Chinese NBT retrofit ??

M6ORL · 01-13-2021, 07:09 AM

hey guys I wonder if any of you have one of these Chinese LCD and what are your experiences? I have a f13 2013 and I'm considering doing a retrofit

I was thinking to buy the mmi prime from bimmertech that I can integrate and keep using my old CiC idrive system and screen but the Chinese one comes with a upgraded lcd touch screen and android play for 200 dl more...

There were several posts here and on general forum, do a search.
It seems that the consensus for Android based Chinese retrofits is that they are not worth it - they're slow and the screen is much more reflective than the OEM.
IMHO better route is adding MMI Carplay/AA to your existing CIC or retrofit NBT (if you want a more modern system) + MMI.

Haven't seen the one with an entirely new screen, but did do a CarPlay retrofit and pretty happy about it, post is recent
