10.25" Linux Screen for BMW F30 F31 F32 F33 F34 F35 F36 F20 F21 F22 | 2012-2017 ID4 NBT CIC, Support iOS 26 Wired and Wireless CarPlay Retrofit Android Auto, OEM BT 328i 320i Accessories Radio

I recently installed this Apple CarPlay screen in my 2014 BMW 435i, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The installation was surprisingly easy—even for someone with limited experience working on car electronics. The instructions were clear, and everything fit perfectly into the existing setup without the need for any major modifications. Once installed, the screen booted right up and connected seamlessly with my iPhone. The interface is smooth, responsive, and looks like it came straight from the factory—very clean and modern. It integrates beautifully with the rest of the car’s interior. Troubleshooting and adjusting settings was also a breeze. I had a couple of questions during setup, but everything was intuitive, and the system is very user-friendly. Now I’ve got full access to navigation, music, messages, and calls, all through a crisp and vibrant display. It works flawlessly and makes driving so much more convenient and enjoyable. Highly recommend this upgrade if you’re looking to modernize your BMW without spending a fortune. Excellent value for the price!

Great upgrade, no lag (no more than any other cars OEM CarPlay), fits perfectly, no audio quality issues, no screen resolution issues coming from the 6.5” OEM screen, no coding needed, CarPlay automatically pulls up 2-3 seconds after starting the car. Minor troubleshooting after install (as expected). The only really annoying step was getting the back cover on the Pemp Unit, it’s a very tight fit, but looks good when it’s done. No random disconnect issues (yet). I see some talking about audio quality issues, mine sounds exactly the same and uses the cars original Bluetooth connection. Easy to get back to the OEM menu, just hold down the menu button on your center console controller, OEM car menu does not look stretched or low quality, it looks better than before. The only troubleshooting I ran into was both the OEM and Pemp unit were trying to connect to my phone which caused an issue, but I just went into the settings on the Pemp home screen and changed it to use my cars Bluetooth by default. Screen quality at night looks better than my phone camera can capture, it looks like the same quality as an iPad.

