Reverse cam works as expected. However, not the best picture quality. This could have been better.

For the most part CarPlay works but steering control buttons for phone and voice commands don’t work. Also the screen feels laggy and streaming music on CarPlay is running 8-10 secs behind the actual phone audio.
I also not been able to find way to increase the brightness of the screen nor change the boot/startup logo.

FYI - I don’t have the optical cable on car and cannot use the OEM Bluetooth along with screen built in Bluetooth.

I haven't received it.

Recently I installed the carplay unit and I'm verry happy! Ok, it was not verry easy to install it in my bmw 3, because the space behind the dashboard is quit small. But it works! The glare can be pretty annoying. Great service, easy contact with the seller. Thank you!

The best MMI system for all cars - I installed this on my BMW i8 and it is amazing. I need a replacement now, and will be in touch with customer service for that. Great product.

The 10.25 unit itself is not perfect but was easy to install (took me about an hour from start to finish). I have the built in navigation professional and there is no space behind for an MMI box so this was definitely the way to go. The support from Wang has been excellent. A few possible improvements:

Allow more than one phone to pair. This is probably the biggest drawback.

Give option to turn off short cut buttons on the iDrive controller

Would be nice to have some alternative startup graphics, just for fun.

Screen is very reflective. I am going to try this and see how it goes :

Overall price performance is excellent, thank you very much. I have ordered the reverse camera as well, looking forward to the total experience

I recently purchased the Andream 10.25" Wireless CarPlay Android Auto for my BMW X5 and I must say, I am extremely impressed with the product. Firstly, I would like to commend the seller for their prompt delivery service. Despite my initial concerns about shipping times, the product arrived at my doorstep in just 4 days, which was a pleasant surprise.

Moving on to the actual device, the touch screen is excellent. It is highly responsive and provides a smooth and effortless user experience. Navigating through different menus and apps is a breeze, and I have not experienced any lag or delays while using it. The screen resolution is impressive as well, providing crisp and clear visuals.

One of the standout features of this product is its seamless integration with the original radio and i-drive control system in my BMW X5. The installation process was relatively straightforward, and I was able to connect it to my car's system without any issues. The wireless CarPlay and Android Auto functionalities work flawlessly, allowing me to easily access my favorite apps, make calls, send messages, and use navigation features, all while keeping my eyes on the road.

Moreover, the integration with the i-drive control system is a game-changer. I can control various functions of the device using the i-drive controller, which makes it even more convenient and safe to use while driving. The fact that I can still utilize the original features of my car alongside this upgraded system adds an extra layer of functionality and enhances the overall driving experience.

In conclusion, I highly recommend the Andream 10.25" Wireless CarPlay Android Auto for BMW X5 owners. With its fast delivery, excellent touch screen, and seamless integration with the original radio and i-drive control, this product has exceeded my expectations. It has truly transformed my driving experience, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

I've had my Andream unit installed for 9 months now.

I still love it. I'm in New Zealand my 2013 BMW F11 (CIC) was imported from Japan (common here), my fourth BMW, others all E39s. The local BMW dealers refused to help with maps. Referred me to an outfit that would have charged over $1,500 NZ. The Andream unit cost me about $400 NZ.

I did have issues with initial installation, I can now confidently remove the dash and CIC unit and put back in again in about 15 mins. I had a lot of practise :(

The various videos available on YouTube are certainly useful, I wouldn't have attempted installation without them. BUT make sure you carefully follow the actual connection instructions on PDF Andream will send you. My problem was that in all the videos I watched they disconnected VDS (display) cable from back of screen and used supplied cable from MMI Box to screen. I convinced myself that cable was faulty, but it wasn't.

When I connected MMI Box directly to Head Unit with the correct cables as clearly marked on the PDF from Andream all was well.

Support from Wang was prompt and courteous. Thank you Andream. I have recommended you to the dealer that sold me the car and my mechanic, I wont hesitate to recommend to others.

