Wireless/Wired Apple CarPlay & Android Auto for BMW/MINI

Wireless/Wired Apple CarPlay & Android Auto for BMW/MINI

This aftermarket but, “Factory Style” Retrofit will upgrade the outdated technology in your vehicle. FM Radio and CD Players were absolutely fine at the time of manufacture but we all want more functionality these days.

With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto displaying on your factory screen, this will allow you to utilise some really great features whilst in your vehicle. With this upgrade, you will get all the great apps that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have to offer, such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Internet Radio, BBC Sounds, Audio Books and Podcasts and Navigation Apps such as Google Maps, Waze and TomTom to name but a few. Apps can vary between systems.

The advantage of this kit over the Genuine Setup (If it were available for this model range) is that it’s wireless (in most cases). You can jump in your car and it will automatically connect up. You won’t have to worry about plugging something into your Glove box or Armrest if you don’t want to (Handset Model Dependent).

However, this interface is aftermarket and although manufactured and distributed by Bimmertech, who are BMW specialists, it does not function via the touch-screen if your model features this.

Only the factory fitted and “activated” or “enabled” Apple CarPlay will support touch-screen controls.

Please Note:

• This is a Supply & Fit option ONLY at our workshop here in Poole, Dorset. The price includes Installation and VAT.
• If your model features a factory touch-screen, this will not work for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto unless we are activating the original factory equipment.
• On some models, you may not be able to charge your handset using the factory USB “Media” socket whilst in Apple CarPlay or Android Auto mode. This will still function and charge in normal USB/Music Mode within the car. (We install a hardwired USB cable as part of the installation that will provide charging and this is usually located in the glove box)
• A separate microphone is required for Hey Siri functionality.
• Apple CarPlay does not have the ability to show any information on our Dashboard / DIS.
• As far as we know the Samsung S10 handset is not compatible and does not work with this system.
• Please ensure that you check the compatibility of the handset you are using before booking in for this upgrade.
