I could use some help with a carplay MMI box

[Thrawn]

I purchased a unit from amazon it is by a company called Lexxson. here is the link to the unit I purchased.

I did not get the item shown, but I am not sure yet if that is good or bad. I might have recived a newer model. I am having a hard time finding out what I got and if it will even work in my car with the harness they provided. the harness looks different than most I have seen, and I have been emailing the company, but they seem to be having a hard time understanding it is the wrong harness (or i think it is). the last communication telling them it was either the wrong harness or I needed instructions on how to install it, was answered by saying they would email me the software updated needed to fix the problem. not sure how they are going to email a different harness, if one is needed. I am trying to keep from taking everything out of the car just to confirm it is not the correct harness. I will post some pictures of what they sent. any help identifying the unit, or if I do do in fact need another harness, and what that harness might be would be greatly appreciated.


Now for some pictures.



Notice it has a BT antenna and a 5G antenna. I am only able to find one other unit online that looks like this. more about that later.

Here is the other side of the unit and the part number of the cable harness.




more of the harness I recived.



and another.



here is the cable I was expecting.




and from another manufacture it looks like I might have gotten a IDrive cable



and here is another picture that might be the cable I got and not the can cable as I expected to get.



and finally a picture of another unit that has both a bluetooth and 5G antenna that looks like the one I recived, though it has a can style harness. it is also being sold for a Mercedes. Mine is for a 2013 BMW X5 E70 with CIC





Thanks for the help!
