Ok I tried to install it today with no luck. Taking the radio out was super easy in this car. But sadly I could not get this unit to work.
First not only is the cable labeled wrong for the lcd screen and radio, the one that plugs into the radio is rotated by 90 degrees. This not only doesn’t allow the connector to fully seat, it keeps the radio from fitting back into the dash. Here is a pic of that.
Now the next problem is I can’t get CarPlay to come up of the screen. I am assuming because I have to press a button on the idrive controller. The problem is the idrive controller does not work. There is a dip switch setting that says default is off, but if idrive joystick does not work turn on. For me it doesn’t work in either position. Next issue is if I use the settings for the dip switches printed on the box, I get an electrical error and car can not be driven. There was something about the transmission. If I turned off dip switch 3 this went away. But it says I have to have dip switch 3 on. In the end though even if everything else worked I am still not able to use it because the radio will not fit back in due to that connector being rotated 90 degrees.
