Upgrading your car's head unit does not only make the car look sleeker and modern but also allows you to have access to features that can really improve your commute. In today's video I'll go over one of the newest systems you can get for your BMW and give you a tour of some of the features.

Those cables you bypassed in the trunk are the Can-Bus system to the amplifier (can-bus system is used for audio, video, and display info using cool red lasers). It runs in series and if one module is down, the whole communication is down and it scares the others. Bypassing the Bus system closes that break and brings the talking group back together!
Not can bus. The fiber optic network
Can’t bus If it’s not working lol
@@danradu2312 same thing here
I have an e93 335i n54 and I’m building it just like yours you’ve been my inspiration on this project
Sweet! You'll enjoy the hell out of it.
Same bro I am just looking for mine so I can start to build mine
the round speaker is for your parking sensors up front if you have them or want to install them after. and you can put ur gps in ur dash on top upside down, will work perfectly fine. and also the wifi antenne can be put behind the radio.. you can use ur phone hotspot to use internet on the radio
Love what you’ve done with the interior. The dashboard with the upgraded I-drive makes it look so modern! Definately going with this upgrade
Find the aux pins on the harness and tap into it, you might need to cut an earth as well, this is on the new harness side then you can not worry about the aux plug and not touch the factory side. Find the factory aux lines in a wiring diagram. I did this on an aftermaket install from an different supplier for a different car to get rid of that silly exetention to aux plug that all after market suppliers use.
Man no matter where I'm at in the world.... still get to enjoy some e90 content cheers pham
👊🏼
The speaker is for your BMW chimes & turn signal sounds. At least with mine it was like that, I had a similar setup in my Mini.
Rear sensors too. On mine anyway
Your interior is so beautiful! I hope they make the digital dials for the e46 soon.
I was hoping for the same thing, so I emailed them and asked about it and apparently they are looking into it.
"Hello Andreas.
Thanks for your interest,
we're planning to start a project investigation for a BMW E46, so keep on following us.
Regards"
So keep checking the site, cus apparently it's gonna pop up sooner or later (y)
@@andreas4959 😍😍
hello,please serch your car in all chinese website with english language they made this parts for any bmw car
Why would you swap your great looking expensively made analog gauges for a chinese tablet?? To go with the flow? Because other people think it looks modern?
Man said so I don’t keep you guys gm here too long like I ain’t about to watch all his videos after this, best TH-camr out there man🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ I like nour, but vehicle virals does it the best!
Its weird how none of these units can hijack the original sound, microphone and gps systems, but can see all canbus info!
Man finally a video we missed you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I finally hired help! Expect more consistency going forward! ❤️
@@VehicleVirals Pixel 5 is an amazing phone
this is FAX
@@VehicleVirals is this available for a 2004 Bmw 745 li ??? Help me brother 🤦🏽♂️🤣😭
You got it brother !!!! I already installed both in my 335 and Tacoma Truck. Keep the upgrades going and the videos coming. I really enjoy your videos 👍👍. Anytime you feel like freezing your butt off come northbound to Canada and we'll do Cayuga Raceways quarter mile track together. Cheers !
Hey brother, I can't find the xtron head unit that you used with the link in this video. I wanted to buy it as a gift for a family member with a 2010 335i X-drive M-Sport. Any chance you have the correct link ? Please and thank you
Have this same one. An absolutely must if you want to daily these cars. Apple CarPlay is cooler than i expected with reading off your text messages to you as you drive.
I was debating a purchase of a 13 /335I and am now convinced. I also just subscribed. Fantastic content thanks.
Great video.. ive been contemplating about getting something like this but im still happy with the stock unit. 2011 so i have bluetooth and thats gold for me.
I only had Bluetooth for calls. A no go for me.
I like the digital dashboard but I think the best-looking infotainment is still the pre LCI. With the clean dash lines and just a cd player. I can get a small Bluetooth dongle and connect it to my aux to play my tunes.
