Avin headunit comes from avin website, I have ordred mine from aliexpress as I live in europe(customs taxes may be avoided as some buyers have a europeen warehouse), if you are located in USA I think that it is better to order from avin, no taxes needs to be payed though, the screens are pretty the same thing, all are made in china. Some of the screens comes with car play already embedded and some needs an external dongle, but IMHO everything you need is already in the android screen, no need to use car play to mirror your phone each time you drive the car.

Hi rafael, thanks for the quick response. I like to use CarPlay so i don't have to fiddle around with the Apps on the unit while driving and just use the iDrive controller. I currently have the small 6.5" screen and have factory back up camera with backup sensors- will everything still work like factory after installing this?
Thanks and I'll check on AVIN's website about ordering. I saw too many options that I didn't know what to order. |

So this can also be added to the standard 6.5 ENTRYNAV2 screen right? |

Hello, the camera was designed to be used for android screen 10.25, the OEM screen will not display the camera output, if you want to have a backup camera for the 6.5 inch OEM screen , you need to buy an OEM camera for BMW that costs arround 300 bucks and you need to code your car in order to add the support for the OEM camera, wiring is different as well.

Thanks to rafaelSorel.. i finally got my Avin unit installed and working.
I can't imagine going back again to that tiny screen after using the large screen for several weeks. |

No quite straightforward if you have some sort of experience

Wireless CarPlay
Just to provide an update to anybody reading/following along on this..
I found a Wireless CarPlay adapter on amazon. It works quite well, the phone will automatically connect to CarPlay without any interaction from me. On occasion it does seem to lag a little bit when using GPS and Spotify (Ill need to check and see if there are any updates in the software). Note: the audio skipping still happens, I still assume this is an issue with the AVIN HU and software. I'm curious to know if anybody else who uses the CarPlay adapters experiences this on the AVIN HeadUnit. |

I am experiencing this too. I use Carplay and Spotify most of the time and music from Spotify is skipping half a sec. Using Carplay with a lightning cable seem to work better however it defeats and purpose of having wireless carplay.

Usually I'll just use Waze or Google Maps and listen to satellite radio or stream from the phone via bluetooth to the original iDrive (You can still use the CarPlay interface to change songs but audio from Waze or Google Maps won't stream over Bluetooth) |

Just started to install a 1920 Avin unit to my 2017x1. When pulling out my HU I have no slack whatsoever. I see pics where people have the rear of the HU completely exposed..I can barely pull the HU half way. Any tips? Do I have to remove more trim like the central console?

I wanted to add some additional information to this thread regarding my AVIN screen installation. The cables to the HU run down towards the floor and then rear. The cable split and one side went behind the AC duct and the other split in front. That effectively locked it in from being pulled out. I had to remove the center console and the AC duct. On reassembly I made sure the cable run didn't get trapped by the AC duct work.

I had the same issue installing the MMI BOX in my X1 F48 2016. I managed to connect all the cables behind the HU without pulling it out by disassembling the glove box compartment and squeezing my arm through the glove box till my hand reached the quadlock cable. I think it is easier than removing the center console.
