Modernizing Your BMW Dashboard

Tired of the aging factory screen and limited features of your BMW 5 Series? Many owners of the F10, F11, and F18 (2011-2012) with the CIC system face the same pain: a small display and no smartphone integration. This high-resolution 12.3-inch Linux upgrade is the ultimate Car Multimedia System solution, bringing your interior into 2026 while keeping the classic BMW feel.

High-Performance Linux Features

OEM Integration & Design

This is a 专车专用安卓屏 (Dedicated Screen) specifically engineered for BMW. The design ensures a flush fit on your dashboard. Most importantly, it retains all original car protocols:

  • Full support for original iDrive Controller navigation.

  • Steering wheel button synchronization.

  • Factory reverse camera and parking sensor display.

  • Original vehicle computer info (Fuel, Speed, Settings).

Real-world Performance Test

As shown in our 车载导航升级 (Car Navigation Upgrade) demonstration video, the installation is 100% plug-and-play. During our testing (~45 mins of continuous use), the system showed 0% latency when switching between the original BMW menu and the CarPlay interface. The 12.3-inch wide-screen format provides significantly better visibility for maps like Google Maps and Waze.
