This piece of equipment is considerably cheaper that most of the competitors out there on the market .
This piece of equipment was £300 cheaper than I had paid for a competitors product 8 months ago .
I was looking for a Product that would seamlessly integrate with the original onboard equipment and deliver Apple CarPlay , I didn’t need the facility to plug in external cameras on the vehicle ( front and rear ) , I didn’t require a secondary graphic equaliser either, I just wanted Apple Car Play and to be able to take phone calls using my steering wheel controls . This product delivers exactly what I required .
Do I have any suggestions , yes 3 of them and they all ( 3) concern the installation .

1/ Put a Sticker on the inside the box ( somewhere everyone opening the box will see it . On this sticker will be the Weblink to the correct YouTube Video covering the particular installation for the equipment inside this box ( PCM3.0 , PCM3.1 , PCM ?? ???? Etc .)

2/ You supplied 3 different length Screw Pegs ( for the fixing of the extra Motherboard Card .
Identify the length that must be used for the equipment in the box ( this could also be on the “Sticker” ! ( use “Longest Screw Peg Support Leg , for PCM ?????? . This would help the installer considerably .

3/ A Car Microphone Kit came within the box of equipment , but it was not needed . Again identify on the “Sticker “ whether that model requires the Microphone Fitting from the Kit supplied in the box ( “PCM3.0 installation does not require the microphone to be installed” , or
“PCM3.1 requires the
supplied Microphone to be installed” !

It's working awesome I love it thanks

Einbau war ohne Probleme

Actually bought one for F20 NBC, not E81 but in case: easy to install, great instructions and probably the best customer support I've ever seen (replies emails and whatsapp-questions in minutes on Saturday etc). Nothing to complain, highly recommended.

Took a bit of a while to figure out the right settings to connect both audio and carplay, but once in place just great.

Hab das Touch Interface für meinen F31 genommen. Einbau war simpel und nach ein paar Einstellungen läuft das Ding problemlos. Ich bin sehr zufrieden.

Would recommend this

Montaggio piuttosto facile e intuitivo, ma istruzioni più chiare sarebbero auspicabili, ho difficoltà a connettermi con il Wi-Fi il telefono non rileva l'autoradio, connesso solo via cavo.

I was confused about the car version when placing the order, but they changed it without any problem before shipping. It arrived very quickly, well packaged and with shipping tracking. I noticed that a piece was missing and as soon as I let them know (on the weekend) they responded and sent me the piece quickly. My car has been rejuvenated. The pieces fit perfectly and so far they don't creak over bumps. Android auto and everything else works great. The original controls with wheel button and steering wheel work. The climate control temperature indicator appears if I change any settings.The screen works great, but above all I really value the support and personal treatment. Yeah. I definitely recommend it.

Great and easy to fit

9 inch HD IPS Portable Touch screen Wireless Carplay Android Auto

This is an excellent product to upgrade the existing factory pcm3.0 system. Took it carefully as didnt want to scratch the car, so it probably took 2.5 hours from start to finish. It works great and has really improved the system. Autoabc checked i had AUX available before shipping.

Technology moves so very quickly. So when we added a 2010 BMW 128i convertible to our garage, NOT having CarPlay was simply unacceptable. I came upon this AutoABC unit because it claimed to do just what we wanted: CarPlay and a larger, brighter touch display in the BMW. The price was more than right (you can pay less if you look around, but also a LOT more if you buy the same thing from a US vendor). The package arrived within just three days: Display with housing, wire harness, USB cable, AUX cable, some clamps, and a fairly brief color manual that was good, but still suffered from translation.

Installation was, depending on how adept you are with doing stuff in cars, fairly simple or quite involved. It definitely pays to watch YouTube vids on how to go about taking things out of the BMW dash. And routing all the cables through the guts of the BMW…. brrrr. Still I got all that done in a few hours (and also installed a backup camera while I was at it — highly recommended).

I did encounter one hardware problem: the housing/adapter of the new 10.25-inch display did not fit all the way into the OEM display cutout on top of the BMW dash. I had to widen the cutout in a couple of areas. And there are no instructions on how to secure the whole thing onto the dash.

Anyway, the Linux-based system boots up very fast, like six seconds (supposedly much faster than Android-based units). The interface looks great, and CarPlay works great. Having a backup cameras was great. Just one problem: initially I didn’t have CarPlay sound. The car radio worked fine, but anything from CarPlay only had sound on the iPhone. It took me quite some time to figure out how to get it to work. The secret is to connect the CarPly system wirelessly to the iPhone Bluetooth and Wifi, but NOT the car’s own Bluetooth! The manual did not make that whole process clear.

One thing: the big screen sticks out much more than the BMW’s dim OEM screen. If you can live with that, this is an awesome, inexpensive way to get CarPlay and the Android equivalent into an older car.

The package arrived in good time and well boxed, PCB in antistatic bag and jiffy bag so well protected. All items seem to be good quality, fitting instructions probably the part to complain about, could do with a video link to show the install process. I would not tackle the job if your noy happy about electronics and dismantling your PCM 3.0. Seems to be to all working so far and quality of sound is good except on apple maps, just needs tweaking I think.

With 3g getting turned off, updateing to car play to use phone navigation is a must. Works very smoothly and flawlessly.

Exactly as described I ordered the NBT system fortunately these guys check before they ship as I had the CIC unit so they rectified and sent the correct one first time. I highly recommend them.
