BMW 5 Series F10 F11 M5 CarPlay & Android Auto Touchscreen

No. The main screen installation is designed as a vehicle-specific plug-and-play retrofit and does not require coding after installation.

Yes. Your original BMW interface stays fully accessible after the upgrade.

Your original vehicle settings, radio, supported vehicle information and other factory functions remain available.

Once you are inside the original BMW CIC / NBT menu, the factory interface is controlled with the original iDrive rotary controller.

The original BMW menu itself does not accept touchscreen commands because the factory CIC / NBT system was designed for controller input.

Yes. The original BMW iDrive controller and supported steering-wheel controls remain functional.

Android, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and compatible apps can also be operated directly through the touchscreen.

When using the original BMW CIC / NBT menu, navigation remains through the original iDrive controller in the center console.

Yes. The screen supports wireless and wired Apple CarPlay as well as wireless and wired Android Auto.

Compatible navigation, music, messaging and phone functions appear directly on the 10.25-inch touchscreen.

CarPlay and Android Auto are built into the system, so no separate external CarPlay box is required.

Yes. The screen runs Android 14 and supports compatible Android applications.

You can use supported navigation, music, video and utility applications directly on the screen.

Internet access can be provided through Wi-Fi, your phone's hotspot or a compatible 4G LTE SIM card.

No. The screen has its own Android system and built-in GPS support.

Android navigation apps such as Google Maps or Waze can run directly on the screen.

Online navigation requires an internet connection through Wi-Fi, hotspot or a compatible 4G SIM. Compatible offline navigation solutions can also be used.

You can alternatively use navigation through Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or your original BMW navigation system where fitted.

Yes. All performance configurations support a compatible 4G LTE mobile-data SIM card.

This allows the Android system to access the internet without relying on your phone's hotspot.

The SIM card and mobile-data subscription are not included.

Network compatibility and available speeds depend on your mobile provider and region.

Yes, but the available removable-media connection depends on the performance configuration you choose.

Mid-Spec, Top-Spec and Max-Spec use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 platform and support a compatible SD card.

Gold-Spec and Platinum-Spec use the MediaTek MT8781 platform and provide 2 × USB connections for compatible USB media and data devices.

On the MT8781 configurations, compatible USB flash drives can be used to access supported music, video and other files directly through the Android system.

All configurations support a compatible 4G LTE SIM card for mobile-data connectivity.

Yes. All BimmerBunny-selected configurations support split-screen multitasking.

This allows compatible applications such as navigation and music to be displayed side by side.

Higher RAM configurations provide additional working memory for smoother multitasking between demanding Android apps.

Yes. Available interface layouts depend on the selected performance configuration.

Mid-Spec, Top-Spec and Max-Spec include ID8-style interfaces, selectable Snapdragon 680 UI layouts and Live Vehicle display options.

Gold-Spec and Platinum-Spec include multiple selectable layouts such as ID5, ID6, ID7 and ID8-style interfaces plus Live Vehicle display.

Android, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto audio can be transmitted to the BMW sound system using either factory BMW Bluetooth Media / A2DP or the original BMW AUX audio path.

The preferred vehicle-audio source is selected in the Android screen settings.

If your BMW is equipped with factory Bluetooth Media / Bluetooth Audio, the screen can use Bluetooth to send audio to the original BMW sound system.

Factory Bluetooth calling alone is not sufficient. The vehicle must support factory Bluetooth media playback / A2DP for Bluetooth vehicle-audio output.

If your BMW does not have factory Bluetooth Media, select AUX as the screen's vehicle-audio output. Sound is then routed through the original BMW AUX audio path to the factory amplifier and speakers.

If your BMW has neither factory Bluetooth Media nor a functioning AUX source, contact us before ordering.

A functioning AUX source is not necessarily required if your BMW already has factory Bluetooth Media / A2DP audio playback.

In that case, Bluetooth Audio can be selected in the Android screen settings as the vehicle-audio output.

Factory Bluetooth calling alone does not count as Bluetooth Media. The BMW must support Bluetooth music / media playback from the factory.

If your BMW has no factory Bluetooth Media and the original AUX function is unavailable or does not work correctly, contact BimmerBunny before ordering so we can check the appropriate audio solution for your vehicle.

