Available For The Older Cars Is Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
Takes full use of the factory system, so you do not have to change your system. Demo can be seen on our instagram and youtube page
(please note, the following older videos from instagram is an early demo, the Apple CarPlay / Android Auto now loads up as soon as you turn the ignition on, so no need to select television or carplay on the screen)
And
Showing USB playback for videos and Mp3.
Our OEM+ CarPlay integrates beautifully into the OEM hardware allowing you to use the original screen, including the original system Menus showing car information, vehicle data etc. The device does not replace any of the existing hardware, and allows you to easily view the original BMW Menu at the press of a button making it a complete OEM+ Solution.
Once installed the unit provides wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Screen Mirroring as well as a USB which allows you to attach an external hard drive or USB memory devices (Movies, TV Shows, Music etc). Reverse camera is also an extra feature available, with this upgrade. Wireless mirroring also available.
The feature will work off the TV Tuner, but will use the Auxiliary input/mode, for the best possible sound. Cars after 2003 will normally have the Auxiliary feature, but pre 2003 and Range Rovers, will require a firmware upgrade to enable this feature. Please see the BM54 section for more details.
It can still work for cars with the older Radios, such as BM24s and very old BM54 units which are not compatible for Auxiliary input. You must specify, which version you would like, as the audio output will be specified for your spec.
The Apple CarPlay / Android Auto is controlled 2 ways:
– Voice Command (for example, “hey siri”)
– OEM Interface (Full control via the car system and steering wheel controls)
– Touchscreen Optional Extra (please see CarPlay / Android Auto Accessories for cost details)
The original Monitor is modified to allow for touchscreen. An extension cable is also provided, which connects to the Monitor and TV Tuner.
This is an extra £100 to add the touchscreen.
Phone Call / Microphone
– OEM Bluetooth Hands Free – If your car has a working factory Bluetooth, then please let us know, and we can modify the BM54 Radio, with a Bluetooth music streaming device free of charge, so you can still use your original Bluetooth hands free.
The way this is done, will be to turn off the Apple Carplay / Android Auto Audio, and use external audio, which in this case will be the OEM Bluetooth hands free for calls, and the Bluetooth device added to the the AUX of the BM54 Radio.
– Non Bluetooth Hands Free System – If your car doesn’t have an OEM Bluetooth hands free, but has an old phone system, then the original microphone cable can be used, and your original microphone can be modified to work with the Apple Carplay / Android Auto.
– No Telephone system – If your car doesn’t have any telephone system, then you can either add an OEM microphone can be added to some vehicles. All convertibles have a microphone location by the interior lights. A car with a sunroof, the panel can be removed and a rectangle shape cut out for the microphone OEM install.
Alternatively, we have universal microphones, which can be added for those vehicles which do not have an option to add an OEM microphone.
