Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 33 reviews.
This is an amazing product! I am so glad I purchased it. The screen quality of this 12.3 wireless carplay and sound are top-notch, and even my original backup camera looks significantly better now. Installation was a breeze, and the shipment arrived extremely fast. I also want to give a huge shout-out to the Technical Support team; they were incredibly helpful and responsive, especially considering the time difference. Five plus stars!

Excellent to deal with, only people that could tell me the one I need NBT/CIC EVO. Well done. Easy ish install and works great. Looks amazing.
BMW 3 / 4 Series | F3X/F8X | 10.25"/12.3" Linux CarPlay/Android Touchscreen Display | 2011 - 2020
The delivery was fast. The screen arrived well-packaged. Installation took about half an hour. I didn't expect it, but the image quality is excellent, the touch screen works smoothly without any glitches or freezes. It rebooted a few times when first turned on, but has been working flawlessly since then. I recommend purchasing this model.

BMW 3 / 4 Series | F3X/F8X | 10.25"/12.3" Linux CarPlay/Android Touchscreen Display | 2011 - 2020
Had it connected by a professional as it wasn't that easy and lost screws through the dashboard, works perfectly but would recommend one with a reversing camera, 5 stars so far, android auto works straight away, and all car features work with it like controlling it with the i drive knob and touch screen, bmw 3 series 2013 ( i blurred the map on screen)
BMW 3 / 4 Series | F3X/F8X | 10.25"/12.3" Linux CarPlay/Android Touchscreen Display | 2011 - 2020

Superb screen very high quality would definitely recommend. A few problems to start with but we’re quickly dealt with superb customer service. Delivery time is a bit long but definitely worth the wait.
This product is sensational, it truly is a retrofit and looks amazing in my F30. Like always nothing YouTube can’t solve for installation but once you get thru that you can explore it’s awesome functions. Finally I have apple AirPlay in my car. Thank you.
Everything works great, easy install, great fitment!
wonderful product! The unit starts fast just like the oem and everything is easy to install and setup. I ran into a screen pairing problem and contacted the seller. They replied promptly with real advice and solution that med me feel very confident about the product. And finally after a few tweaking in the factory settings menu, everything is setup perfectly!! Thank you so much!! Will buy again!
Very nice unit. Crisp. Clear and allows apple car play! Thank god for you tube as it came with zero instructions

It fits and works just like I hoped it would. The head unit does a lot more than I expected it to.
BMW 3 / 4 Series | F3X/F8X | 10.25"/12.3" Linux CarPlay/Android Touchscreen Display | 2011 - 2020
Touch screen is very high quality. Wiring is of high quality and plugs secure nicely. Instructions need to be reviewed and make sure they are step by step. Not showing how to program while still in install steps. Also include all cables. Mine did not show what to do with audio out and usb cable. After reviewing several different videos I figured it out. Overall I am very happy with fit and finish and operation.

BMW 3 / 4 Series | F3X/F8X | 10.25"/12.3" Linux CarPlay/Android Touchscreen Display | 2011 - 2020
It works perfectly once you disable the Bluetooth on the device, so all the sound goes through the car's original Bluetooth. The Android Auto part works with touch control, which is perfect.

Bought this display for my f36 bmw. Display works great, android auto works well, installation is relatively simple, both built in nbt evo id6 and the screen's system work with the display, and can be switched by long pressing "menu" button. I recommend this product to everyone interested.
BMW 3 / 4 Series | F3X/F8X | 10.25"/12.3" Linux CarPlay/Android Touchscreen Display | 2011 - 2020
Assembled in a short time by watching tutorials on YouTube, also mounted the camera, works quite well. CarPlay excellent, sounds good, very comfortable screen, fast response. Recommended.

BMW 3 / 4 Series | F3X/F8X | 10.25"/12.3" Linux CarPlay/Android Touchscreen Display | 2011 - 2020
I had a car stereo guy install this head unit in my wife's car. Install went well and it looks and fits great, but some of the buttons on the steering wheel no longer work and there is something wrong with the microphone as I can barely hear her when she calls, and voice control doesn't work as I don't think it can hear her voice.
BMW 3 / 4 Series | F3X/F8X | 10.25"/12.3" Linux CarPlay/Android Touchscreen Display | 2011 - 2020
Excellent thread and product
It was a quite easy install if you follow some youtube videos. The provided booklet wasnt really helpfull. Its really just another screen which fits perfectly and one additional wiring adapter. You dont have to wire yourself at all which is amazing! (Excpet you have a Harman Kardon system). It would be great if I could choose that it automatically starts in the bmw menu or carplay menu itself when I start the car and not in the OS of the Screen which you are definetly not used to. Overall Good!
