SKU: QDB10FVNB
The XTRONS QDB10FVNB is a 10.25 inch Android head unit that replaces the factory display in the BMW 5 Series F10/F11 (2013-2016) with the NBT system. You keep the CD player, radio and iDrive, and add wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and 4G.
CarPlay connects wirelessly, so your iPhone's maps, messages and music appear on the 10.25 inch screen. Siri voice commands work through the unit.
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.
Android Auto supports both wireless and wired connections, with Google Assistant for voice requests and navigation on the big screen.
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.
The unit is made for BMWs with their original OS and matches the dashboard. The CD player, radio and iDrive all stay, and you swipe the screen to use Android.
The 10.25 inch 1920×720 HD display uses Grade-A G+G touch glass for responsive control. The IPS panel keeps colours consistent from the passenger seat as well.
A true octa-core A55 processor with 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage runs an optimised Android system for smooth multitasking.
The 4G LTE module supports European and Asian networks and comes with a 4G antenna. With a data SIM, navigation and streaming work without 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 lets the unit connect to a hotspot or your home network for downloads and updates.
Screen mirroring puts your phone's display on the car screen, 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.
DAB radio is supported with an external DAB adapter, which is 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.
A USB cable comes in the box, for wired Android Auto or media from a USB stick.
The unit supports a microphone for hands-free calls and voice commands.

This is a plug-and-play replacement for the factory display and only works with the original F10/F11 NBT system. The CD player, radio and iDrive stay in place. Antennas, a USB cable and installation instructions are included.
An NBT system has a 6-pin LVDS port and a "MEDIA" button or touch pad on the iDrive controller. A "Car ConnectedDrive" interface on its own doesn't guarantee NBT.
CIC cars have a 4-pin LVDS port and a "CD" button on the iDrive controller. For CIC, choose the XTRONS QDB10FVCI.
Yes. The CD player, radio and iDrive all stay.
