Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do. Today we're installing a 12.3-inch screen in my 2011 BMW 535i. It's replacing the old CIC system in the car and will finally give me apple carplay and android auto as well as a much brighter and sharper display that looks like it comes right off of a 2017+ G30 BMW 5 series.

Great video man!! You literally just did all the things I want to do on my 550 GT and answered all the questions I had!
Excellent Video Walk through. I also just purchased from 4x4 for my Audi B8...They have good customer service compared to their competitors just down the road from them.
I did this on my 2012 740li. Great upgrade! About to do a 14.9inch screen on my 2017 X5 m package. Maybe one day ill do it to my X7 also. But for now the x7 screen is legit.
Car looking awesome!
Excelent. Thank you very much, buddy!
Great upgrade - we also install these over here in the UK!
Where did u buy it?
Looks nice but i wouldn't take the risk of installing system. The aux cable thanks for explaining honesty saved me from buying 👍
Thank you for the video. How did you get the dashboard to display speed in mph and not km/h?
Hi, great video, thanks because im concerning the display. I have a question, did you solve the “problem” when you put it on in says 1920*720 instead of BMW?
Awesome video. Do you have the HUD and does the screen affect the HUD functions?
Thanks for this video!
I did everything correctly, but the aux does not work
Hello, would you mind give me the detail list of the option you choose?
Nice video. I am thinking about to buy this product. I want to ask, how is the microphone performed? Did you install a separate microphone? Is it possible to use the factory equipped microphone for phone call when connecting the carplay or android auto?
yeah I kept the factory microphone and it still works fine
hey, did you find a way to make it show the bow screen when you start the car instead of it saying HD.
Hi Great Video, will this also work for me who has the small screen with no Navi and champ2 system which also has no BT Audio? (Only calls work via BT but no apps oder music of any kind ..)
I have a 535i manual and my car has 3 driving modes. Normal, Sport and Sport+. How did you manage to make the mic work? And could you already connect your phone for bluetooth music streaming?
If your cic unit is not working would the rest of the other options work such as CarPlay?
Questions:
i have a 2016 BMW X1 XDRIVE28I which doesn't have navigation and Backup camera
1. Do i need the wifi adapter to connect the dash to a hotspot so i have watch youtube, use internet, GPS etc?
2. Do i need a Bluetooth adapter to connect to my phone and use android auto?
3. If so where did you hide those?
4. How easy it is to install the backup camera and where do i place it?
5. If i have installed professionally, how much do you think that would cost me?
So you have to use an aux cord to play music if you have 2011-2013? You can’t connect to Spotify and play music that way
Did you get the highest operating system and follow up question does the operating system effect how long it take to start up?
HI, great walkthrough!!! If you wouldn't mind answering a silly question, what did you plug that black plug from the screen into @ 4:19. Thanks in advance
Yes yes im confused on this to
It controls the main dimmer switch. So you can’t control dark or brightness.
Can you also show step by step how to connect Applepay.
Hello, I would like to ask what did you do when the black cable was 4 minutes? I don't get the menu for the car, only an hour is displayed
Nice Job!
Hi. Where did you buy it? Is this without silver frame?
Hi please help me figure out where you connect that wire from old display screen. You skipped video, so I can’t seem so I don’t know why I need to connect that wire my display doesn’t work. Thank you for help
to have this key in the car do i have to change something in the car? Or just program it?
Good afternoon,
On the old screen disconnected a pink cable and a black plug. is this plug unplugged?
Hi, everything works fine exept that the AC and heating stopped working after installing the screen, any ideas?
Do you pull the green tab on the screen and if so what's that for?
You should have ran the cable through the center console.the rubber floor pads where the aux is can be removed and there is 3 holes to run the wire.
did exactly this a few months back and the cable is no longer visible
Just bought the android auto for my 2015 BMW F10. I'm having a hard time trying to find someone that will install the unit. How long would you say max to install this unit?
What app is it that I use for Android auto? I have Z link but it may be an old one? It does not sync with A Auto only car play
Hi I did it exactly like you however my problem is that I cant return to the Original OS to make the last adjustments there (Audio Output). The OG Radio is playing but I cant make it output from Screen (I mean the screens commands and then outputting in Car Audio of course). Long Press on Menu gets me a blackscreen and so does the menu point "MyCar" Any idea?
I bought this unit and had it installed but the heady unit doesn’t power off at night, did you have this issue?…I have a 2011 F10 535i sedan
What you make with the external microphone??
So all my audio cables are correct….but my radio comes from the right and my CarPlay comes from the left now….and it keeps pausing my music. Any clue?
do you think this would work on bmw f10 520i 2015 ?
Did you have to do anything to allow voice commands to work? I have looked at other upgrades and you had to wire in another microphone and speaker to allow the phone to work properly. Sorry if I'm repeating a question which may have been asked below. Great video! Thanks.
I had this and the mic installed today and it works fine with this system…the Bluetooth audio does act up once every 20 starts but that’s easily fixed by manually connecting
does this work on a 2013 bmw 528i xdrive ?
