- DIY installation of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to BMW i3 (2017, NBT headunit). Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are integrated in one video decoder which is made by Zhan-Jiang Road Top, a Chinese company (see link below.) We took the advantage of this work to renew the cabin microfilter. Please click the time codes below to jump to any step. #carplay #androidauto #bmwi3

You can remove the front dashboard slightly where it hides the torq screw. Pull it gently and it gives you plenty of space to undo it with a screwdriver. Thirty seconds rather than sweating. Great video though. 😊
Thank you Mr T! Very great advice! Pinned it!
I should have realized this. It is just doesn't make sense to design the trim like we thought 😅 I also learned a lot from this work!
Attention to detail! Thx!
Hi Elli thank you! I am happy it helps. Stay tuned!
Nice tutorial👍🏼 ready to order mine!
Hi Santiago thank you! And wish you a big success. Please come back and let us know how you are doing 🤗
Excellent Tutorial - easy to follow .
Hi F.Gerard Smith thank you for the comments! My pleasure!
Thanks for the detailed guid
Hi Andrew thank you! I’m happy you like it 🤗 Come back often for more DIY videos!
Great install - we also do the same over here in the UK!
Thank you for the comment! In Car Techie 🤗
Thanks a lot! Your video saved me a huge amo6nt of time. Great❤
Thank you jaro59! I’m happy you like it. I plan to do another video about installing apple car play to E90 CCC. Please come back any time!
Excellent tutorial - the best on RUclips! Where do you leave the USB cable for wired Android Auto?
Hi Andrew thank you very much 🤗 I’m so happy you like it 🙏 Mario left the USB cable at the lower center console because he usually set his phone in the center cup holder.
You are welcome to come back anytime 😊 more DIY videos are coming!
Couldn't you add something to the sides the sharp support beam, like thick tape or something to avoid the cables being cut?
Hello Mike you are right about it. However, that workshop was lent to us so we were not fully prepared for this work which we never had experience about it.
I am thinking about the foam cushion stickers which are commonly used for chairs/desks/doors, can be applied for this problem 🤗
If you have the EVO style, turn the toggle switch down 1 to 4. Mines a 2018 i3. If you only have it down from 1-3 then the screen wont turn on for the EVO style.
Hi James, thank you very much for the tip!
Great Tutorial and a nice piece of videomaking. Thank you! One question: Why can I not install the decoder next to the head unit and use the existing LVDS-cable to the screen? Then there is no need to put an additional power cable to the front? There is a lot of space under the rear seats, isn´t it? I think there is a Carplay/Android Auto-Set available for other BMW models that provide a short cable between head unit and decoder and still use the existing LVDS-cable to the screen? I think I could live with Wlan Antenne and Video/HDMI cable close to the back seats. What do you think?
Hi RME thank you very much!
And I am amazed by your idea because I never thought about this. Brilliant! Yes you can leave the decoder under the rear seat alongside the head unit. Thus leaving the front part of the interior untouched.
Man this is really an optimized idea 👍👍👍
RME - I've read that this method only works on the i3 with the smaller screen. Apparently the i3 is very sensitive to the amount of power/signal going up to the front, especially with the larger screen as it draws more power. Anyone with the larger screen (stock, not added after the fact), gets a "no signal" error if they try this method.
@@davidhoffman90 Hi RME thank you very much for this information! Really professional aspect! I'd say that the signal output spec of the decoder may be lower than that of the original headunit, leading to signal/voltage loss when a longer routing of the video cable is used. Very interesting!
Nice video! What phone holder/charger do you use! Looks reeaaally nice!!!!
Thank you Mitchell 🤗 It’s Baseus City Lights. Please look it up. There are many similar products so I believe you can find it easily 👍
Did you guys disconnect the 12v battery and the HV battery disconnect switch in the front of the car? Or were you able to do this work “live”?
Hello Nokmaar, we did this work "live." But you are right with disconnecting all the batteries. I agree that is the most precautious and careful way to do the electricity works. Thanks for the comment!