I wanna get a hold on the dash is so beautiful I was the one that got the clean M4 with 54k miles on it this would really amplify my interior even more 💪🏼🙏🏼 bless up bro keep up the good work
Finally more e90 content
I've watched this videos a couples times. When initially posted, I went ahead and bought a unit. Unfortunately I was not satisfied with the unit and reached out to the seller but haven't heard back after two emails. Initially when purchasing the unit, they were very accommodating but once the sell was final, no luck getting to them. If you notice in your video, the OEM view its zoomed in which the same issue I am having. The other issue is that when on "Car Play", call comes in, if you click on "Accept call", it actually ignores the call and hangs up. There other little minors issues but I can deal with those. This isn't to bash your review, you are great at what you do and honest . Can you test these issues on your unit and do a follow up as to your conclusion. Would really appreciate it. Keep up the good work, love your channel!!
That little speaker is for the navigation directions to work when you are in the oem cic mode
I have one of these units installed on my 2012 e92, works great other than the audio. It keeps skipping when listening to music via apple car play, works fine with the radio. The head unit audio is directly connected to the oem aux input. Xtrons has been little to no help with this issue, wounding if anyone else has had this issue
@12:50 im impressed by the fitment for an aftermarket product tbh
amazing that these things have messaging, whatsapp, youtube and google on board. Exactly what one needs for safe driving and totally not be distracted.
Jokes aside: great and informative video!
Christian: “I’m going to go jump off a bridge, but I totally suggest that you guys don’t.”😂
That box that went out is your XM/Sirius radio module. The whole system runs a fiber optic line and that light stopped at the XM/Sirius. I bypassed mine with some vacuum line.
The whole time I was yelling at my screen telling you that that mini speaker was for the door chime.
I bought this system based on your vid. I have had nothing but problems with it and the customer service SUCKS. The system display occasionally works. I have spent weeks troubleshooting this system with the customer service folks. This has included removing and reinstalling the head unit, resetting the system several times, disconnecting the battery etc. they have finally conceded that is is not working correctly and told me to return it and they would ship me a new one. This approach will leave a hole on my dash for weeks and basically make the car undrivable. I asked them to send me a new one and when I install it and verify that it works, I will return the defective one. They have refused. I have spent HOURS messing with this thing. Don’t do it… junk and horrible customer service.
Did you purchase through us Brett? We have sold 100s of these units with no such issues. Assuming you purchased from us, we would have taken care of you immediately.
I purchased it through Amazon but the order was filled and shipped directly from Xtron
Still a piece of junk. It rarely works. DO NOT BUY THIS
should have gone with the MMI Prime style box - way easier install, you can keep OG iDrive available, and if you get the chinese version it’s pretty cheap too.
Yeah, but no touch screen, no MHD monitoring, no 4G/LTE support, etc. -- seems like it's lacking in comparison?
@@truculenttabasco The car’s design wasn’t built for a touchscreen. It’s not a good place to reach, being recessed, and who cares if you have 4G if it’s connected to your phone.
It is lacking the MHD monitoring but it’s much cleaner, easier to remove, faster, easier to install, and not a $200 android tablet stuffed into a hole in the dash.
@@truculenttabasco it works off the phone so of course it has 4G/5G/whatever Android Auto ends up supporting 🤔
As for touch screens, try using one in a car. They are awful.
i wouldn’t be surprised if you have 500k subs by the end of the year. keep up with the great content. Your videos were the reason i got a 335i.
8 months on; how is the head unit performing?
A few years back I bought an xtrons full screen head unit for my Merc cl203 and daily operation often felt like hardwork. It felt laggy, slow on start up and occasionally froze when loading up mainstay apps like Google maps and Spotify...
Now I've just bought an e93 and looking at mods..
Would you still recommend it with 8 months' use?
I am looking for a head unit for my E93 too. Did you end up going with the xtron?
