วีดีโอ

The model is “Q10” - it is the most expensive, but highest performance version. I recommend this.

QT10 8G 128G AT / MT. The numbers 8G and 128G represent the memory/performance. The AT/MT depends on your car (automatic/manual)

Thanks for the kind words. These kind of comments keep me motivated. Hopefully I can get some new content out soon!

@@ElliottBrooks the shaving of the AC unit was inspired dude. Honestly I was ready to give up on it until I found your vid. Genius. Arise Lord Elliott!

You’re welcome bro! Did you use the link in description to purchase? It’s good quality! Make sure you get the QT10 model for best performance

Yeah there’s some screws holding it in pretty sure. If you watch the video, pretty sure you see me remove some screws

If you check the link in the description it has details on which cars suit. It’s less about the model and more what your previous radio is

I ended up upgrading into custom LEDs if you check my channel videos. The issue is the design as these are bouncing light through glass compared to real LEDs.

Hope this video helped you!

Glad you appreciate it! Make sure to check my more recent videos as I think they’re even better 👍

I built them. If you check my channel there is a video covering the process

Hahahaha yeah very true. Def saved a tonne of money doing this, but next car I buy if I upgrade headlights I’ll probably buy prebuilt as it’s a mission!

Which model car do you have? The general rule is you need the “LED” pre-LCI rear lights. If you have the full halogen rears it errors. I’m sure there is a work around though but I’m not across the details

@@ElliottBrooks I have a 2010, I saw some people speaking about coding so I’m not 100% sure

@tershen9798 2010 135i or different model? Unless you’re lower model it should be fine. If you do need to code, get pro tools

@@ElliottBrooks I’ve got a 125i

Halogen or LED rears previously?

radio works just no sound from carplay

No sounds from CarPlay means one of the wires isn’t connected properly. Double check the wiring loom. Radio will work regardless because the source is different

What do you mean by automatically play music? Once you open carplay, you need to then have a music app - i.e. spotify - to play the music

@@ElliottBrooks like when it finally connects and puts you in the CarPlay mode does it play the music automatically like straight away without you pressing on play or anything?

​​⁠I guess that would depend if you’re already playing music on your phone at the time or not. Usually when I get in my car, I’m not playing music on my phone. It auto connects, then I press play and drive off

@@LuisJaimes-lb5dj Possibly - as I said, if you have music playing before you connect it might do that. If thats a normal feature of carplay, then yes

Thanks for the feedback

Yes, this particular screen comes with reverse camera functionality. When I bought mine, they included a free camera. Use the link in the video description

@@ElliottBrooks Thank You. Appreciate Your Response. 👍🏼

The angel eyes don't impact your brightness of your lights. These lux angel eye bulbs were plug and play

Yes, you need to connect your steering wheel via software - if you read the pinned comment, it explains how

Hey - no, those buttons are included, you just can't see them. They're on the underside of the unit - you would put your hand under to press them. You wouldn't see them, but as long as you know what position each button is in - then no drama. The bottom side is curved. In my video, I place a blank "blocker" because I have no extra buttons

@@ElliottBrooks cool! I only have the start/stop there so I can’t really get confused, does carplay work well? Does it connects quickly? I was trying to find a more powerful version but this seems to be the only option! Thank you for your answer btw!

Yes, CarPlay works well. I have no complaints once it’s all setup. Automatically connects wirelessly after the first connect. Very smooth. System is powerful if you get the QT10 model in my link in the description. Best value for money. A lot of other systems don’t have as strong processing power or memory so they are slow - or they cost thousands of dollars for similar spec. I rate this system

Did you buy this version of the screen from my link? if so, the app is called TLINK5 and has a picture of the car and a phone. It comes pre-installed. You need to connect your phone via bluetooth for it to work

Nothing catastrophic but still annoying maintenance repairs that are expensive. Also hard to chase down misfires. Hard to say if it’s reliability or past poor maintenance. I don’t push this car very hard for fear of it going boom haha

I can't remember now - I think I discussed prices in the video - otherwise just check the Bavgruppe site :)

Yes, they fit fine. They are on the underside. I put a blocker in the video as I don’t have those buttons, but you can put your buttons. No problem!

@@ElliottBrooks i am not sure. Because it looks like there is no space anymore. Please check 10:26

​​⁠check 4:43. I put this blocker part in instead of buttons. You would put your buttons in here on the bottom. In the final product (10:26) you won’t see the buttons but they are underneath slightly. Check other comments. It’s fine

@@ElliottBrooks Wow thats great. Thank you. And you are still happy with the system?

@veyselyaprak yes, very. Big improvement having CarPlay. If you’re thinking of purchasing, I recommend the seller in the link in my description :)

here you go: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBB3zsX

thanks but screw that lol, they charging too much for a cheap plastic crap.; i just got one from ebay for £23@@ElliottBrooks

nah stopped trying to find it - sorry! I think there is paid options, but even then it's probably difficult and requires some backend "hacking"

I agree! Massive game changer. This and a full 1M conversion, but thankfully this is cheaper and (maybe) easier. Have you done this to your E82?

