Hi guys,

Beside some very great input from MJE60 on replacing my 6UN 6.5" touchscreen with an OEM 8.8", I have also been looking at switching to an 10.25" Android due to costs and functionality.

I don't need Apple Carplay, I mainly want to be able to run Google maps, Waze etc. as BMW navigation is simply not good enough.

However, all sites i have been looking at for an 8.1 Android says that it is not compatible in a bmw X1 F48 model 2018 if it already has an OEM touchscreen unit installed.

Does anyone have a solution to this and if so does anyone know if my current controller will work for an Android 10.25" screen?

Lastly, does anyone know if there is a new model on its way to the market or can the screen simply update its Android system when a new release is ready?

Cheers and thanks for your time.