Bro i just got a m package 328i 2012 it has a dome just like this i was too worried i would mess anything up installing it but now i know its easy! Just subbed thanks man! Great video
Great video, best one ive seen on these e90's, I just bought the xtrons, seems like the newest android operating system and has the most powerful specs compared to ones ive researched. Cant wait to install this and modernize my e90
The AVIN head unit is better interface looks better and you have more option for front and rear cameras as well as dash with dvr and has a splitter that can run off the oem gps. Glad to see your back bro I plan on doing an overhead turbo install in the future but the single turbo you installed had me thinking price wise. Sucks I don’t have a trustworthy garage out here in Kansas like you do unless your people knows someone out here.
If you have the logic 7 sound system there amps are notorious for failing located in the backs left corner of the car in the trunk sometimes being the cause of no sound too!
Looks super clean dude. I'm seeking recommendations on a pre lci e90 touchscreen that is compatible with Logic & could handle adding aftermarket 10in Kicker L7 sub & amp...im currently looking at the AVIN unit but afraid to spend $500+ on a unit that's not compatible w/this intended setup. Most concerned about the aftermarket sub & amp being too much for these android type units. Any help appreciated.
I have the same unit as he installed,. the AVIN one is the same unit but they charge a dumb amount and still provide no support, buy the cheapest one you can find with Android 10, 4gb RAM 64 GB and Octacore CPU, they are all the same. My car has Logic7 and this unit just resues the fiber optics, and i dont think it would be an issue adding an extra amp since you do that by splicing cables in the trunk near the amp (not an expert) but i know there are PNP-harnesses for plugging in an extra AMP via the Logic7 one so you can add another sub.
@@Zodiam. man why did he have to install an aux cable for audio? If u were to plug in via USB for CarPlay wouldn’t audio work through that?
@@mickjohnson86 Unless the CIC unit works way differently he shouldnt have to, the green/black fibre cable that you see around 11:05-11:10 is moved to the new connector which should allow you to get audio, mine had a CCC unit (2007 335i) and i did not use any AUX-cables. That said i have to set it to the "AUX" option in the original iDrive sources, but thats a one and done deal. AFAIK the aux cable route is for base audio systems without fibre optics and/or older android head units, if you look at older install guides its there, but none of the newer ones use it.
@@Zodiam. cheers mate. Mine is a 2008 e93 335i with CCC so from what u said I shouldn’t need it fingers crossed.
@@mickjohnson86 did your install go fine ? I have the same car as you and just curious
I love your videos but I’m so disappointed that NOBODY makes aftermarket upgrades or anything for my model.
I thought I had subscribed years ago but I had to subscribe again. Keep up the great content.
JUST ORDERED! Can’t wait this is a must. And I got the reverse camera the best one is only $30!
Great video! About the center console usb/aux…do you have a video on replacing that?
So I had seen this video when I first got my 335i (which was around the time you uploaded the video) and now I’m rewatching because my Xtrons arrives this week (mine’s the version that comes for e90 without iDrive). Anyway, I JUST noticed you listen to Jay Wheeler lol.
It’s always better not to cheap out on these things especially if you diy I did a few and it took all week just to get it working
Yo man I’ve been watching you for a while and you completely changed my mind on the n54 platform. Your videos are awesome man keep killing it. Subscribed! Let’s help those percentages 😂
I was all on board until I saw the lag time in response for the tachometer. I mean at that point it might as well just change colors to indicate more vrooms or less vrooms.
I have something similar from Andream, which gave me Carplay and reverse cam on my CIC.. though I think it's time for me to finally retrofit an NBT EVO, speaking of, I haven't seen any E9X owners doing a DIY on retrofitting an NBT EVO on these cars
YES!!!! i don't see anyone doing it!
For me i think idrive still better than these android kits, even if its slower... too much down sides!!
Great installation video - we also install these over here in the UK!
Nice Flossy plug. Looks dope!
So audio will not work at all if you don’t connect the aux cable? Only reason i’m asking is since the original CIC unit was connected to that computer, all this head unit is doing is using the same connections with a different screen, so the audio should be passed through the same way
Didn't get audio without using the aux connection. Might have to try again.
Yo Christian the thing you said was a wi fi antenna is a DAB aerial.
The USA still uses an and fm radio.
