A 14.9 inch Android 13 screen for the BMW X5 F15 and X6 F16 (2014-2017) with the NBT system. It works alongside the original system, keeps the CD player, and adds wireless CarPlay, wireless Android Auto and 4G.
This 14.9 inch screen has a slim, fully laminated design with a custom bezel and 2.5D edge, made for these BMWs. It blends Android with the original NBT system, and you don't need to remove the CD player.
Sound from the Android side plays through the car's AUX input, which must be enabled. If there's no AUX input, you'll need an adapter (XTRONS CA/ITR/FM02 and CA/ITR/FM03 are compatible, not included).
CarPlay connects without a cable, so your iPhone's maps, calls and music appear on the wide screen while the phone stays in your pocket.
Android Auto connects wirelessly too, putting Google Maps and your music apps on the dash.
The QLED screen gives strong, rich colour across the full 14.9 inch width, so maps and media are easy to read at a glance.
It's an IPS panel, so the picture stays clear from the passenger seat as well as from the driver's.
A flagship 12nm octa-core chip (2xCortex-A75 2.0GHz + 6xCortex-A55) with 4GB DDR4 RAM and 64GB of solid state storage runs Android 13 with lower energy use.
Insert a SIM card in the supplied slot and the unit has its own 4G connection for navigation, video and games. It supports 99% of carriers worldwide, but check your SIM works in this kind of device.
Wi-Fi connects the screen to a phone hotspot or your home network for updates and streaming.
A GPS antenna is in the box, so navigation apps work without your phone.
The built-in DSP lets you adjust the sound settings to suit the car and what you listen to.
Screen mirroring shows your phone's display on the 14.9 inch screen, for apps that don't run in CarPlay or Android Auto.
A USB cable comes in the box for connecting a phone or USB drive.
A mini microphone is included. Fitted near the driver, it picks up your voice clearly for calls and voice commands.
The RCA audio output lets you connect an external amplifier if you want to add more power to the system.
The unit supports a 360 camera, which shows the area around the car on the wide screen when you're parking.

It's a plug-and-play replacement for the factory display, with an ISO wiring harness, fix mount, face panel, screws and installation instructions supplied. Check your car has NBT first: it has a 6-pin LVDS port and a MEDIA button or touch pad on the iDrive controller. Audio runs through the car's AUX input, or an adapter if there isn't one.
NBT has a 6-pin LVDS port and a MEDIA button or touch pad on the iDrive controller. A CarConnectDrive screen on its own doesn't prove it.
