Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 29 reviews.
I was initially very skeptical about whether it would be that good, but I was really surprised by how easy the installation was and how great the result is. I also had concerns because it wasn't mentioned that a bracket was included (it is included!), so I highly recommend buying and enjoying it. The shipping surprised me even more; the next day I had a package at my doorstep and I didn't expect it to be the display – it's top-notch!!!!!
Perfect, works very well, all basic controls are smooth and functional (steering wheel controls, radar, AV, AR, sound quality is as good as the original) I recommend it. The only downside is that there isn't much space for the CCC cables.
Runs great, linux based so it doesn’t have million unnecessary apps like android based unit. It’s tricky to fit unit in with new connector but you have to fit it in right bottom corner, one wiring might be blocking so unattach it with clips holding it. Overall it’s a nice upgrade.
I replaced the head unit on the 2011 bmw 320d today. The unit works beautifully with the additional purchase of the reverse camera. Apple carplay connects wirelessly and very fast. Very happy with the purchase.
The installation is very easy. It takes around 30 minutes to an hour to install. The carplay connects immediately. The sound quality is the same as the original. It is very responsive. The cd and the dvd player also work.
Amazing! I can't believe how much this has transformed my E61 BMW.
I'm not very good at things like this but thought I'd give it a go, installation was super easy, it really is just plug and play.
The seller was great, very friendly and helpful, I asked so many questions and he always replied quickly.
Thank you so much :) I'm very happy!
This is a well -priced system. I bought for my 2007 e93 335i ccc and it fitted well. As it's a linux system, you aren't bombarded with hundreds of useless apps.
Phone connects to the unit as soon as you get in the car and turn the ignition, and the screen is on almost immediately.
Good user interface and easy to use idrive or the touch screen to get back in to bmw oem screen and settings.
Delivery was 2-3 days, really good!
The screen is amazing quality and the install was super easy, i have a 2007 335i and i didn’t even have to use the aux cord, it works perfect with most optical connection. Delivery was super fast only 4 days to canada! Thank you, will definitely order again!
everything works great, no lag, easy installation, buttons on the steering wheel work, volume and tracks switch smoothly, CarPlay functions, touchscreen display.
Delivery time more than 30 days screen fitted nicely put reverse camera is glitching. Communication with company is poor no response after sending video about fault .
Really is a simple plug and play! Only hard part was feeding the wires through the glove box to reach the screen! But it’s worth it! Ran into a problem but euroactive instantly replied and helped solve the issue! Highly recommend getting one for anyone who wants an Apple car play unit!
