This works as an add-on to idrive right? All original idrive functionality is retained? e.g. I can play music over factory bluetooth and have android auto or carplay up on screen?
The rear view cam and overhead view is still the factory button/interface?

Sure not problem, yes iDrive is the main interface when you start your car, this box adds the CarPlay and Android Auto interface as an add-on, to view the CarPlay interface just press the 8 button or hold the menu button for 2 seconds, and to return to your iDrive interface just hold the menu button for 2 seconds again, you can still use all the iDrive options like you always do, including using the BMW music interface, DVD, BMW navigation, BMW Apps, everything.
The best thing abouth this device is that you can also retrofit a front and rear camera if your car doesn't have one from the factory, if you already have parking cameras then they will work without any problems.
