of screen is excellent. Fits in BMW 1 Series F20 LCI very well. I had one problem which customer support were able to help with quickly and easily.

It’s fairly easy to install. I ended up watching loads of videos online to better understand the installation. I have had a few hiccups with the product since installing it, but I’ve managed to fix them since. Service were very quick to help me with my issues once I emailed them too.

This is a great product. Installation was a doddle. I just watched a random YouTube tutorial 2 hours later (being nervous and never having done it before) and it was done. Not without its teething problems. 1st things firs, MAKE SURE ALL YOUR CONNECTIONS ARE FIRM! I didn't and as a result the iDrive decided to have a seizure every few minutes so there was no sound, when using indicators they were going a million miles a minute, and although the CarPlay was working, no sound. I was about ready to do a BMW delete and go buy a Mercedes with a CarPlay already installed. I persisted, took the dash apart and checked all connections after speaking with their (very good) customer support. Sure enough, as soon as I lifted the screen the power cable dropped out. That was my problem, loose connection. If the original wiring loom has fibre cables (or something) these need to be moved to the wiring harness supplied. If your car has these and you don't move them over, the dash may not work or partially work or something (I don't know, my car didn't have them - THANK GOD - But the tutorial looked simple enough) So its arrived and you've installed it, it seems to be working but no sound? This was our trouble, here's the fix I had to hunt for so you don't have to. FIRST, go onto the device's settings, set to use Car BT or something (this makes it so siri will run through the car as well and read your messages etc...) Then, make sure your phone is connected to the cars original interface Bluetooth setup for the base sound, this is primary for all of the other audio (music, videos etc...). LEAVE DISPLAY SETTINGS ALONE. DO NOT TOUCH. In settings also change the setting for 'mute when switching to original interface'. This device also acts like a bit of a hub for the car, it recognises when your lights are on, when doors are open etc... which explains the indicator issue we were having. ANYWAY... if you open a door and the device tells you its the left door when you opened the right door, you can swap it over in settings or turn the feature off all together. Now the product. We paid full price - GUTTED. What a steal even still! Works flawlessly with the car, takes a little longer to boot (maybe 10 seconds after start and its good). Works seamlessly with the original interface, so carplay when you need it and original interface when you need that. For example, putting the car in reverse immediately brings up the original interface with the sensors, camera. We've been using without fault now (since I checked the connections) for 3 days. I cannot recommend enough. I hope this has helped someone because trying to figure this out on my own made me bald.

BAD…!!! 👎🏻 Big mistake in buying this. The AirPlay doesn’t play sound and the connection problems are terrible. I was told to update the firmware which I have done and it is still awful. I have to reconnect every time I get in my car. I am even thinking of going back to my old Screen. 😡😡

Support via WhatsApp was good. Have a two door and the original setup is for a 4 door. Support sent me an updated firmware to install. Make sure the usb ports are accessible after installation as you’ll need these for any future updates etc. Powers and displays an aftermarket reversing camera which is good. Bigger screen is nice and bright and the touchscreen works well Pairing to CarPlay seems fairly stable. Few issues initially but seems okay. Am using Bluetooth to play audio from the phone so not sure if that’s having an affect on it. But all in all a nice addition the the 2 series. Makes a big difference to the feel of the interior – the oem system is unintuitive and clunky. Missing several modern features. This system brings it bang up to date. Only slight issue to overcome is the screen is very glossy and seems to reflect a lot of glare from the sun when driving with the light behind you. Will see if this is an issue at time goes on but not the fault of the manufacturer.

Great CarPlay screen replacement, it did take me 2 and a half hours to fit but mainly because I’ve never done something like this before, it was because of wire placement etc, once fitted it works perfectly and is way better then the original screen, would recommend and there’s no delay on the screen and it’s very easy to use, it definitely works with the I drive buttons and steering wheel, would recommend

I love how big and clear the screen is. I desperately wanted it to work well, but after fitting I wasn’t able to control my iDrive system with the turn wheel anymore. The Apple CarPlay is good but laggy. I swapped it back to the original screen and my iDrive started to work again. To be clear, the turn wheel did work at first, but then somehow stopped working after a few minutes
