BMW Carplay / Android Auto
BMW Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto Integration
If you are shopping for a BMW CarPlay retrofit, the first thing to know is simple: BMW did not use one infotainment system for every model. That is why some kits are listed by iDrive family and others by chassis. Pick the match and the install is straightforward. Pick the wrong one and nothing lines up.
This category covers the main BMW setups people ask for in 2026:
- a flexible retrofit module for iDrive CIC, NBT ID4 and NBT EVO ID5/ID6
- model-focused solutions for BMW 3 and 4 Series 2012–2016, BMW 5 Series F10 2012–2016, and BMW X5 F15 2014–2016
One category, two ways to choose
If you already know your iDrive type, use the CIC, NBT ID4, or NBT EVO ID5/ID6 selection. This route is popular when you want one BMW wireless CarPlay and Android Auto kit that fits a broad range of vehicles.
If you prefer to shop by model, use the dedicated listings for 3/4 Series, 5 Series F10, and X5 F15. These kits are aimed at owners who want a direct match for the car’s display and trim layout, with less guesswork.
What the retrofit adds
You keep the factory screen and the normal iDrive menus. CarPlay and Android Auto run as an added interface, so you can switch over when you want phone navigation, calls, messages, Spotify and other apps on the OEM display.
The CIC/NBT/EVO kit supports wireless Apple CarPlay using Bluetooth for pairing and Wi-Fi for data. If you prefer a cable connection, wired CarPlay is also possible. Android Auto is supported as well, and many customers use it day to day exactly like a newer BMW.
Optional inputs and features (varies by kit)
- Front and rear camera inputs (where supported)
- HDMI input (where supported)
- USB media playback (where supported)
- Built-in EQ controls (where supported)
The goal is not to replace iDrive, but to add the smartphone layer you actually use.
Delivery, trust, and support
CarPlay / Android Auto integration kits are shipped with tracking and are typically delivered via DHL.
