BMW 7 Series F01 F02 (2009–2012) Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Screen Upgrade – CIC (Built-In OEM Design)
BMW 7 Series Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Screen Upgrade (2009–2012)
Upgrade your BMW 7 Series F01 or F02 (2009–2012, CIC iDrive) with a premium Apple CarPlay & Android Auto built-in screen upgrade designed specifically for BMW F-Chassis vehicles.
This system replaces the original factory display with an integrated, OEM-style built-in screen, offering a larger, high-resolution display while fully retaining OEM functionality, iDrive controller operation and seamless interior integration — without compromising the original BMW look and driving experience.
This is a factory-style embedded screen replacement, not a tablet-style add-on.
Product images show example installations and user interfaces.
Actual screen appearance may vary depending on BMW model and dashboard configuration.