This is one of the best purchases I have every made. But first things first. The packaging and presentation are first class. I was really surprised. These folks know how to ship a quality product with again, first class packaging. Packaging alone gets five stars. Now to the product. I’ve watched a ton of videos on the installation. And, frankly, it was not that difficult. My biggest concern was removing the trim panel from the dash, and it came off in a snap. No pry tools required, I just pulled it off. Guess I was just lucky. Remember, with any installation follow the instructions. Many of us do not like to even read instructions. This is a must for this installation to come out perfect. A pry tool and Torg driver is included in the kit. Then came, as instructed, the removal of the screws and the connectors. The connectors required some choice language, however, in the end, and with determination, and the use of a small pick tool to push down on the little lever that holds the connector in place, I managed to get them all out. I can personally say, that patience in disconnecting the connectors is required. These things were made “not” to be disconnected….(lol). Nonetheless, after all the connectors and screws removed, comes the removal of the radio unit and the connection of the large radio connectors, and switch over of the fiber optic cables. That went pretty well. One note…make sure the connections are in firmly. I actually had to redo mine because they were not in tight enough. I read this in another post, and the manufacturer also makes mention of it. Otherwise, your sound and video display may not work properly. Another note is that make sure all the cables are pushed back down in the radio cavity, otherwise the radio unit will not fit properly. It may take a few tries to get all the cables in order, but there is sufficient room for everything to fit. Before I reassembled everything, I checked to make sure it all worked. It was, in a word “perfect”. A bit of tweaking was required with the Apple Car Play and the OEM display, but didn’t take much to straighten that out. I’m not a fan of Apple Car Play. I much prefer the OEM display. But either is clear and crisp. Great color and resolution. They mention to select the proper resolution for the display, but mine seemed to do it for me. The boot was quick and all was good. The original display was weak and you could barely see it at times. I have a 2015 BMW F33 428i hardtop convertible, so when the top is down, the display just disappeared because of the sunlight. With this new display, I am a happy camper. The new display unit itself, seems to sit more erect than at a slant. Which may account for the better display and Mr. Sun not washing out the screen. One note, make sure you put on the back trim cover. I almost forgot. The head unit display overall is physically a little larger than the original, about a half inch (horizontally). And in fact, looks larger and more impressive than the original manufacturer display. I definitely made the right choice here. I purchased the 9213 model and not the Android model. Some cables like the AUX and Apple Car Play cable I did not even connect. I have an iPhone and it’s all wireless. This is a super benefit. You have the options for wired or wireless. And I can choose between the OEM display (my preference) or the Apple Car Play display. My only concern is one…there is a plug/connector that is labeled “I-drive”. It’s a four-pin connector, and have no clue as to where it goes. If someone can let me know if this is an optional connector, perhaps, that would put my mind to rest. Otherwise, I will be thinking I did not connect something. My I-drive and all the selective buttons for Media, Radio, Navigation etc. all work perfectly. So again, what’s with this additional connector. All the steering buttons work as they should. This is my first BMW. While it may be a 2015, I’ve had it into the original dealer and they tell me it’s in perfect shape and well maintained. This was formerly a leased vehicle till I purchased it. So, it was very well maintained by the owners and the dealer. It does have a wee over 90000 miles, but driving it, you would never know. I did think twice before I decided to upgrade the display unit. Finally. Anyone with a minimal amount of skill, and the competence to follow directions, along with a full glass of patience can do this install. It’s actually quite simple. In fact, the sound is even better. I have the Harmin Kardin radio option and it’s just wonderful. The seller is well prepared to answer any questions and give guidance on the install. Like I mentioned earlier, I watched a bunch of videos on You Tube and asked Rufus (AI) loads of questions about the install. Rufus, however, could not give an answer on the I-drive connector. That’s still an ongoing concern/mystery. You cannot go wrong with this product. I looked at a good many that are for sale here and other places. This vendor was my final choice. Their customer service offerings, and the overall reviews about the product sold me. I would definitely give this a five-star times five rating. So, you get a super quality product, in super quality packaging, at a super price, and super-fast shipping accompanied with super customer service. That’s all Folks…I rest my case…. super. Update: Now that this unit has been installed and working great...here are a few additional observations/comments. As mentioned previous there was a bit of tweaking to get things just right. That was with the assistance of the great customer service department. They mention that they will get back in 24 hrs...however, it was just a matter of a few hours in most inquiries...very impressive to get this kind of support and resolve to my issues. You can contact customer service on any issue any time. And here in lies a simple concern. The unit comes with everything you need to install the unit, which was quite easy and done in less than an hour. You get an instruction sheet and tools. Who gives you tools for installation? All of this is great. However the one thing I found that would be a great compliment to all of this, is a user manual or operations manual. Without one you have to contact customer service with any questions or help. While I mention, these folks are great, howerver a user/operations manual would save a ton of phone calls. Some questions I had, would have been resolved with this manual...I've discovered a few things with the setup and operations with the hunt and peck method. I have also changed the splash logo on the start up of the unit. See photo below. Also a susggestion, look at the bottom of menu screens, because there are additional pages that you can scroll through such as the sound equalizer which gives you preloaded sound themes or customize your own. Which I found just by paging through the screens. An instructional/user manual would have cut down on the discovery of this great tool. While the BMW does have a set up and/instructional manual in the idrive unit, having a hand held manual is so much better (just my opinion). I suppose being tech naive as I am in new equipment setup, I'm sure I am not alone in this area of upgrades. Aside from not having a manual of operations/instructions....I find no fault with this unit for "my" use. I am not a fan of Apple Car Play, so I do not have it checked in the systems operations. I use strictly the OEM Setup. Although, I do find it quite accommodating, that, should I change my mind, I have the option. I did attach the USB cable to the back of the unit. That is the only way you can download a new start up logo. You have to use the USB port on the cable, not the Car Play USB . I have also downloaded a new map update to the navigation system. This you can download using the USB in the center console, also any music you wish to download, can be updated the same way...through the console USB. The harness cable comes with a plug/socket that was labled "idrive". Customer service told me that, this is for future or alternate vehicle models and not for my F33 428i convertible. So that plug is ignored during installation. Additionally, the head unit has three plug sockets. One for the main harness, one for the USB cable and one, that is not used at all. I thought originally I was missing something, again Customer Service indicated that socket is not used. I do have a Linux system, so perhaps in the Android this may be different. It is always best to inquire first with Customer Service on any assembly questions before you put everything back together. Can't say enough about the Customer Service group, they do not mind giving assistance on any inquiry. It's rare to find service like this. However, if I had an operations/user manual, It would have saved me from contacting these folks....(hint...hint...). I bought a no glare film to put on the unit. The one I purchased looked very nice...however, save your money. The display is much better without it. Or perhaps a better quality film would have brought about better results. While I have constant sunshine, there is a certain amount of glare from the screen. My resolve is, you can live with it. I have polorized sun glasses and that works to some extent. At night the screen if fantastic and the screen changes automatically from daytime to nightime... Finally, and I suppose my comments show, the only thing that I can find "wrong" with this unit is no users manual. But as mentioned above about the glare, I can live without one...perhaps...lol. This is a super unit with a super price. This is a no brainer...go get one.