Installed on a 2013 BMW F30. I highly recommend this product over the Bimmerteck product. Not that it is better but for essentially the same purpose you pay half the price and yes there are no instruction. BUT there are plenty of relevant tutorial material on the web. My own tutorial would be to watch these first two videos from Kies Motorsports. I am adding a third. All three are for Bimmerteck device but it is essentially the same for Andream. Simply the best of the kind with detailed advice. This guy is simply the clearest of them all.

You can also download the following guide for the wiring connection of the camera and the software coding necessary which is very minimal:

https://www.scribd.com/document/514395526/NBT-Carplay-Instalation-and-User-Manual

And no you will likely not need to wire the camera on your rear lightning system to activate the camera – the box now recognize activation. You will have an extra relay in the box that you won t need to install. If you are lucky you may not have to install the mic and the audio extra wiring but if you do like me it is extremely straightforward.
There are some intricacies you will struggle with. For the NBT system, you will likely need to fishwire the mic which is a pain but relatively easy. Your dipswitch will be 1,2 and 3 set to on the box. The camera is powered by the yellow reverse line wire upfront. You will need to tape your connection or at least install two good connectors (used gauge 18). I would also advise you to tape your RCA plug as car vibrations will make them lose over time.

For beginners – take your time when you unplug the various components. Old plastic parts can break easily. Once done, test your set up before putting everything back in place. You will need T20 and T25 screwdrivers. Have zip ties to attach your wires – don t let them too lose. Hope this helps.

I bought this to get Carplay, and it does just that. It was missing 2 bolts to connect the new plastic piece to the screen, which makes no sense to me why they wouldn't include this. But after a trip to the hardware store bought 2 screws and nuts that made it attach for a couple bucks...still, very inconvenient when you've taken everything apart and realize you need those things to make it work. If it werent for that, I'd give this a 5. Everything else is very simple if you just go watch a youtube video on it. Also, if you're car had the Aux in, just connect the harnesses, and it will just work, you don't need to use the 3.5mm male to male cable they provide. It also took 16 days from the day that I ordered it to get to me. They provide a tracking number that you have to figure a 3rd party site to track it with, but it is trackable.

This Radio made my BMW X6 2013 look like a newer model!! Very stylish and classy!! Everything was in the Box that was needed, don’t come with information, so you need someone that knows what they’re doing! Setting up blue tube was a little difficult. Other then that the product is very good 👍🏽

Nice retrofit implementation for wireless CarPlay. Instructions could be more clear, but overall it performs well with great integration to existing hardware.

At first I was skeptical that I would be up to the task of installing it. But I have to say the installation was easier than I planned, I did a quick install according to the installation instructions they provided. I have Android Auto in my car and love it! Although sometimes the connection is a bit problematic, the complete and perfect functions have made me very happy. I recommend it!

If you have a MDI connection and aux isn't showing up you must plug in a MDI cable and it'll show up. You don't have to connect anything to MDI cable besides plugging it into the car.

No instructions

They sent me an email to review it before i have gotten a single shipping update since day of purchase.

I added an NBT-BOX to my BMW F30. There were a few minor issues during installation and customer service quickly resolved the issue for me.
I installed the MMI box under the glove box… there is a good place. CarPlay works fine, connected to my iPhone when I start my car. Sadly I didn't buy the camera, I only have the camera from the original car...maybe I'll buy another one here, I think it would be great.
Friendly price and satisfactory service are the reasons why I choose them!

I have a 2016 BMW 228i F23 and it works perfectly!

I bought the Andream MMI box to retrofit Android Auto to my BMW X5. I did a lot of research beforehand, as there are a lot of similar products on the market - and Andream seemed to provide the best value per dollar, and had more general feedback online, so I felt more comfortable going with Andream. I watched YouTube installation videos beforehand, and physical installation was relatively straightforward. I did have a few hiccups, but the Andream support team was very responsive in helping me troubleshoot with the configuration, as well as a potential hardware compatibility issue. Understand that the support team is overseas, so if you're in the US like me, you'll likely be on off-hours - (they answered my questions overnight, so I had an answer in the morning). This was perfectly fine with me, and the customer support always responded like clockwork to my questions.

Worst part is tucking the new harness in. Easy and straightforward.

Thank you so much for your fair pricing and it's almost half off of what other people are selling it for thank you for getting back to us quickly.
