About this part
A wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto module that works with your BMW's original screen. It connects behind the display or head unit, so the car keeps its own iDrive system. There are two versions: one for the CIC system and one for NBT (iDrive 4).

Check before ordering: choose CIC or NBT to match your iDrive system; they aren't interchangeable. On 2012-2013 cars it's hard to tell them apart, so we advise checking the display (LVDS) plug behind the head unit: NBT has 6 pins, CIC has 4. Not for MINI, i3 or i4. The module doesn't include a screen.