Updated to 4 stars. I was having connectivityissues and with AndroidAuto cutting audio out. After a few reconnects, resets, and frustrations I finally disabled the auto-play on connection and now everything seems to work great. If I press play too soon after it boots up then I might see audio cut out, so the solution was just to wait a minute after it boots up to press play. My guess is a software/timing conflict and it needs a minute to fully boot. Other than that it seems to be working great. Installation was pretty easy and instructions were clear enough. The location of the vehicle connector to the back on the screen is placed in a spot that makes it difficult to plug in. Screen fitment is good and looks OEM, however I can not get the provided connector cover to go into place. Instructions for operation and settings are not the clearest and take some deciphering. Overall software functionality and response of the unit is good. Menu navigates without and lag, transitioning between the OEM iDrive and the PEMP unit works great. Screen quality is great and clear, touchscreen is responsive and accurate. Android Auto through wireless works when it wants to. Sometimes you get audio, sometimes the audio works for about 3 seconds and then disappears and wont come back, and then when trying to reboot the screen it locks up and wont do anything. When AA works, it will stop playback after about 2 minutes time, and I have to hit play again. I've verified it current on software and firmware, and even tried reloading it. After fighting with Wifi and AndroidAuto I just decided to not use AA and instead I just use its bluetooth audio player, which works great. Since all I wanted was wireless audio this works fine for me.

It's nice... But!!! My unit did not function correctly resulting in a return. For starters, the installation is fairly easy. However, the configuration is far more difficult than it needs to be. Spent a few days with support to figure out all the issues. The instructions lack a lot of detail for the configuration. It took 2 days to figure out why only music was being pushed out of just the right channel. Then I had to wait a few more days to figure out the back up camera not working. After 2 weeks, it started to work, except for the steering wheel controls. They provided me with 3 different software and firmware updates, which did not resolve the problem. I gave them 1 star for the inconvenience and non functioning components. I added 1 star because at least their support is responsive and helpful, as much as they can. Item was returned. If you want a hassle-free set up, this isn't it. If you're willing to work with their support via email, go for it. Keep in mind their support is in China and responses will take 12 hours or more to get. One more update. I took a chance and bought another thinking, maybe it was just THAT unit... but nope, the 2nd one I bought is the same way. Now removing a star for the inconvenience and it being a bad product over all. I still stand by my statement that the set up is far too involved and the tech support is good. The product itself is just bad!