How we can leverage the HDMI cable in the device ? Can we connect input connection and watch it on the screen ?
Hi Amer,
We haven't used this function yet but there is an input option of HDMI on the decoder menu so we think the answer is yes!
2015 BMW i3 Range Extender 能安裝嗎？
Hi Jacky您好，根據官網資訊，影片中這款車機可以安裝在2015的i3上，請參考網址：www.roadtop.com/wireless-carplay-for-bmw-i3-i01-nbt-system-2012-2017-with-android-auto-mirror-link-airplay-car-play-function-p0119-p0119.html
Hi, thanks for sharing this video. From Where can i buy this device?
Hi Itzik, sorry the link in the description is kaput. Please use the link here; roadtop.com/en-tw/products/bmw-i3-i01-wireless-carplay It is made by roadtop.com
超越讚
謝謝你！MingRen，很高興你喜歡 🤗
Mine used to work fine. But then it started to randomly not turn on and sometimes turn on. it started to show me only black screen. Now when I press menu button it shows me night sky with the car logo and CARPLAY written underneath, and it stays on that screen. How do I make it work again?
Hi George thank you for the question. I am assuming you are talking about an aftermarket Carplay or AAdecoder. The first thing I can guess is overheating of the decoder. Even BMW headunit can freeze in such case.
Please check that the decoder is working in an environment that spores not get too hot. Then try to reset the decoder via a button on its body.
If the situation persists, the decoder is likely bad ☹️
What backup camera do you recommend to use with the decoder based on ease of install?
Hi Sean thank you for the question! Most decoders support RCA video input so I'd say look for an RCA backup camera and stick it to the rear window (inner side.) Such RCA backup camera only has power input and RCA video output so wiring should be pretty simple. This can a quick hack if you don't have time and you need to use the car a lot 😅
However, I'd still recommend the OE type backup camera which requires removing some trims and parts to run the harnesses. Have fun DIY! 🤗
@@funcarsgoodpeople do you know the part number for a 2015 bmw i3?
Hi Sean the OE backup camera has part number 66539475687. Please search "bmw 66539475687" then you will see how it looks like. However this camera uses the connector interface for the NBT system, which may not be compatible with aftermarket decoders. Please also look up "bmw i3 rca reverse camera" for the decoders.
請問有沒有2019 i3s可以裝的
Hi 尚霖你好，根據湛江Road Top的分類，2019的i3應該是iDrive EVO系統，請參考他們的商品頁面 roadtop.com/products/bmw-i3-i01-wireless-carplay?variant=43132253176051 購買的時候要確認iDrive介面的樣子，確認系統相容唷！謝謝留言 🤗
请问2019年的i3能从小屏幕换成大屏幕吗？谢谢
德國黑黑您好。您是要從6寸升級原廠10寸嗎？我有找到這樣的教程ruclips.net/video/HOejX82FxLc/видео.htmlsi=saCRLI325UgXyfYK
如果是要從10寸換更大的，我就不確定了。但應該有廠家做這樣的產品，可以搜看看。
我最近在製作E90安裝Apple #Carplay + #AndroidAuto 的影片，也歡迎回來參考一下唷！
@@funcarsgoodpeople 感谢回复，是的，从6升级到10。但是我目前看到的都说只有到2018年的还能改，2019年后的就不能改了。看你们做的很专业，就想问一下没准你们有办法。
德國黑黑您好，我找到的討論的確提及改款後的六代iDrive EVO不能直接換螢幕了，必需要連主機一起更換，並搭配一些編程/設碼工作。主要是因為零件材料號不相容，也可以說是被鎖住了。
我所能理解的就到這邊了 😅 不好意思我的經驗也十分有限。得請您詢問附近的影音專門店家了 🙏 祝改裝順利！
@@funcarsgoodpeople 非常非常感谢您的详细回复，还帮我去查了相关资料。祝生意兴隆。
