Designed as an OEM‑style upgrade, it preserves your existing dash display, rotary controller, and steering wheel controls while opening a gateway to CarPlay and Android Auto. This retrofit keeps the BMW CIC look and feel you love, with the convenience of contemporary navigation, messaging, and media apps at your fingertips.
Built to fit BMW CIC systems across commonly used screens (6.5”, 8.8”, and 10.25”), this decoder box provides a seamless, non-destructive upgrade. Enjoy hands‑free control with voice commands like “Hey Siri,” direct access to maps and traffic, and smooth multimedia playback. The kit also supports Mirror Link and USB Flash drive playback, so you can choose how you access your content. Thanks to integrated 2.4G/5.8G WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0, stays connected with reliable performance for streaming, updates, and app usage.
The upgrade focuses on practical, real-world improvements: CarPlay and Android Auto let you use familiar apps on your BMW’s display, live traffic from Google Maps or Apple Maps, and clear turn‑by‑turn directions without juggling your phone. The built‑in DSP with adjustable EQ delivers refined sound quality that complements the car’s acoustics. For drivers who prioritize safety, the kit maintains OEM parking features and adds compatibility with HD 360° panoramic cameras, including dynamic guidance lines and parking distance cues that align with factory aesthetics.