Europe and the rest of world is moving to DAB.
Digital signals are much cleaner than anything on fm.
I put a similar unit in my e88 2. Years ago.
We in the UK.
Check DAB on wickapidia.
I seen the marketing for DAB in the instruction manual. Makes sense now.
Keep adding screens & its gonna look like the interior of a Ferrari SF90😂 but yo it’s lookin mad clean. Pretty much what I’m tryna do for my e46 eventually.
i installed an xtrons unit on my 06 e90 and it’s amazing for 250$
Where did you buy from thanks.
@@harlslee8747 bought it off ebay
The speedometer cost out weight the benefit. If it is under $400 range , it will be reasonable
Aahh, i want this car in Australia.
Brown leather, manual turbo 6 in blue paint, beautiful.
Great vid too mate, 👍
I got this one and mine connects with Android with wireless also so it must be an upgrade. Great system
I haven't read all the comments and really don't have time now. I just recently saw this and I love it. I have a 2011 E90 328i. My head unit looks exactly like yours. This should wok in mine don't you think? Also, how can I tell which version of the idrive I have?
you have cic
I been looking at the Xtrons units along with some others. Trying to figure out why the android radios that replace the oem radio are cheaper than the top dash mounted ones.
You won me over with this video. Very legit!
DIGITAL CLUSTER!! Never new it existed! Hopefully I can find one for an E60
We have them available on my website for the E60
Show us how to install back up/reverse camera
That cluster looks fantastic
Back with the E90 content .🍾🙏🏾 Been waiting.
The long antenna is your 4g antenna if you add a sim card
Great video man but you know the GPS antenna does not need to go on top of the dash to work. You could have put it behind the headunit in the dash and it would have worked perfectly...
Won't use it anyways. Figured I'd expose it by the window.
you could use the car idrive bluetooth in on the android side so you do not have to use the aux cable the android os on that android head unit do not interact with the idrive
Man great video! Thinkin about one of these for my F12, if they make em!
First gps antena can go behind trim below airbag, second little speaker is for navi guidence becaouse sam apps can't work if you listening music, and you didnt set up correctly screen resolution on oem cic, you can figure it out in settings. If you want clear saund in settings of the unit set up volume about 70%, wifi antena can go under climate control unit, and most important thing the same unit is half the price on aliexpress 🤣 xtrons just put their logo on welcome screen, and you can change that easy 😉
If you want enter factory settings you just have to clik on android info couple time and then entre code 8888 🤓 if you still can't find it just write on youtube e90 android head unit factory settings
Very nice! If I could get mine to start running.
Damn man I felt your vibe change after there was no audio, I would’ve been quite annoyed also 😂 good video tho!
On that day
Change input to aux
Am having the same issue and have no idea on to resolve it......they won't refund it either
which is the best and easiest bmw to have as a daily and for upgrades ??
is a bmw x5 a good purchase?
Bro looks amazing keep up the good videos I like them a lot bro fr fr
I just did my coding on the 2010 335i conv I just bought and I noticed that the Headunit module in bimmercode app showed CIC. My car is not the LCI as in exterior changes, but maybe BMW did change the head units on 2010's from CCC to CIC. Thoughts?
Wait so, you have to have an aux cable to play music from your phone? It won't work through the USB for apple/android?
This video is so helpful. I brought the same EXTRON unit for my convertible 335i and I have the same issue with my auxiliary. Do you have the information or part number for the unit in the truck you need to replace?
Hi Walter, I have the no sound issue, could you please tell me how you resolved the issue.?
Please do a review of the BMW Preformance gear selector and shift boot. It brings the e9x interior up to date
Give me the link for that back up camera from xtrons
I dont understand the audio issue why do you need the aux at all? Is there no Bluetooth? And what about the tones from the car itself [door chimes etc]. How about fm radio?
I literally installed a bypass for the same module two days ago
Great video. Yes, you should disconnect the battery or the car will throw you errors on the dashboard.
The small speaker is for back camera. It basically uses the speaker and main speakers for it...
