A 10.25 inch Android 14 car stereo for the BMW X5 E53 (1999-2006), with a 1920×720 QLED IPS screen and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor. It adds wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, 4G and an HD output for a rear screen.
CarPlay connects your iPhone without a cable, bringing maps, calls and music onto the 10.25 inch screen as soon as you're in the car.
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 phones get Android Auto, with Google Maps and your music apps on the wide screen and large controls that are easy to use while 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.
The 10.25 inch high definition quantum dot screen runs at 1920×720 and shows strong, clear colour. It plays 4K video.
The IPS panel keeps the picture clear at wide angles, so the passenger can see it as well as the driver.
A Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 with a Kryo260 CPU (4x Cortex A73 and 4x Cortex A53 cores) runs at up to 2.0GHz on an 11nm process. 8GB RAM and 256GB ROM give you room for apps, maps and media, and Android 14 runs smoothly.
The Si47925 audio processor adds DTS decoding, and the DSP lets you tune the sound to the X5's cabin. Fully digital audio output helps keep interference out of the sound.
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.
The automotive-grade TDA7808 amplifier chip uses high-efficiency digital processing to drive the speakers.
The built-in amplifier drives your car's speakers directly, which is all most cars need. If your car has a factory amplifier, as many premium sound systems do, it usually stays in use and may need an adapter, so check before ordering.
Optical and RCA audio outputs let you add an external amplifier or processor if you want to build a bigger system.
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.
The built-in HD port sends video to another screen, so passengers in the back can watch a film from the stereo.
It sends video from the head unit to headrest or roof screens, so passengers can watch on the move. The screens need an input that matches this output, so check the connection type in the specifications before buying them.
With a SIM fitted, the stereo has its own 4G connection for navigation apps, tracking and sharing the internet with passengers. It supports LTE bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38 and 40 in Europe, so check your network uses them.
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 connects the stereo to a hotspot or your home network for streaming and updates.
Screen mirroring shows your phone's display on the 10.25 inch screen, for apps that don't run in CarPlay or Android Auto.
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.
Two USB cables come in the box for connecting a phone or playing media from a USB drive.
The stereo supports a microphone for hands-free calls and voice commands.
Digital radio is supported with an external DAB tuner connected to the stereo.
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.

The stereo comes with an ISO wiring harness, CANbus box and cable, fitting kits and a face panel. Depending on the car you may need extra cables: ISOFZ or FZMF extensions for the radio antenna, an EXL007 extension cable for a DSP button or Harman Kardon system, ICE/ACS/BMWDSP01 for a blue 12pin plug, or an FOBB05 decoder for a fibre optic amplifier. If there's a frame in the centre console, remove it first.
An extension cable (XTRONS EXL007 is compatible). With a fibre optic amplifier system you'll also need a decoder, such as XTRONS FOBB05.
Yes. The HD output sends video from the stereo to another screen.
It supports the European LTE bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38 and 40. Check with your network that your SIM uses these bands.
No, this unit doesn't have a DVD drive.