No, not at all - if you watch the install, I discuss that the heated seats or convertible buttons are on the bottom face on the unit. I add in a blank slot instead of these buttons as I dont have them

Installed one today with manual climate control, had to fiddle more than expected in order to make the buttons work for both heated seats and climate controls, keep that in mind. Of course maybe there was a defect with my shell... Anyway, everything is working now 🥳

@@GvyDskaChannelthanks for the reply. Did you purchase from the link in my video description or just a similar product? The one I’ve used looked very high quality and I don’t think should have any issues with fitment. Other people have installed without error - so if so, yes maybe unfortunate issue with your piece

Your English is fine. Perhaps your car needs the optic fibre connection. My suggestion would be to contact the seller on aliexpress. They are quite responsive

Depends which variation you get. If you follow the link in the description you can see the difference models and prices. In my video I’m referencing the top model (most expensive plus best performance) I’m also speaking in AUD which would be less than pounds.

I got the QT10. It should have the best response times. It’s not perfect but I wouldn’t want slower

thank you

yes, I got the same I'll be instilling it thanks to your help!!!! I'll let you know how I did.

@@brothersinarmseastlakegreat! Yes make sure you read the comments on how to connect your steering buttons as I figured that out after I did the video

I've done everything I followed your footsteps but the thing is it doesn't stay The unit just pops back out again, I think there might be some grinding and cutting involved. I trimmed down the aircon edges but something else that makes it a very very tight squeeze

There is a little cut out section on the underneath that fits the heated seat buttons - i discuss it in the process section of the video

Hi, yes it should work for that model of 1 series. If you click the link in the description, there is more details :)

@@ElliottBrooks thank you!

Hi did you ever do this on your bmw 128i? I just got mine and want to do it

hello - no, I did not connect the fibre optic cable. I read online that certain models speakers don't need to connect it - but there is an extra fibre optic connector piece you can use if you need to. At first I was worried, but my sound works great - so no problem! :)

hahaha probably true! I remember when they were first announced everyone swore against them

@ElliottBrooks same, but they didn't show M4 until a while after 😆 I think at that point everyone was biased against it from the initial reveal

To be honest, I haven't tested them. The new system does provide a new mic and USB inputs, so maybe they're being replaced - I can't remember if it provides a new aux. I am sure it would either utilise existing aux - or you could feed aux to the same ports currently in the car - I don't use either aux or usb so yeah sorry, can't comment much

@@ElliottBrooks thank you. so i used the second gen apple airport express and turned that into a wifi streaming device that connects to the aux. the quality is great. works well with navigation and music. but seeing the phone on the dash is irritating me more now as the phones are just so big. with the newer cars having carplay, i need to bite the bullet. my mate put it in his 86 and it is a world of a difference. the mulf2 was really the only thing, for phone calls. but if i have to swap the mics out, thats not a problem. how many usb's are provided? only other thing was if i have to run the phone constantly to make carplay work via the usb, but that is minor if everything works well. these 1ers are so tight with storage. maybe i can route a charge cable into the arm rest or some compartment. thanks for your help.

@golfer23rm system comes with two usb cables. Phone calls seem to work well through the system so far. Check the link in the video description for extra details, there is quite a bit of info on the purchase page

@@golfer23rm apple carplay connects wirelessly with this system - yes, you need your phone to use it. It also has bluetooth phone capability. I haven't had charging issues - but depends on how long your trips are. Two USB are provided.

Hi mate, good question. The unit has faired well! It works exactly the same as the day I bought it. As I’ve said in a couple other comments, inside Apple CarPlay the system is perfect. Outside of it, it has some imperfections but for the price and the fact I am always using Apple CarPlay - I still highly recommend it. Make sure you get the QT10 version for the best processing power

This system is plug and play. Everything in the video is all you need to do + some settings within the new unit

Hi mate, the roof opening buttons are fine - they get added to the below section. I cover it in the video but call them heated seat buttons. Anything that would be a button in the extra row goes there

Hey mate, fitment is good from the side besides the very bottom where it extends slightly further than the regular dash. If you click the aliexpress link in my bio - it has a picture where you can see

Oh ok! Thanks for the quick reply! Have you found any solution to that gap?

@icebrandbro4155 ​​⁠no solution unless you wanted to fabricate something yourself. You really cannot notice it unless you get your head down to near where you sit. I don’t really care about the gap because of this

Thanks for your opinion. I am comparing features that they have put in the M3.

I only hired it :) had it for a day through Turo to see how I like it but wanted to give the perspective for those thinking about buying

May God grant everyone according to their hearts. My comment was meant as a joke@@ElliottBrooks

@motomeraktv9482 oh - hard to tell in translation

Glad you found it helpful! I can only speak from my experience. If you follow the link I posted in the description then contact the seller - I’ve found them to be very helpful in clarifying specific details. Best to check before buying - might be a back end technical update

Thank you. I moved house and started a new job. Much harder to film! Sorry - I’ll try get it done in the new year

Check your wiring. You might not have connected two of the wire stacks together. That one is easy to miss. Otherwise it might depend which system you have and should contact the seller to check compatibility

Not particularly. What makes you say that?

​​@@ElliottBrooksthe screen is flush on the left and protruding on the right, making it angle and face towards the left of the car, thus made for a left-hand drive car / driver to control. @11:45

@@AJS82041it’s the exact same size on both sides. So if it was reversed it would have the same issue. It would protrude past on a left hand side too. Probably just oversight in the design process. If you want perfect symmetry with the bmw interior design, I would consider buying a new bmw rather than trying to upgrade with cheap aftermarket parts 😅

Glad I could help! Yeah I hadn’t figured out the steering when I filmed the video. But did shortly after so helped in the comment :) make sure to subscribe if you haven’t already!
