- Wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto

For the 1 and 2 Series with NBT EVO
This screen fits right-hand drive BMW 1 Series F20 and F21 cars from 2011-2016 and the 2 Series F23 Cabrio from 2013-2017, and only works with the original NBT EVO system. NBT EVO has a 6-pin LVDS port and shows NBTevo_xxxx and Automatic map update in the version info. For NBT cars, which have a MEDIA button or touch pad on the iDrive controller, choose the XTRONS QLB22NB12NER.
The Android side works alongside the car’s original system, and the CD player doesn’t need removing. When you switch back to the original system, its touch and gesture control won’t work, but the iDrive controller does.
Wireless Apple CarPlay
CarPlay connects your iPhone without a cable, so maps, music and calls show on the 12.3 inch screen while the phone stays in your pocket.
Your iPhone connects on its own when you start the car, so there's no cable to plug in. It needs an iPhone with wireless CarPlay support; check yours in Settings > General > CarPlay. A cable still works when you'd rather charge on the way.
Wireless Android Auto
Android Auto connects wirelessly too, putting Google Maps and music apps on the screen in a layout made for driving.
Maps, calls, messages and music from your Android phone appear on the car screen, with Google Assistant for voice control. It needs a phone with Google services, which most Android phones have. To connect without a cable, the phone must support wireless Android Auto too.
Built-in 4G
Insert a SIM card and the built-in 4G module gives the unit its own data connection, so navigation, video and games run without lag or tethering to your phone.
A SIM card in the head unit gives it its own internet connection for maps, traffic and streaming, so it doesn't need your phone's hotspot. You supply the SIM and the data plan; a data-only SIM is usually the cheapest way to do it.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi lets the unit join a hotspot or your home network for app downloads and updates.
12.3 inch IPS screen
The 12.3 inch IPS screen is fully laminated in an ultra-slim, tailor-made bezel. It reduces reflections, so the picture stays clear in sunlight and from the passenger seat.
DSP sound
A built-in DSP lets you adjust how the sound is processed, so you can tune the audio to suit the cabin.
The sound processor lets you tune the sound to your car: an equaliser, a delay for each speaker so the sound centres on your seat, and crossovers that keep deep bass away from small speakers. Start from a preset and change one setting at a time.
External microphone
An external microphone can be connected for clearer hands-free calls and voice commands.
Screen mirroring
Screen mirroring shows your phone's display on the 12.3 inch screen, useful for apps that don't run in CarPlay or Android Auto. It's best used when parked.
Mirroring shows your phone's whole screen on the car screen, unlike CarPlay and Android Auto, which show apps designed for driving. It usually needs a companion app on the phone, and paid video streaming apps often block it.
USB
USB lets you connect a phone or play music and video from a USB drive.
DAB radio
The unit supports an external DAB tuner for digital radio, sold separately.
Digital radio gives clearer sound and more stations than FM where there's DAB coverage. It needs a DAB aerial: a stick-on windscreen aerial is the usual choice, or a splitter if your car already has a combined FM and DAB aerial.
Performance
A 12nm Octa-core chip (2xCortex-A75 + 6xCortex-A55) runs Android 13 with 4GB DDR4 RAM and 64GB solid state ROM, giving quick response with low power use.
