The large 10.25” touch screen is, in my opinion, user friendly, looks and feel a lot better. It gives the dash board a newer look more in line with the later models BMW. You will still be able to use the old functions - look and feel - if you want to.

Replacement of the rear view camera is a must to complete the install. Camera replacement is straight forward but routing the cable take a bit of time. Let me know if you want some advice.

Have the Avin unit for almost 3 years now (i think). Works well, no issues for now. Very easy install...

Yeah, I don't like the screen sticking up from the dash either. I don't really want a touchscreen as the iDrive is the way to go for me.

There is a member named Dennis Cooper on M5board who knows a lot about these types of units.

Hey everyone, sorry to revive and old post, but since it's a couple of years later now plus the market is saturated with these screens plus price drops, which is now current favorite + reliable + affordable + less glitches at the moment?

Have had no issues or glitches with my setup. It does what i need it to do with no issues. I do no have/use carplay, im an android guy.


I got my unit from 4x4shop (yes they TOO use a Chinese based unit). Not the cheapest but at least I had peace of mind being able to talk to someone if I did run into issues.


100% would buy another one again.

I'm also surprised by "absentmathis"s comment, I've only been seeing good reviews on these except for price. Our current 2010 setups are honestly outdated by now. This would really come in handy for me, Apps like Waze, Google Maps etc, not to mention Media storage, Bluetooth etc. I want one. Not forgetting the looks and HD Screen.
