Thank you for your detailed instructions, I followed them step by step and didn’t encounter any surprises!

[@igip831]

This reminds me of hooking up the stereo with the vcr and the dvd to the tv in the 90’s for my mom at like 5 years old

[@abhithakur90]

try to do this in the summer of in a heated garage with the heater on for at least an hour. warm clips are flexible and less prone to breaking especially on older cars

[@bimmer-tech]

Very helpful advice!

[@sueddo2634]

Installed this in my M6 GC around 2 years ago and it has been working pretty well ever since. Occasional freezes and crashes but nothing outside of the ordinary. Was told by my installer not to magsafe/wireless charge my iphone while using it which can cause the carplay to freeze.

[@bimmer-tech]

The wireless charging shouldn't cause any interference, but being extra cautious is never a bad option :D

[@rexpontiusful]

Seems like a pretty cool upgrade, lot less work than upgrading CIC --> NBT evo (which I did, and required a whole lot more disassembling) Nice video also.

[@incartechie]

Great video as always!

[@dreameventsinc7851]

Nice video but was looking forward to seeing it in motion and actually working.

[@bimmer-tech]

This is just an installation video. We have a couple other video on our channel that show it working with our new UI and iOS14! - Dylan

[@stephenlevitt4872]

Hey Dylan, thanks for making such a seemingly great product. I just ordered mine for my 2015 M6! I’m also having trouble finding the video(s) that show how to use my device (iPhone) with the MMI Prime though. What are they called so I can locate them in your channel? I’d like to see what I do immediately after the MMI prime installation is completed. Thank you!

[@hanialsulaimany5526]

I’ve installed the unit in my 2011 640 convertible, the original interface works but when activating the unit it shows an orange blank screen.

[@bimmer-tech]

It may have been a set up issue. Please contact our support team via our website and they'll help you out.

[@andykim8513]

does the MMI audio connect to Aux, which reduces the sound quality? I have B&O speakers and sound quality is bad with aux when compared with USB

[@bimmer-tech]

Yes the MMI Prime works only via AUX, but the sound quality is still decent.

[@jacobb9177]

Is this compatible with the 2015 640d LCI post-facelift coupe UK/RHD version?

[@bimmer-tech]

Jacob, would you mind sending us your car's VIN? We'd check the compatibility for you :)

[@martinusstrydom8518]

Hi, I have a 2013 F12 BMW M6 and want to know if it is necessary to install the microphone and AUX cable if I install the MMI Prime?

[@bimmer-tech]

The Aux cable coding is necessary in this case :)

[@martinusstrydom8518]

@@bimmer-tech So I got it installed and all my car's original functionality is there, but when I switch over to the MMI I only get a red screen for a couple of minutes and then the screen goes black.

[@bimmer-tech]

In that case you should contact our support: [e-mail]

[@jamesskipper252]

I have a 2013 650i coupe. Is this the wireless carplay version? Also, is the installation the exact same for my car?

[@bimmer-tech]

Yes, this is a Wireless CarPlay. And in terms of installation, you probably have a CIC head unit, so this instal tutorial would be better for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKacnYB9n5uKiNE. But please make sure you have a CIC first, you can check it by entering your VIN here: www.bimmer-tech.net/category-bmw-carplay-mmi-retrofit. You'll also see the correct installation procedure for your car down below.

[@fq94]

At 12:21 shouldn't you disconnect the battery again?

[@bimmer-tech]

just how it is in the video :)

[@huiunit]

Can you integrate maps with the HUD? Or directions

[@bimmer-tech]

Unfortunately not through the CarPlay MMI Prime

[@Shaheer.Naveed]

Will this work on a 2015 bmw 650i or can I replace the screen with the new ones? Also does it void warranty?

[@bimmer-tech]

You can enter your VIN here to check if it's compatible with your 6 Series: www.bimmer-tech.net/category-bmw-carplay-mmi-retrofit CarPlay retrofit doesn't come with additional screen, it works with OEM screens. And no, it doesn't void the warranty.

[@haoranchang1408]

is the usb cable gonna be hanging there? Do you have to install it if you just use it wirelessly?

[@bimmer-tech]

The USB cable can be installed wherever you want as long as you can easily access it after the installation to plug your phone with the MMI, update the MMIs software, or even play some music from a USB stick. If you want it hidden, you can contact our support team, they'll show you how to tuck it in neatly.

[@jacobb9177]

@@bimmer-tech so if you're only going to be using the Android Auto through the bluetooth, it's basically only used for software updates? is it even possible to connect to Android Auto with bluetooth?

I've installed a unit in my F06 640D Gran Coupe. lts in the UK so is right-hand drive. I don't have anywhere near the clearance underneath the headunit like you show in your video. Is that beacuase its an F06 or RHD? where would be the best place to mount in this example?

[@bimmer-tech]

Hey, you can go ahead and place the MMI in the cavity between the head unit and the glove box compartment.

[@DarkShadowAy]

Did you solve this?

You mean the original iDrive menu? Yes, you get to keep it and toggle between the two with a press of the controller.

Yes it might work. Please send us the last 7 digits of your VIN and we'll make sure.

[@raziel8321]

649$ ?? Whats the difference to the 100 brands Carplay/Android Auto Kits you could buy since years, and only Cost 150-200$ ?

[@bimmer-tech]

Our products stand out in quality and our support service. They are very respected and recommended on the market, hence this price.

[@BrandanM94]

They are not wrong. My unit went right hand drive and I’m in USA so left hand drive I went to the site contacted them and they sent me a reboot and update for my unit via email which I was able to download and put on a usb drive and then they sent me detailed instructions on where to go to start the reboot and update and so the customer support and warranty alone are well worth the additional cost! 👍🏻

[@TheBlaine90]

@@chiragdesai5817 I removed my glovebox and placed the MMI box on the top of the glove box housing using adhesive pads. all cables reach here. It does fit directly behind the head unit but space is so tight. I opted for above the glove box as the MMI box is further away from the heat of the head unit. hope this helps
