How to install Android on BMW 1 and 2 Series (F20/F21/F22) 

Thank you so much for the great video, really appreciate it. Very clear step by step instructions, easy to follow for newbie like me, cannot wait to install it in my F20 too! Thanks again 👍💪

The only video has best way to dissemble the air hols wit hand, using tools made me almost crack it, but pushing from above with hand was so easy, thanks man

Thank You very clean and straight forward , bought my android screen too waiting for delivery can't wait to fit it in thanx

thanks for the guide buddy! you made something so complicated seemed so easy! hahaha

Can't wait to do this. Thanks mate. Was it costly for the whole set up?

Thanks for an excellent video, made it so simple to follow 👍🏻

So with this mod, you can literally go from having a stock screen that offers pretty much nothing to having satnav, android car play (whatever its called) without having to ever plug in your phone?

thanks so much for the video! first DIY to my car

Do you need to plug in the aux cable into the centre console and also into the head unit for sound to work?

Muy buen vídeo ! Enhorabuena ,una pregunta el cable aux .? Hace falta ponerlo debajo del apollabrazos?

Big Like for a Great Tutorial and Subbed , so just plug and play 👍

The best vid i have seen on fitting a 10.25 inch screen. Yes lad, smashed it. Iv got a f21 m135i, going for a 10.25 inch in couple week, cant wait.

Ace! Quality video. Is this just the same for an f21?

Hi, how did you lay the cable from the USB? there is no passage into the glove compartment?

Great tutorial. Which brand of unit is it?

I just install this on my BMW F20,good tutorial. The beauty was that first time I didn’t connected properly those cables , freaked out and opened everything again..then all was great, easy :) now the car feels so high tech…got any video with installation of the rear camera?

Hello, How to configure the steering wheel controls? And how do you keep the music when reversing like the radio? Thank you.

Hi mate, I have a 2018 318i with 6.5 inch screen, factory fitted reverse camera with no gps. It is an ID6 EVO version with a base model audio system. I want to upgrade to exactly the same unit that you have installed. My car does not come with an aux input port in the middle armrest compartment and only has a USB port. Can I still get this working on my car, the installation seems straight forward and I do not see any issues there. I wish someone can answer my query and I can go ahead with the purchase

Can you fit this to a 2014 m135i? Do you supply and fit and what is the cost? I’m in north Hertfordshire. Thanks

I thought the 10.25 can only fit the f30 whilst the 8.8 fits the f22?

Hey! Great video! Just a question, some instructions ask you about optical cable to connect into the adapter but you and also me don’t’have this. It is correct?

Hey super nice Vid,is this also work for F46 ?

Looks great!! Did it need coding?

I have brought this this android screen used. When I'm using the gps I put it and aux and the gps works fine but no sound from the radio. How can I get both of them to work at the same time? Thanks

Will this work with Harmon Kardon system in F20 2017 model?

Hi, I recently bought a BMW 1 series 2013 with 1 of these screens fitted but it's stuck on android boot mode and none of the buttons work, please help

Thanks for the kind instruction! Is it require additional aux connection for the sound output at car speakers? or just enough with the connections of the instruction? (except usage of the bluetooth connection)

Once I’ve plugged everything in and check to see if it’s all working. I get a “No signal” message on the idrive side of things.. any idea why this might be? I have double checked the connections but nothing has helped

Can you use the USB port for the dab radio receiver?!

I've just installed this display into my F22 bmw 2 series and I've lost the BMW audio (warning chimes, active sound in sport mode - all the sounds the car makes basically) Can you help me work out what is wrong? The music is working fine, Bluetooth and android auto is playing through the car speakers but I've got no BMW noises at all ? Thank you

Where i can get this display ?

Better than pro nav?

Does the audio come through the car speakers with the set up shown in this video. Or do you have to add in an extra cable wired from this to the aux input in the centre arm rest. I've watched some videos on the MMI boxes, and they seem like a lot more work but also have to add the additional aux wire.

Do the original bmw system options keep working?
