The XTRONS QGBS25CIB12X1 is a 12.3 inch Android screen for the BMW X1 E84 (2009-2015) with the CIC system. It sits alongside the original system, so you keep the CD player, radio and iDrive, and adds wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and built-in 4G.
This screen is designed for X1 models with the CIC system and works alongside it rather than replacing it. Your CD player, radio and iDrive controller stay as they are, and you gain Android apps on a large touch screen.
Sound from the unit plays through the car's AUX input, so AUX needs to be enabled. If your car has no AUX input, or it doesn't work, you'll need an FM transmitter; XTRONS CA/ITR/FM02 is compatible.
The 12.3 inch QHD 2K panel runs at 2400 x 900 and is fully laminated, which cuts reflections between the glass and the display. IPS gives accurate colour from both front seats, and G+G touch glass makes it responsive to the touch.
CarPlay is built in and runs wirelessly, so your iPhone connects when you get in and stays in your pocket. Maps, messages, calls and music show on the 12.3 inch screen.
Full-featured Android Auto puts Google Maps, calls and your music apps on the screen with controls made for driving.
With a SIM card fitted, the unit has its own mobile data. That means live traffic on the map, music streaming and online apps without tethering your phone, and you can share the connection with passengers.
Wi-Fi on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz lets the unit join a hotspot or your home network for app downloads and updates.
Add an XTRONS DAB+ tuner (USBDAB01, USBDAB02, USBDAB04, ACUSBDAB05T or ACUSBDAB06) to receive digital radio stations through the unit.
A microphone cable is in the box. For clearer hands-free calls you can add an XTRONS external microphone such as MIC001, MIC002, MIC003 or ACMIC005.
The unit works with XTRONS reversing cameras including CAM009S (AHD 720P), ACCAM716S (AHD 1080P), CAM1080 (AHD 1080P) and ACCAM10802 (AHD 1080P), so you can see behind the car on the big screen when parking.
An external XTRONS DVR, such as DVR028S or ACDVR2K01 (ADAS), records your journey on the road.
With an XTRONS OBD2 scanner (OBD01S, OBD02, OBD03 or OBD04) the screen can show live data and trouble codes from the car's computer, so you know what a warning light means before you visit a garage.
Fit an XTRONS TPMS kit (TPMSO7 or TPMS08) and the sensors show each tyre's pressure on the head unit as you drive.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 octa-core processor reaches up to 2.0GHz and runs Android 14. With 6GB LPDDR4 RAM and 64GB UFS storage, you can install plenty of apps and switch between maps and music without waiting.

First check that your X1 has the CIC system: the radio usually has a 4-pin LVDS port, a CIC interface and a CD button on the iDrive controller. Cars with NBT need XTRONS QGBS25NB12X1N and cars with EVO need QGBS25EVB12X1N instead. The unit's sound goes through the car's AUX input, which must be enabled; without a working AUX input you'll need an FM transmitter such as XTRONS CA/ITR/FM02. An ISO wiring harness, a plastic bracket and installation instructions are in the box.
