Simple to install and works beautifully. Takes the BMW infotainment and gives it a full makeover. Pros - easy install if you take your time. I removed most of the trim the night before so I could spend most of my time with the niggly parts of it. Took about an hour but could do it in far less now I've done it once. Good clear screen. Resolution is good and movement between apps is seamless. Bluetooth connection - so far has been flawless. Connects every time I get in the car and auto plays what I was last listening to. Cons - audio is not the best and will need fiddling with to get it sounding less bassy. Unless it's my hearing, the vocals come through less pronounced than the music so may need some tweaks. Takes over the original BWV software - although the guides tell you it goes back and forth with a touch of a button, it doesn't. As soon as you hold the switch button, it goes back for about five seconds and then switches back to RoadTop. It's annoying if you want to go through the car settings etc but can't as it keeps switching. Overall I love it so far. Well worth the money. Edit 06/01/24 Sound is still an issue but it was heavily bassy due to having set the aux volume to 10 instead of 1. It's now super quiet so will need some tweaking. Back and forth - figured out the swap between Roadtop and BMW was actually pressing the menu button so now it goes between both effortlessly. User error. A month in and I still love it and my issues are really very minor now. Just need to get the audio tweaked and it will be golden. Review: Worthwhile upgrade - As long as you have patience and the right tools (torx bits and trim a removal tool) then this can be installed in about an hour, following the video from the manufacturer or other on your tube. I didn't bother disconnecting the battery. Having a long USB cable allows you to run it under the carpet to the central armrest for a wired connection which seems to be more reliable. Out of the box- the device had a very heavy loudness setting which caused bass distortion but once this was turned off the quality is very good. The only main negative is that you can't listen to DAB/FM radio and hear carplay at the same time, but apps for radio listening are available ## Features - 1.

Surely the exisitng lvds out cable runs from back seat to display?** A: Hello,If you put Carplay in the back seat, the original lvds cable from the host to the screen is very long. The screen that our Carplay signal cannot transmit or the transmitted signal is relatively poor, resulting in a flash screen. Carplay transmits signals through the LVDS line, so we hope you are installed in the glove box. Carplay is too far away from the home screen, causing the signal to bad. and then the Carplay interface will flash. we always suggest install into gloves box。 **Q: Will this work on a 2016 f31 with nbt system** A: Are you sure your car is NBT system? If yes, you can check this link for your car: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B084R9SVZG?ref=myi_title_dp. Or you can contact us and send us a picture of your car dashboard, then we can help you to confirm whether your car is NBT system, or EVO system. **Q: Why is the carplay always on? my car is parked and locked and my phone still connects to the carplay after a couple of hours** A: Please check this following steps: a. Lock the car. Press the lock button on the car key twice. b. Take the car key to 15-20 meters away from the car, wait for 5 minutes c. Let the car key stay 15-20 meters away from the car, bring the mobile phone close to the car window d. check if the phone can search or connect to the carplay bluetooth/wifi ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great upgrade *by M***. on 19 December 2023* Looked at this for sometime before taking the plunge.

I've received a software update from the manufacturer that improved resolution - had to try different USB drives to get the update working. Installation process would've been easier if it could be installed under back seat and day/night mode isn't switching in android auto with my phone, but otherwise it works. Assistant volume was much louder than music - this had to be adjusted in device settings rather than on phone. ## Frequently Bought Together - Road Top Wireless Carplay Android Auto for BMW i3 I01 2012-2017 Year with NBT System, Carplay Retrofit Kit Decoder, Support Camera, Mirrorlink, Navigation - OBDLink CX Bimmercode Bluetooth 5.1 OBD2 Adapter for BMW/Mini, Works with iPhone/iOS & Android, Car Coding, OBD II Diagnostic Scanner - Veepeak OBDCheck BLE Bluetooth OBD II Scanner Car OBD Code Reader Auto Diagnostic Tool for iOS & Android --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/222686024-road-top-wireless-carplay-interface-decoder-for-bmw-i3-i01](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/222686024-road-top-wireless-carplay-interface-decoder-for-bmw-i3-i01) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
