Upgrade MMI or use a dongle?

[London.Alex]

Hey Guys!

In the position of trying to update my car entertainment system. However, I am stuck with what the best cost-effective route would be long term. I have a BMW M6 2012 F13.

What I have found out so far:
1. Change the screen to an android.
2. Use a apple mmi interface adapter, that works with your current system.
3. Or the most expensive, change the whole mmi system from a CIC to NBT EVO ID5.

Obviously, the last option is very expensive, but is it worth the money compared to the others?

If you have done this or are in a similar position, I am open to all ideas and comments.

PS I have scrolled through the forums and I still did not find an answer. I only say this before you start mentioning "search the forum"

Thanks guys!

why did you not go for the other options? The second option is not that far off the first one. However from what i read, the glare is shit
