Helpful video, many thanks, especially the information about the optic cables, that was the bit I came here hoping to find, and you didn't dissapoint! Cheers.
I've been researching an upgrade to Apple CarPlay & backup cam on a newly acquired x5 E70. I've watched this and a number of your videos on the Avin touch screens, and find them very well done & interesting, but I haven't found anything very recent (now they have android 13 model), or any details on how the Carplay actually operates / functions after installed/set up. Do you have any more recent info? Any more details on Carplay operation? Do you have any comment / wisdom to share comparing reliability/quality between MMI / Mr12volt / Avin. Hoping for any input / additional info you might be able to share or direct me towards. Thanks
This is the best video I've seen on MMI installation; thank you! My X1 already has the OEM backup camera... if I install the MMI Prime, do you know if the existing wiring for the camera need to be changed/moved?
@@BMWDIYGuy I like the idea of the bigger screen to be honest. The stock one is comically small. I was looking at the Bimmer tech pro and I guess the only difference really is the option for HDMI in, which I'm not too bothered about. I just bought an X1 over the weekend, and coming from a car with Android auto, I need it back big time!! Lol
@@BMWDIYGuy I ended up ordering the bigger screen after watching your video anyways, but yeah seems like no huge differences between the setups. I did opt for the 10.5" one though, so it's a happy medium from stock. Thanks for the great videos and for being so responsive here too 👌🏼
