The XTRONS QLB42FVNBGT is a 14.9 inch Android 13 screen for the BMW 5 Series F07 GT (2013-2018) with the NBT system. It replaces the factory display with a wide, fully laminated screen and adds wireless CarPlay, wireless Android Auto and 4G, while the original CD player stays.
- Wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto
- 14.9 inch fully laminated QLED IPS screen with a 2.5D edge
- 12nm octa-core chip with 4GB DDR4 RAM and 64GB storage
- Built-in 4G module with a SIM card slot
- Mini microphone included for hands-free calls
Wireless Apple CarPlay
CarPlay connects to your iPhone without a cable, so maps, messages and music appear across the 14.9 inch screen. The phone can stay in your pocket.
It reconnects each time you get in, with nothing to plug in.
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 also connects wirelessly, with navigation, calls and music on the wide screen and controlled by touch or voice.
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.
14.9 inch QLED screen
The 14.9 inch screen is slim and fully laminated, with a custom bezel and a 2.5D edge that give the GT a full-width display like newer BMWs. QLED gives strong, vivid colour.
IPS viewing angles
As an IPS panel, the screen stays clear from the passenger seat, which matters on a display this wide.
Octa-core performance
A flagship 12nm octa-core chip (2xCortex-A75 2.0GHz + 6xCortex-A55) runs Android 13 with 4GB DDR4 RAM and 64GB of storage.
The unit works alongside the car's original system, so the CD player doesn't need removing.
Built-in 4G
Insert a SIM card and the built-in 4G module gives the unit its own internet connection for navigation and streaming. A 4G antenna and SIM card slot are included.
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 connects the unit to a hotspot or your home network for downloads and updates.
Built-in DSP
The built-in DSP lets you adjust the sound from the unit's settings to suit the car's speakers.
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.
RCA audio output
An RCA audio output lets you connect an external amplifier if you want more power later.
RCA pre-outputs send a clean, low-level signal to an external amplifier or subwoofer. Count the channels you need (front, rear and sub) against the outputs in the specifications. You'll also need RCA leads and power wiring for the amplifier.
Screen mirroring
Screen mirroring shows your phone's display on the head unit, useful for apps outside CarPlay and Android Auto while 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
A USB cable is included for media from a USB stick or a wired phone connection.
Mini microphone
A mini microphone comes in the box. Placed near the driver, it picks up your voice clearly on calls.
360 camera support
The unit supports a 360 camera, sold separately, for an all-round view when parking a car of the GT's length.

- For BMW 5 Series F07 GT (2013-2018) NBT System Vehicles
- BMW 5 Series (1995 onwards)
- This unit ONLY works with the original BMW NBT system. A NBT system car radio usually comes with a 6-pin LVDS port, a "MEDIA" button on the iDrive controller or a touch pad iDrive controller, A BMW ConnectedDrive interface.
| Make | Model | Years | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BMW | 5 Series (F07) | 2009–2017 |
The screen replaces the factory display and only works with the original BMW NBT system; the CD player stays in place. Sound plays through the car's AUX input, which must be enabled. Without an AUX input you'll need an FM transmitter such as the XTRONS CA/ITR/FM02 or CA/ITR/FM03.
How do I know if my GT has NBT?
NBT usually has a 6-pin LVDS port, a "MEDIA" button or touch pad on the iDrive controller and a BMW ConnectedDrive interface. A "Car ConnectedDrive" interface on its own doesn't guarantee NBT.
What if my car has no AUX input?
You'll need an FM transmitter; the XTRONS CA/ITR/FM02 and CA/ITR/FM03 are compatible.
Do I keep the CD player?
Yes. The unit works with the original system and the CD player doesn't need removing.