Will the new 12.3 screen work on a 2018 m550i?
How is the glare?
Thanks. I want to have my reverse camera available as soon as the car starts. Does the device need to 'boot' for a while when you start the car? How long does that take?
No, it doesn't require the Android unit to boot first. The camera will use the BMW mode to display the camera instantly. Android unit takes about 20 seconds to fully boot.
Does it change the start up chime or turns it off?
thx for the video... does VIM work with this? IE watching video from the usb stick while car is in motion?
In Android mode, yes.
Does handsfree calls work good with this android system?
Does the screen brightness dim when you dim the instrument cluster? Also: How's the glare and reflections off the glossy screen?
Yes it does!
How can I enter full screen iDrive I have similar to this I got this screen but I want to also use the old iDrive at full screen how can I do this?
Will this fit the 2004 745i?
Have you ever used the USB cables that are attached to the device? I'm just about to mount a screen in my car and don't really know where to take them out. In the passenger compartment? I don't want them sticking out into the interior somewhere.
i’ve never used them and just keep them in the glovebox
Will this work on 2011 bmw 550i f10 also
Pls tel me where did u buy it or send me link regards
Wich is the best 12.3 unit brand?
Nice video. How’s the quality sound ?
Sound is fantastic
It's good quality!
Does it respond fast ?
Great video. Glad i found it. Now that you've had it the display for a year, what are your thoughts now?
still love it. very occasionally it’ll cut out or have trouble connecting to apple carplay but i’ll turn off the car and it’ll work again on the next startup
@@Krowicki a year later, is there an updated model that may have addressed that connection issue?
i don’t know i’m not affiliated with the company that made the screen i just saw another person recommend so i bought it too. i’m sure there’s some update i can do to the app that does the carplay but it hasn’t bugged be enough to look into it.
@@Krowicki Hi, can you remove the trim below the screen while the screen is installed?
because i want to replace my start button and i would remove the trim in order to do that
will the screen be in the way when removing the trim because it's like you will hit the screen when trying to removing the trim
Would really be nice if you can make a review video after using it for 1 year. I am planning to buy one but Ive seen many videos where some say it’s excellent and others say its horrible. Cant make my mind
I've been using mine for a little over a 6 months. The cable they provided to interface with the car has an intermittent short where I lose the right channel speakers. I've mostly fixed the issue because they wanted to charge me $35 to ship a cable out. There were a lot of firmware issues that have mostly been corrected with the last update they pushed to me. It's been a bit of a headache but I'm happy now that it is working. I love having wireless apple carplay and a bigger touchscreen but it's not perfect.
Did you figure out how to make it say bmw when you turned the car on
Yes you have to select OeM start up
А переделать и в засунуть в Mercedes w211 можно??
Anyone knows how to update from android 10 to newer version
Is the unit connected to a mic for phonecalls? Like if you put the phone under the arm rest
It uses the OEM bluetooth for phone calls so yes it's connected to the original microphone
any one has issue with head up display,it don’t work after put it on?
Awesome video. Thinking about getting this from China since I'm Chinese.
FYI the unit is $260 on Chinese platforms, and I'm gonna spend $20 to ship it to Canada with UPS.
What platform?
@@rudeboy100s pdd
What is pdd?
@@TheCjanes11 Google is your friend. PDD also just recently launched its US site called Temu.
Hi I have just fitted the same screen and setup android auto but it is not showing full screen/filling the screen as yours is, any idea what I need to do ?
Cheers
John
Hey John I forget exactly how I did it but I do remember that the support team of the company I bought this head unit from was super helpful and had an answer to all my questions
@@Krowicki hi I found out what the problem was, in the setting for zlink I had hd selected, as soon as I unselected it I had full screen picture
Did you get the anti-glare or anti-reflect? What’s the difference?
One has no glare and the other you won’t see a reflection 🤦♂️
Can I use my mobile with wireless Android auto?
I have the smaller 8.5 inch screen in my F10, would this screen still work too if I upgraded???
Yes.
HI, have you same issues with the steering wheel controls? When i try to use them, i get an error in my dashbaord, "steeringwheel controls disabled in aux mode"
same thing here. it's because in the earlier f10's that use the cic system you have to use aux for the system to work and the car doesn't allow steering wheel control skips and rewinds for aux
@@Krowicki so if you have NBT instead you will not have to use the aux cable like in yours?
@@Krowicki Wow that is big NO for me. I like my controls
I have a bmw 2011 f10 and i am not sure what options to go for, can i just buy the base product?
I'm in the same boat
Where have you connected the two cables of your screen, the pink one and the black one? I now have that problem jose where are they placed
the black one stayed disconnected as the new one went in and the pink one went right into the new screen
@@Krowicki i have same problem. I disconect the black. But have message from screen says "no signal".
Good afternoon,
On the old screen disconnected a pink cable and a black plug. is this plug unplugged?
you get this sorted out. I was also wondering where the black connection was to be placed on the new unit. I installed my 12.3 yesterday and I am several issues. No sound, no backup camera, no original screen menu.
