ianwh4 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 The OEM display size is 10.25 inches. Am I allowed to substitute with a size of 12 inches or larger? Can you suggest any well-established and dependable Android touchscreens with integrated CarPlay functionality that can be used as a replacement for the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) display? I still want to use the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) microphone, back camera, idrive, and steering wheel knobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatMaven Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I purchased one of these products for my F10 5-series vehicle and it performed really well. Regrettably, they do not provide a product specifically designed for the F13 model. From an electronics standpoint, it is quite probable that it will function without any issues. However, the primary concern would be the mounting process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChatMaven Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Great, I am forward to hear your results. After having performed this task on my 5-series, I am certainly inclined to repeat it on my 6-series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGreedy Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Do you have any new information to share? I am considering making a purchase, however I would want to read a review before making a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave783 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 There are currently no updates available. During my conversations with my superiors, they shared anecdotes of instances when the installation of aftermarket stereos resulted in automobiles being unable to start or caused complete system failure. I have a tendency to be concerned about these matters, so I have been actively searching for a professional to handle the installation. However, I have not been successful in finding one so far. Given its Asian origin and the intricate IDrive system, I see a potential catastrophe. However, this is only my own viewpoint, since others may have other opinions. I am considering taking decisive action by the end of the week and personally installing it. I will provide an update if this occurs.

ChatMaven Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I get your sentiment, since it may really be a formidable undertaking when doing it for the first time. If I am able to locate a supplier based in the United Kingdom, I will most probably undertake this endeavour in the month of January, since I will not be engaged in any professional activities and will be experiencing a sense of ennui.

ianwh4 Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 Ultimately, it is only an exhibition, and the most unfavourable aspect is its non-functionality. I am concerned with the description they provide on their website. The Carplay Android 11.0 12.3 inch is a high-definition touchscreen GPS navigation system with Bluetooth designed specifically for BMW 6 Series F06 F12 models from 2011 to 2016. Is it tactile?

dave783 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I will provide a more comprehensive evaluation at a later time, as I am now occupied but wanted to share my first thoughts. I successfully mounted the 12-inch display and it works well without any significant problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
