Used parts:  F10_INDAP

Operation video from previous installation - on BMW F10 520D

Wired CarPlay / Wired Android auto

USB3.0 extension port installed inside arm rest console

 

Why & How ?

Why?

 

Both CarPlay & Android Auto grants NAV with latest map, via Google / Apple Map and Waze.

Not to mention that media players like Spotify / iTunes / Audible / and those Digital Radio / podcast apps.

 

As BMW never granted it for their cars till 2018, that puts lots of BMW F body with NBT ID4 / EVO ID5 

missed out CarPlay / Android auto upgrade, and probably won't be granted in the future either.

 

With our integration product,

All of those can be integrated into the existing audio setup, without any change nor removal.

 

 

 

 

How?

 

CarPlay & Android Auto will be installed as form of an 'external device' that attaches to the headunit.

 

It is an aftermarket product hence doesn't work exactly same as the factory fitted ones in current BMWs.

 

Having said that, it will only play sound via AUX (external media input) and won't do fade in / out.

Nor sync with voice command function button on the steering wheel.

 

However It still uses the same audio screen, control knob & button pad, and provided full function of

CarPlay / Android Auto.

Without costing existing functions / features in the car to go obsolete.

 

 

Both CarPlay & Android Auto will work

with control pad and dial knob.

 

Press and hold of MENU button

will switch the display mode between 

CarPlay / Android auto and iDrive.

We install dedicated USB input for the CarPlay / Android Auto.

 

As the original one in the vehicle is for Mercedes' original Media interface and the whole USB function will go obsolete.

 

Like in photo, USB3.0 extension with flush mount port will be installed

and connecting your phone will not only initate CarPlay / Android auto

but also charges the phone as well.

Apple CarPlay -

​

Supports the latest

iPhone & iOS

Android Auto -

Used Samsung S10+

CarPlay / Android auto Module : Contains CarPlay / Android Auto License and dedicated chipset

 

Video Interface Module : Transfers the image generated from Module box, to audio screen of the car.

Certain products of ours have both modules merged into one.

 

Cable loom : Literally those cable / connectors needed for installation.

They will connected between those 2 and also audio headunit in the vehicle.

 

USB Extension Cable: Used for creation of Female USB input (flush mount) on desired location.

 

External Mic* : Used for Voice command via siri or Google Assistant.

If you are using Wireless CarPlay, certain devices will use this Mic for phone call also.

Also, certian device of our unit will not need external mic at all,

as It will 'wake up' the original Mic for voice command.
