The device supports WiFi and 4G connectivity. WiFi connects via local hotspots or your phone's hotspot. 4G functionality generally requires a compatible SIM module or external 4G dongle — check the product listing for whether a SIM slot or 4G module is included.

Many buyers retain steering wheel controls using a CAN-BUS adapter or steering wheel control interface. Compatibility depends on your car's original wiring and electronics — check with the seller or installer to confirm that a CAN-BUS decoder or adapter is included or available.
The unit has professional audio processing and 4 × 50W amplifier outputs. Integration with a factory amplifier or sound system may require additional adapters or a CAN-BUS/line-out retainer. Confirm your BMW's audio setup and ask the seller about required adapters.
Most units support a reverse camera input and automatic trigger when shifting to reverse. Parking guide lines may be available but could require configuration. A compatible camera may be sold separately.
Android 11 should support Google Play and standard Android apps, but availability depends on whether Google services are preinstalled. If Play Store isn't preinstalled, you can sideload apps or ask the seller for a firmware that includes Google services.
Firmware updates are typically provided by the seller/manufacturer and can be applied via USB or SD card. Some units may support OTA updates, but update availability varies — ask the seller for update procedures and files.
The unit supports multiple languages including Traditional Chinese, English, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, German, French, Turkish, Spanish, Italian, and others listed in the specification.
Included accessories vary by seller. Commonly included items are wiring harnesses, GPS antenna, WiFi antenna, and sometimes a reverse camera and microphone. You may need additional CAN-BUS decoders, mounting kits, or BMW-specific connectors depending on your vehicle—confirm the accessory list before purchase.
If you are experienced with car electronics and BMW wiring, DIY installation is possible. However, because BMW installations can require CAN-BUS adapters, dismantling trim, and correct wiring to preserve features, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fit and functionality.
