Wireless CarPlay and AndroidAuto in BMW 3-series 4-series 2012-2016

[@MWright0825]

Seriously, this was the most straightforward and easy to follow tutorial I’ve seen for this install! Great job and thank you for this!

[@eddiejburns]

You, sir, are the best instructor on this mod for my 2015 328i I've found. Pure. Genius. I highly recommend this video and the only sad thing about the video is there's only a LIKE when I want to hit LOVE.

[@gtacarkits]

Thank you so much!

[@anthonypipia6990]

@@gtacarkits I did exactly what you did Follett step by step but unfortunately I have no volume. Any idea why?

[@dangerclose4155]

How are you liking it one year later?

[@eddiejburns]

@Dangerclose4 it's great! Google refreshed Android Auto, so it now allows full-screen Maps. The box itself works well, but not perfect. This is more a fault of not having a touchscreen. I'd say the processing speed is good, but it probably would need a boost after a couple more update cycles. If the manufacturer comes out with another version, I would probably update.

[@2_hotty]

Excellent video! I just installed this on my 2015 M4. The plug for my control panel (ac/heat and radio) wouldn’t come out and I didn’t want to force it so I just worked around it and it was fine. Also, I would suggest putting the radio back in BEFORE you put the glove box back. I had to take the glove box back off so I could fit my hand behind it to help move the harness around to get the radio to slide all the way back. Other than that, these instructions were great. Anyone can do this with some patience. It wasn’t hard at all.

[@domkid6723]

That ac/radio panel wire is my worst enemy. Sometimes I have 4 minute battle with it, other times 30..

[@MistaaFrosty]

how is it working for you so far?

[@emshomar]

Make sure to place the microphone cable in the A-pillar behind the airbag, so when it deploys, it doesn't blast throught the wire. Also it's probably a good idea to wrap all your loose wires and plastics in some kind of foam and tape it to some place where it doesn't cause rattle and noises when you drive.

[@loucornicelli2501]

This is the best video I found for installing the box. Thanks for taking the time to do such a thorough explanation of all the steps.

[@nicholasash9389]

Possibly one of the best install vids anywhere. Well done.

[@gtacarkits]

Wow thank you for your kind words.

[@cristinardz0]

OMG THANK YOUUUU I did it myself!!!! God bless you!!!! ❤

[@wilsep]

Amazing job. But I don’t have these skills nor patience 😂 well done 👍🏻

Thank you! Cheers!

Step 457: you are going to want to get an engine lift to remove the engine

[@richardstevens8435]

Now that's funny

[@James_Edward59]

Lmfao step 978: Once you have saved up enough money, you will want to buy a car that already has Appleplay installed on it that way you can ignore the last 977 steps.

[@klenlive]

Exactly what i thought it's fucking ridiculous to remove all this crap to install one module, dumb as f, just buy a module you plug on the car play cable ffs 🤣

[@Pseudo_Placebo]

The glove compartment definitely does not need to be removed. The work can be saved, because it is absolutely sufficient only to loosen the lower cover with two 10 screws and insert the module there. No holes necessary, everything remains original. Did it yesterday in an hour

[@rogerniverski9856]

I’m impressed on the level of work you had to put!!! I would have changed the screen as well... cheers

[@gtacarkits]

We found that OEM screens are still superior. Aftermarket ones glitch especially in Hot or Cold weather, and aftermarket ones do not have the same ability to show information well if you are wearing polarized sunglasses while driving. Thank you.

[@xtrasafeful]

Thanks for the video. It helps me get prepared for when I'm gonna install it in my 3 series F31 2013mod with NBT.

Amazing video bro, i was wondering how do you set up the wireless connection to the CarPlay?

[@andypham7298]

So much expert and professional

[@MapleJokerRofl]

Would this make the car more rattely & leak water in easier

[@JohnSotomusic]

I have a 2016 428i with the not so wide display. Can I change it to something like on this video?

[@santhosh14302]

Hi . Nice video tutorial... Is this the same procedure for 2014 3 series GT f34...?

[@shhhpark]

Thanks for the vid! Just started looking into getting an MMI and screen upgrade for my 2014 428i xDrive. Do you happen to know if I need the CIC model?

The Original car microphone is working ?

[@Mark-tg1jo]

This has just made me think just book it in to get done . I’d need a day off work to imstall

[@MustRabbit]

Nice instruction. @GTACarKits - does it work with newer 2021 model?

Ótimo tutorial, muito obrigado

[@joemontenegro4970]

thank you for the great video, can you confirm 2 things for me, will the front cameras work and will the heads up displaqy still work ?

No

[@luisandeazevedo]

Super tutorial well explained. Can you please tell if this module is for EVO ID5 System? Thans

[@gtacarkits]

Hi, the module in the video is for NBT. Evo uses similar but different module. thank you.

[@jackhardy636]

Have you had any issues with it. My aftermarket one comes up NO SIGNAL and doesn’t allow any media at all to work. Still shows the digital speedometer but no Bluetooth/radio/carplay will work

[@abr.a9632]

Good job As always

[@gtacarkits]

Thanks again!

[@donchocho]

So you can only connect apple play or Android auto by cable? No wireless connection?

[@lanem2005]

When you switch the audio to auxiliary will you still be able to hear a bluetooth phone call or does carplay seamlessly integrate that?

[@landcruiser1785]

So, if using this system for CarPlay, it's not able to tie into (use) the factory microphone? (for Siri) You *have* to install the mic provided? Is there another aftermarket CarPlay system out there that ties into the factory mic (for Siri)? Also, this video was OUTSTANDING. Thank you for taking the time to include your tips, and making sure to not miss many details. Well done!

[@ravensfpv]

Do I need to make sure the originial system for media needs to be AUX, before playing music on CarPlay, every time I start the car?

[@DeuceIsMyName]

Couldn't you use the USB in the center console instead of having a cable sticking out of the glove box? You know where the factory USB and aux input are.

[@beatekeihn4283]

Hi is it possible to hear original BMW radio sound and then switch to carplay and hear google maps sound the same time?

[@gtacarkits]

No not possible. You can listen to original radio, and see google directions on the screen, but our kit will not override original radio to play step by step directions. To hear directions from the CarPlay, you would need AUX as the source. Thank you.

[@dimitrikostomiris4555]

So me and a buddy put it in. Now, the audio won’t work. We had a problem with the screen being black too. Audio IN cable is on the radio and audio OUT cable is on the kit. What’s wrong with this
