BMW E39 9 inch Android Head Unit with Wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and DAB+ | PXP9439BGDAB

DAB+ is built in, so digital stations are there without adding a separate tuner. The DAB chip uses noise cancelling and signal optimisation to keep reception clear.

An SI4755 radio with RDS covers FM as well.

CarPlay connects without a cable, putting maps, messages and music on the 9 inch screen and letting you use voice commands. It supports iPhone 5 and later models with iOS 8 and above.

Full-featured Android Auto puts navigation, calls and music from your Android phone on the screen. It supports Android phones with Android 4.3 and above.

The automotive-grade AKM DSP chip lets you shape the sound with customisable modes and EQ settings, so you can set it up for the music you play most.

The 9 inch 1280×720 capacitive touch screen uses G+G glass and IPS technology. Colours don't shift when viewed from an angle, so the passenger sees the same picture as the driver.

A 12nm octa-core 2.2GHz processor runs Android 14 with 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage. It's tested to run from −30°C to +80°C and plays 2K video.

A TDA7388 amplifier drives the car's speakers.

Insert a Micro-SIM card and the unit has its own 4G connection for maps and streaming. A 4G antenna and a SIM card slot cable are included.

A separate Wi-Fi antenna comes in the box, helping the unit keep a steady connection to a hotspot or your home network.

A GPS antenna is included for navigation apps on the unit. Gyroscope sensors also show ride height, roll and pitch angles, along with a compass.

A microphone is included. Mounted near the driver, it picks up your voice for hands-free calls and voice commands.

Screen mirroring shows your phone's display on the head unit, useful for apps outside CarPlay and Android Auto while parked.

Two USB cables are included. USB tethering lets the unit use your phone's mobile data over a cable, and AHD cameras connect through the included camera cable.
