Are there any Android Auto retrofit options for the F39?

I searched this forum and couldn't seem to find anything.

I punched in a bunch of F39 VINs on the Bimmer-Tech website to see if their "Android Auto MMI PLUS" retrofit would work, but their website said it was not compatible.

I bought the new Anker ROAV for 50 dollars off of EBay. Solved most of my Android Auto wants. Essentially it is a Google Assistant Microphone integration and I have by Samsung GS9+ via BT stereo. Love it!

Bimmer-Tech tells me their "Smartview HD Flex" will work with the F39:

Pretty cool. A lot of work though.

Not serious, but easier to use an iPhone.

Yesterday I was surprised to see the Anker Roav Google Assistant (for the car) in WALMART of all places for $50 bux. Made me smile. Great product.