I installed this on my 2014 BMW F32, and it fits like a glove. It completely modernized the interior and is a huge upgrade over the factory OEM screen. Installation was much easier than I expected. The seller emailed me a step-by-step installation video, which made the process very straightforward. Taking my time and making sure all the wiring was routed properly, the install took about two hours. One tip for anyone installing this: place a towel over the shifter and lower center console panels while you’re working. I ended up scratching mine a little, and a towel would have prevented that. Once everything was installed, setting up Apple CarPlay was simple and worked right away. My backup camera functions perfectly, and all of the factory vehicle functions continue to work as expected. The only minor quirk is that because my car is a two-door model, the system always thinks two doors are open. It’s a small issue that doesn’t affect functionality, so it doesn’t bother me. The only real issue I’ve experienced has been with Bluetooth. My phone doesn’t always like being connected to both the factory BMW Bluetooth and the new screen at the same time. Occasionally I have to disconnect the car’s Bluetooth before Apple CarPlay connects properly. It’s a minor inconvenience, but worth mentioning. I purchased a “Used - Like New” unit, and unfortunately the display arrived missing the purple connector, so the screen couldn’t be used initially. However, this is where the seller really impressed me. They went above and beyond by sending me a replacement screen at no additional cost. Throughout the process, they were incredibly responsive and helpful over email, Amazon messaging, and even WhatsApp. Their customer service was outstanding. The box also arrived without any manuals, but since I knew I was buying a used item and I’m fairly tech-savvy, it wasn’t an issue for me. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. The screen has transformed the look and functionality of my car, and the excellent customer support gave me confidence that the seller stands behind their product. I’ll continue to update this review if anything changes after putting more miles on it.

Good screen works nicely. But has issues with heat if your car sits in the sun it might not turn on. Not even in a hot area of the country 90 degrees outside seems to be the cutoff for it working.

This is an incredible product, my BMW had screen bubbling issues. I had previously paid someone $750 to install CarPlay to work with the native BMW screen, but I couldn’t find a decent screen replacement for my F 22. I bought this with kind of low expectations and hoping to use it just a screen, but it was too easy to install and I ended up with the whole thing set up in 45 minutes and ripped out the $750 module I had earlier. Everything about this works great once you get it set up you have to configure the camera and the resolution, but even on my stick shift convertible it snaps right over to the back up camera when it’s supposed to and back to CarPlay when it’s done. Even my professionally installed set up couldn’t do that, to the point I was adding a second back up camera before This is really exceptional, thank you.

Écran facile d’installation et lancement très rapide. Il faut quand même un peu de savoir faire et il y a des vidéos de montage sur Google à regarder qui aide bien. Si vous acheter la caméra de recul vidéo à l’arrière ou que vous l’avez déjà attention aux branchements et il faut régler dans le menu de l’écran le mode AHV ou CVBS donc bien regarder que la caméra arrière à ce mode là qui ce définira dans le menu réglage caméra sinon vous aurez un écran noir. Bien régler aussi le mode d’écran car la définition du réglage et la clef pour avoir le menu OEM d’origine sans bug. Une fois tout bien régler tout fonctionne parfaitement. 👍 Je recommande c’est une bonne marque. N’achetez surtout pas des marques chinoise comme CAMECHO … à fuir ! Très satisfait pour ma BMW f30 xdrive 330D 💪👍

Ecran magnifique et installation facile, c'est un super Upgrade pour ma BMW f20 série 1 de septembre 2011. Appareil compatible cic et nbt 6 pins. Je recommande fortement. Service après vente au top si vous avez des soucis ou questions à poser même si le guide d'installation est au top.

Muy fácil de instalar y funciona de maravilla. Algunos puntos que no pude resolver y no está tan claro en la información. No pude usar el Bluetooth OEM para Apple car play. Tuve que usar el Bluetooth de la pantalla y funciona de maravilla. No logro hacer que el micrófono de la pantalla funcione con las llamadas. Tengo que usar el OEM y después no regresa la musica. No me importa mucho porque casi no contesto llamadas. Todo lo demás está funcionando de maravilla, conserve las funciones OEM.

La pantalla funciona perfectamente para un serie 1 de 2015. No es muy difícil de montar y mejora muchísimo respecto a la pantalla de serie, más pequeña y sin Android auto/Carplay. Otra ventaja que he visto en otras reseñas es que curiosamente el audio suena mucho mejor. Si tienes dudas de si elegir Linux o Android, yo recomendaría Linux pues con Android Auto/Carplay tienes suficiente para poner las aplicaciones de tu móvil en la pantalla. La opción de Android es más cara, carga más lento y la única cosa que tiene es que es como si fuera otro dispositivo Android, con sus apps instaladas y su tarjeta SIM, pero no le veo la ventaja cuando las apps ya las reproduce el Linux de tu propio móvil... Producto recomendado.