Yes. Hands-free calling is supported through Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and the Android Bluetooth system.

When calls are handled through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the screen system provides the microphone input.

You can use the built-in microphone or connect a compatible external microphone for improved microphone positioning.

Call audio is played through the original BMW amplifier and vehicle speakers using the selected vehicle-audio path — Bluetooth Audio or AUX, depending on your BMW's original equipment and the output selected in the screen settings.

No. While calls are being handled through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on the upgraded screen, the original BMW microphone is not used as the active CarPlay microphone.

The screen's built-in microphone is used instead, or a compatible external microphone can be connected.

The original BMW Bluetooth system itself remains available where it was originally equipped.

Bluetooth 5.1 supports compatible smartphone pairing, Bluetooth A2DP music streaming and hands-free functions.

Bluetooth music can be streamed from your smartphone to the Android system.

Separately, the Android screen can also use BMW Bluetooth Audio as its vehicle-audio output when the BMW is factory-equipped with Bluetooth Media / A2DP playback.

If the vehicle does not have factory Bluetooth Media, the screen can instead send its audio to the BMW sound system through the AUX audio connection.

Yes. The BimmerBunny-selected configurations include 32-band DSP audio processing.

This provides detailed control over individual frequency ranges and allows significantly more precise sound adjustment than a simple bass / mid / treble equalizer.

No. Your original BMW amplifier and vehicle speakers remain in use.

The Android system adds the new multimedia and audio-processing functions while sound is played through the existing BMW audio system.

Yes. Supported original BMW parking sensors and the factory reversing camera remain integrated when they were originally fitted and are functioning correctly.

The screen can also support compatible aftermarket camera systems.

Yes. Compatible aftermarket reversing cameras and supported AHD camera systems can be connected.

Installing a new camera is separate from the main screen installation and requires the camera wiring to be routed from the rear of the vehicle to the dashboard.

Yes. The Android system supports several optional expansion accessories.

• TPMS: compatible tire-pressure and temperature monitoring
• OBD II: compatible vehicle diagnostic and real-time data display
• ADAS DVR: compatible camera and driving-assistance functionality

These accessories are not included with the standard screen package unless specifically selected or purchased separately.

You do not need to understand processor names to choose the right version. Think about how you actually want to use the screen.

No. RAM and storage serve different purposes.

RAM is working memory. More RAM allows more apps and system processes to remain active at the same time and improves multitasking.

Internal storage is used for installed apps, offline maps, downloads, music and other stored files.

This screen is available with up to 12 GB RAM and 512 GB internal storage.

Installation is possible for experienced DIY users, but professional installation is recommended.

Dashboard trim and the original screen must be removed and the supplied vehicle-specific wiring must be positioned correctly behind the dashboard.

The main screen connection is designed as plug and play and does not require cutting the original BMW wiring.

The screen comes with a 3-year warranty.

The 3-year warranty applies to covered manufacturing defects.

Yes. This is a premium BMW F-Series infotainment platform rather than a low-spec generic Android screen.

Depending on configuration, the hardware includes up to 12 GB RAM, 512 GB storage, Cortex-A76 performance cores, Mali-G57 graphics and advanced 6 nm processing architecture.

The platform also combines Android 14, 1920 × 720 IPS display technology, 32-band DSP, 4G connectivity, wired and wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, and full integration with the original BMW system.

CE, FCC, RoHS and SGS-related production certifications are listed for the product platform.

Yes. BimmerBunny support is available before, during and after installation.

You can contact us through WhatsApp or email.

Local installation by appointment is also available in selected UAE and German locations.

• Germany: approximately 3–4 business days
• USA: approximately 4–5 business days
• UAE and KSA: approximately 5–6 business days

Vehicle compatibility and the required CIC or NBT configuration are verified before dispatch.

Yes. The main screen retrofit is reversible because the supplied connection harness integrates without cutting the original BMW wiring.

The original screen can therefore be reinstalled later when the factory components and cables have been stored safely.

BMW CIC and NBT systems use different connections, screen configurations and wiring harnesses.

We verify your BMW model, production year and original iDrive system before dispatch so the correct version arrives the first time.

We may request a photo of your original screen, BMW main menu, iDrive controller or the last seven characters of the VIN when additional verification is required.