When it comes to the headunit, google for a developer code and you'll be able to change the protocol for the stock iDrive mode (if you have problem with it) or you can also change the logo for a M3 one or a Barbus/Alpina/AMG/Volkswagen/Mercedes/Toyota one.
There is also a special option to allow you to watch videos if your handbrake isn't activated. Is probably already deactivated but if not, you know what to do ;)
This can be helpful with the spotify animations on certain songs like "Underwater" by NIVERSO or "Become God" by Ghost Data or even videos on TH-cam.
edit:
1314 was the "developer code" on my headunit
You can go wireless with the android auto also. And you don't need to use the aux for sound. I fitted mine into my E60. Connects automatically when I get in the car.
Not with all system options unfortunately.
I have the exact same factory stereo, at the mark 11:59, the orange, yellow, pink connectors, do you recall if there was actually anything plugged into the orange connector? I’m reassembling everything back, I only have the yellow & pink conn wire left, triple checked behind the dash to see if there was an orange one, but non in sight.
I would like to see how would you use touchscreen with that second screen :))
Impressive, simply impressive. Good upgrade to get.
I see you listening to Ovi, he do be bumping 🔥 Claro que si
Ive been waiting for somebody to do this
Fyi, you can get these headunits from other places as well, I've installed 4 android headunits in various cars so far, all from aliexpress ranging between 100 and 300.
Any links ???
Bro your are the best !! I have the CIC unit but the small display ! Do you think 🤔it's OK 👌or not ??? Thanks men keep it up !!!
My man sporting an android phone like a proper man. I myself am sporting a Galaxy S21+. What an outstanding device with it's Qualcom Snapdragon 888 processor. Android is superior in all aspects. No cap
Someone that understands 👊🏼
Hopefully you went and got an iPhone and got rid of that crap respect yourself man.
@FaderSkate Fortunately, I respect myself enough to go with a well engineered, well tested device, with superior battery life, superior heat management, superior camera quality & modes, not a load of software bugs directly after the latest device's release, superior processing power & efficiency, made in South Korea... not China.
( ´_ゝ`) So sad.
Unlike Apple. Samsung isn't just made for flaunting, but instead actually performing heavy duty... and on all fronts.
@Vehicle Virals It's the only way, my friend.
This looks great but I can't believe it needs to be plugged into aux for audio!
Yes Bro. Looks good I never upgraded my cic in my car yet but I like that cluster. Also that speaker that came with that new xtrons system isn’t that the reverse beep tone PDC?
I was getting the reverse tones with that little speaker.
Thank you for the great video. My Z4 E89 Android screen does not respond at all, but the i-Drive works. However, with the i-Drive I cannot go to the apps or settings menus. Is there a solution for it? I would appreciate if you can tell me what to do to fix the issue.
Thank you in advance.
BTW, I resettled the OS via the small reset hole on the system, but that did not fix the issue!
If it had that curved plastic cover on, the touch screen wouldn't be much use 😜
The resolution is same as stock. One with twice the resolution would be great.
I need the part number to the screws that hold the head unit in place
@12:25 the wood trim isnt cheap, so it’s definitely worth protecting.
Where can I get the bypass part that goes in the trunk? I’m having trouble finding it.
Great video👏👌
I did upgrade from ccc to cic. Now bt and aux dosnt work. I saw u get audio from aux sooo... if my aux dosnt work than addroid 10 dash wont working too 🤨🤔
Where u get that dash thing that said hello christen and what would would I need for my 2005 bmw 525i
The “WIFI antenna” is for satellite radio I’m pretty sure.
Why did you need to mess with the aux? Could you not just connect to bluetooth with this setup through carplay?
Hey man I’m looking for a new head unit for my E93 but my car doesn’t have the tech package so I just have the small orange screen is there anything you recommend?
Christian ....I have the android tab, the one that goes on top of the dash ...pretty sure it’s not a speaker but a microphone ...on my pre Lci you don’t need the aux cable
Maybe things are different for models that are not equipped with Idrive. Aaly had to do the same on his Pre-LCI
