I've just contacted them and waiting for a response.
It's supposed to work with iDrive but requires an included microphone.

I recently tried out a similar one from Joyeauto you can find on AliExpress which said it was specifically compatible with F48s up until 2017, and I'm sad to say it failed to work properly on a 09/2016 F48 with 8.8" screen.
After being given a software update and many hours of troubleshooting, the best I got was intermittent flashes of the carplay interface and a tech support guy that was adamant my 8.8" display was "special", whatever that means, so I returned it.
I also recently sent an email to Unique Auto Developments asking if their Wireless Carplay box would be compatible with my X1, but no reply yet.
