Hi there, sorry wanted to check does yours have any issues with DAB radio and rattle sounds from the actual screen unit? I bought mine from ewaying but having issues with it and they have agreed to give a refund.
Shall appreciate your feedback. QUOTE=BrennanF30;22399102]Got my Android screen fitted to my F30 last night, essentially the new screen is an Android tablet inside but built specifically for BMW 3 & 4 series cars as an aftermarket replacement display. It is a 10.25" full HD 1080p touchscreen display running the latest Android OS, optimised for BMW cars. It has a host of features including Navigation, internet browser, DVD playback, to name but a few. Whilst the system runs a stand alone Android OS, a quick tap on one of the options on the screen brings you back to BMW original idrive system should you need to change any car settings. Full HD 1080P music videos and movies can also be watched full screen in high definition, uploaded onto the system via USB. Im very pleased with the smoothness and responsiveness of the screen, it goes above and beyond my expectations of it, it looks and feels OEM and it is a true multimedia experience in your car, a great solution for anyone looking to upgrade from their very basic screen or pro nav screen. Please note, this is not the Avin USA screen you have saw elsewhere on the forum, they seem to have major build quality issues. This one is much different has been developed for use on the European market. [/QUOTE] |

No issues with DAB or rattles from the screen, it’s a perfect fit and very secure. Feels like it was factory fitted |

Hi, sorry to bring this thread back up but I am looking at this screen (also considering upgrade to 8.8"). Is that part on the right hand side like an info display with just speed and fuel reserve? Can you have the map on the right hand side instead ? Ideally I want my radio stations down the left and then map on right for example.

Since my original post I am probably going to go for OEM 8.8" retrofit since I never managed to find out if the split screen is supported on the Android unit and it'll work out roughly £100 cheaper. |

Got the latest Android 9.0 pie from Avinusa.
Seems decent enough and they’ve discounted the price a fair bit on their web site. Beware that some of the cheaper units aren’t quite as robust. ADC a uk based unit showed the difference on the FB group

Reopening this thread. I have recently installed an Android 11 version in my 4 series. The lastest specification screens are very fast and very responsive. Snapdragron 662 processor is the one to go for. I chose the 6gb Rom and 128gb ram. Very impressed. I also used the OEM GPS with the Android screeen by using and splitter cable instead of the add on GPS. This gives fantastic GPS signals. I also added a DAB usb dongle to the screen to give me DAB radio. Instead of using the windscreen aerial that comes with the DAB dongle, I used the OEM DAB aerial by using a splitter cable. It works well too. When using the splitters, all the orignial BMW GPS and DAB work perfectly. Let me know if you need any information on the Android unit or the DAB splitter cables.

Not directly related to the original post, but does anyone know if it's possible to get just a touch screen to replace the OEM pronav screen? I have android auto/carplay installed with a MMI box but I'd like a touchscreen instead of having to use the iDrive wheel the whole time..

I linked to this, but if there are better options out there (particularly ensuring high sound quality which I understand can be an issue), please post here. ta! https://droiduk.com/product/bmw-3-se...82-android-11/ This one is a touch IPS screen and nothing indicates it wouldn't work on the 4-series. I'm sure there are cheaper Aliexpress options, but not sure what is the best choice at the moment. Btw, is 10.25" bigger than the OEM screen?

Cheers for that. The one you linked seems like a full android unit though which I don't really need. Ideally I'd just like a replacement screen with touch functionality. They might not exist though as all I can see from looking online are full android units haha. |

I know this is an older topic guys but just wondering have any of you had issues with Droiduk screens and google maps working over wifi/hotspot/sim?
I just can't get mine to always see where I am on the map or plan the route and it's driving me mad. I cleared the storage/cache for google maps and it worked once but since then it just sits there doing nothing like it can't get a signal of my location. Everything else works connection-wise, apps all update can stream etc. Droid uk suggested uninstalling google maps and retrying but I don't think you can unless you wipe the unit and start again as it's a base app. Going to try downloading some of google maps and see if it can plan routes then if that doesn't work maybe set the unit back to default and retry. |
