Are these Android units capable of receiving upgrades to newer versions of Android in the future? Also, how do they get live navigation info? Do they rely on your phone for communications?

I see a replacement screen for my stock unit will run about $100ish. Might be worth it so I could resell it. People are asking pretty high prices for functional OE units on eBay.

What was BMW thinking putting a CASSETTE player in there in 2004? Even my 1999 e46 has in-dash CD. Who even owns a cassette tape any more - even back in 2004?

Maybe I'll step up to an entry-level Android like this: https://www.amazon.com/XTRONS-Androi...r=8-1-fkmrnull

Seems like it would do everything I could possibly want.

AM.
