Tips to Install BMW Carplay

To upgrade or retrofit your new aftermarket head unit with wireless Apple Carplay into your BMW, first choose one that has been made specifically for BMWs. This way, you get a head unit that fits properly into the area for your stereo and plugs into the wire harnesses in your BMW. Additionally, you will need a few tools like an interior trim removal tool, socket wrench, pliers, and wire cutters.

Another crucial step to upgrade your BMW infotainment system to Apple Carplay is to disconnect the battery before starting any work, in order to prevent any electrical issues. After that, proceed to remove any necessary interior panels using an interior trim removal tool to reach any mounting points and electrical components connected to the existing stereo.

Once removed, install your new head unit and connect the corresponding wire harnesses together. High-quality head units come with instructions to make this step quick and easy. And with one made specifically for your BMW model, you get a front faceplate that fits flush with the stereo dash surround.

If you are looking to have wireless Android Auto installed into your BMW in Sydney, look no further. The same features and functionality that are available to iPhone users are also available to Android users. Although Apple Maps has better integration with Apple Carplay, Android Auto has superior integration with Google Maps. You can even use wireless Android Phone Mirroring with your new head unit, which mirrors the look and layout of your phone.
