2006-2013 BMW X5 E70 Wirless CarPlay/Android Auto Touch Screen

📦 Overview

• Compatibility: Designed for BMW X5 (E70, 2007–2013) and BMW X6 (E71/E72) with CCC or CIC head-unit systems.

• Screen: 10.25″ (some marketed as “10-inch”) capacitive IPS touchscreen; integrates into OEM dashboard without major trim alteration.

• System: Linux-based multimedia system (not an Android-based stereo by default) that overlays/adds Apple CarPlay & Android Auto support.

✅ Key Features & Functions

• Wireless & Wired CarPlay / Android Auto: Supports both connection methods — you can plug in or connect over Wi-Fi / Bluetooth for smartphone integration.

• Smartphone Integration: Control navigation, music, calls, messaging, and compatible apps on your phone via the car’s screen. Siri and Google Assistant voice commands are supported.

• OEM System Retained: Your original BMW functions — iDrive controller, steering-wheel controls, parking sensors, cameras (reverse, optional 360°) — remain fully functional.

• Media Playback: USB support for music/video playback; Bluetooth for calls/audio; built-in microphone for hands-free calling.

• Camera & Reverse Assist: Supports original rear-view camera (or optional aftermarket cameras) — automatically switches to camera view when reversing.

• Plug-and-Play Installation: Designed to replace OEM screen with minimal wiring/splicing (though professional installation is often recommended).

⚠️ Important Notes / Limitations

• This is typically not a full Android head unit — the new screen adds CarPlay/Android Auto, but some functions depend on your phone connection.

• Audio output may be via AUX or existing BMW audio wiring — make sure your car has the correct AUX or wiring harness.

• Some functions like screen-mirroring, AirPlay, or built-in navigation may be limited depending on the exact unit’s feature set.