It’s the same with me. I tried everything
How many seconds is the boot-up as soon as you Turn ON the car ?
Roughly 20 - 30 seconds
Does pdc work when you put reverse as the original cic
yes
If the original screen don't display how can you set it
Under the factory settings
Hi just wondering if there is any bad glare on the screen with a sunny day.
I had a pretty bad glare the first day I had it but I went to the settings on the screen and adjusted the brightness and its been fine since. My car is also tinted which makes the glare not as bad
Just installed mine and the glare is pretty bad on sunny days
Silly question, can you play youtube? does it have its own android os on the screen? TY
yeah you can and you can access the android os as well
Does the new system have an amplifier, and is it louder than the factory system?
It is a little more bass heavy in my 535i …there a few preset options for jazz, pop, stadium, etc
I'm in the UK and really want to put a better screen in like this, hope it doesn't mess up my heads up display..😁
Yeah....I went there.
It definitely won't mess up your heads up display, we install them here in the UK and have no issues with heads up display cars!
Where you based pal..
I'm based in Aylesbury, UK! @@antonytheolddog8626
Need to fix the time though
Hi I have a question, doest the head up display still works when you go to the old default car menu and then start the original navigation ?
I would love to know this as well before purchasing
@@miguelhobando it still works, you will see the lane you need to be/turns in on your hud but you won't see the old navigation images on the new screen if your on carplay, it works with it "off". Everything works fine with both systems installed.
Is there a way to keep it on factory side all the time?
Yes it’s in the setting
Can i ask, if this infotainment works on f30 as well?
I think there is a different version on their website for the f30
How does the original phone call function on the steering wheel work after this install? Do the contacts still show up on the screen on the instrument cluster so you can scroll through your last calls etc? Does it sync with the new screen? Very curious!
Doesn't work the same way anymore
Would you mind explaining how it does work? :) Much appreciated!
@@markgombkoto2089 It doesn’t work because he didn’t plug in the aftermarket mic. You can still use the steering wheel controls if you leave the original bmw system in Bluetooth mode.
Hey I'm looking to buy the same screen from 4x4 auto. They have some sketchy reviews, so I'm wondering how the monitor has been working so far?
Also how did you ensure you recieved the right chip?
you can verify it in the android settings for the unit. my units been great so far I've had it for only a couple weeks. My only complaint is I wish android auto / apple carplay started faster. it takes like at least 30 seconds after starting the car for that to get worming but other than that I've been super happy with it
@@Krowicki Hey thanks for the reply. I was also wondering what impact it had on your sound? My F10 came with the regular speakers and I upgraded them to the Focals. I would hate to spend more money on screen at the expense of my music listening quality
@@Benny-zo3qh is the focal speaker upgrade worth the money?
@@charlesmakes6520 If you're a big music guy, yes. I just did the front door speakers and the two subs under the front seats. I also put a 10" in the trunk to add base because even with the focal upgrade, the base was lacking.
Hope that helps.
@@Benny-zo3qh how the oem sccren working to check oil and all that I install my android at same way but when I try to go check my oil saying no signal android menu working fine just oem one show no signal
Are you able to get it in reverse now? What was the problem?
still no reverse just commuting with it for now and where I park I don't need reverse. I'll get it done in the second half of this year.
@@Krowicki how the android working so far I install my android but when I go to check oil and all that show no signal can u let us know please thank you
What extra options did u buy?
I bought this and the front camera and rear camera didn’t work, everything else was good
My original rear camera worked fine
Have you noticed a difference in audio quality? Others have reported a degradation.
I'm running my headunit audio through aux and the sound quality is great
Does it have youtube?
You think 12.3 screen is a better than the 14.9 screen option?
What did you go for ?
Why not wireless?
Im watching video’s because I want to add an aftermarket radio in my w221 s550 but if I have to plug into AUX that’s a NO GO FOR ME 😮
unfortunately reality for us 2011-2013 f10’s
How is it working now?
Love it, honestly one of the best aftermarket steros I've installed in a car. The only negative thing I can say is i've been told during phone calls that the audio quality from my end isn't that great.
Do u have a link fore this screen?
I'm not affiliated with them so I don't have a link. I bought it from a site called 4x4shop . ca
4x4 had drop downs that I used to buy two weeks ago…had it installed today but the front and rear cameras were not compatible.
always happy 1 year after ?
yeah, can't complain
Guy got manual gearbox in US 🤯
My concern is that you have to have a aux cable to play music that’s not fun
yeah I believe it's just because I have a pre-lci f10. Mine is a 2011
Will there be an open hole behind the screen or is there a cover? I didnt catch it in the video..
Then play it again. 12:42 is the answer.
@@JeronimooV thank you!
Hi. Can I watch RUclips on it?
yes
bad idea to cut all the detailed connection of the harness...
Can you pls share the password, it should be the same for all. I lost mine and dont even know anymore the manufacturer but its the same size and same interface. Pls help
Did you get fix ?
Did anyone figure out how to root this device?
Any luck?
