Bought same product with same supplier , going to install it tomorrow, will keep you updated
How's your screen going mate...
I'm under strong consideration for one right now..
Rather have someone who's lived with a bit opinion..
Cheers
This is the exact review inwas looking for in my quest to update the BMW maps or for changing the screen to an android one. Your review has made up my mind now. Your HK speaker review from aliexpress was also very thorough as well. Keep up the good work
thank you 😏
I installed this and now I have a lot of errors on my instrument cluster how can I resolve this problem thanks
@@miguelrosario6485 It depends ... i have noticed that these units will show dtcs when scanning, however did not show any error on the screen
Great review; thanks.
Great video - we recommend this to our customers here in the UK!
Hi. Any alternative recommendation for screen?
Hey cool video. I received a unit for my E84 X1. Supposed to be Snapdrahon 680 with 8gb RAM. Some of the wiring isn't making sense so I wanted to figure this out before installing it.
Problem is I only have 7 fays to test. How did you test it while not installed on the car? Is it just a 12V battery and you try to find ground and 12V DC wire?
Why changed the MMI box for this?
Any recommendation from Ali for this car? Something that works well, no problems and with BMW hardware (mic for example)?
that video will come in December
Thanks for the video i got one 1280x480 and i was very sad wanted to buy that one you reviewed but i move forward which one you recommend ?
will make more content regarding them, just need to make some time for this
But i am considering buying now, so i am curious which one you currently use on your car
Please do review about the latest 15" one, and please reccomend us sellers with best screens.. Ofcourse they are all low level reflective screens compared to OEM BMW ones, but maybe some of them are better than others. This would be nice to know, how about the latest one, did they solved some things...? Also they never mention the refresh rates, so I assume they're all 60hz? altho the 15"looks pretty smooth... Thanks
Wich android have you now ??
I was considering buying this unit when I found the review. I know that with all these units, the sound goes through the aux. I am wondering if running the android and using the aux the tire pressure sensors would be able to indicate if i have a flat tire. My assumption is that they will not. If the video and the sound are not coming from the oem operation system. Also, how does it work with phone calls. Does it work seamlessly with the digital cockpit. My bmw is with nbt, and my instrument cluster is digital.
1. Although I have not tested it, TPMS warning is also displayed on the instrument cluster, so should you have any issue you will see it. 2. in my car I am running an older version and for phone quality ... can't give feedback on that.
@@BestCarMods Thanks again for the review and for your swift comments. You mentioned that you kept another unit but I couldn`t find the review for it. Could you post a link with the item and the seller.
@@LazarPetkov search for Navifly 12.3‘ UIS7862 ... but the sofware it has ... is not as good as the one with the 665 chip ... because I bought it ... i keep it ... and when I install for customers I install the better units :)
@@BestCarMods I did some research and found that Navfly offers a new model with a Snapdragon 663 and 8gigs of RAM. The one you mentioned is with a maximum of 4gigs of ram. I am going to order the newer Navfly - NaviFly 12.3" S662 Carplay Android 12 ID8 Car GPS Navigation DVD Player for BMW 5 Series F10/F11/520 (2011-2016) CIC/NBT System. Thank you for the advice!
What about new 14.9 screen multimedia android for bmw f10 CIC, what do you think?
well ... it is a hard one to answer ... the software is the same ... only screen will be bigger ... In the past I was saying that I will never fit a screen other than the original size because it looked strange in the photos. Now i have the 12.3 inch and I changed my mind, it is really good ... the 14.9, in the pictures seems to much for me, however it might be ok in reallife ... you will have to test it ...
Is there a video on fitting it please
Mby you bought cheap one, there is a lot of options (with snapdragon as well)
How did you open the screen without connect the car ?
by providing power to the appropriate PINs
Do you have the factory code?
I need to adjust car display quality.

Hi! Thank you for the review! Can you give a little bit more information about previous unit with a better screen that you have? For me the quality of screen is important. Does this previous unit also has a 12.3 inch screen? Thank you!
yes. will make a video on that :) I have it right now on the car
@@BestCarMods Cool! Will be waiting for the video ;-)
I thought all of the units with the 12 inch screens has the same screen and the difference only in performance
@@MagnetiqLabs after buying 3, I can tell you that they are all different
@@BestCarMods Hmmm. Thank you for the information! It makes process of buying a bit more complicated :-)
Maybe the priority is the quality of the screen. It will be the center of attention inside the car and I definitely don’t want to have a backlight irregularity like in unit that you showed. So thank you for this important information!
By the way, what do you think about 10 inch units?
I have a BMW F07, and 10 inch android units looks like something original from an aesthetic point of view.
I’m afraid a bit that 12 inch will look a bit like something from chinas aftermarket.
But 12 has more WOW factor for sure
@@MagnetiqLabs with the 10 inch units you have more companies making them and more options of where to buy. But you don't have a waw change. The 12.3 unit + Caplay / android auto will change the car ... you go from 2010 to 2023 ... These 12.3 inch units look bad in pictures. When you are next to them, you change your mind.
i do have problem , car play does not work, problem with mick, it does not work properly, screen has reflexion do not see very well, wiife does not work
use the cable. add a matt screen protector.
Hello, great review. My headunit looks very similar to this one software wise. I ran the fake device check and everything came back fine and correct. Could there be a chance for the manufacture to fake that test aswell or am I fine? Want to make sure I didn’t get ripped off Thank you
up to this point I did not see any unit having been able to do that. Sometimes I take them apart to see what is inside. Now realistically, you don't need crazy specs as you would run Andorid auto or apple carplay, and those are using the hardware from your phone.
Okay, thank you good to know. It just doesn't hurt to know the true specs of what your paying for.I bought mine with 8gb +256gb with the Qualcomm 662, so I paid a premium price and I wanted to make sure I didn't get the 2gb +32gb with a offbrand processor.
In your opinion mate, what would be the best £300/400 price upgrade.
I have ali ex and bit would rather buy from a uk seller.
Any advice wouy e awesome..thanks mate.
for a small fee I can advise on how to get the best unit + price delivered to your door. this is info that I have got after testing multiple units. If you are interested send me an email 8hello@bestcarmods.com
@@BestCarModshi mate..
I've only just seen this message.
And thanks for your reply.
How much is a small fee.?
I don't mind paying you for your time and effort in sorting out the good and bad..
Cheers mate 👍🏻
50gbp and I ensure you get the best price for the unit@@antonytheolddog8626
@@BestCarMods wow.....😮
Hi friend!! I have bmw 520d with Cic radio conected with aux cable. Anyone have interferences in CarPlay phone calls? Any ideas? Any factor y configuration? Thanks
what unit? this exact 665 one?
You didn’t mention call quality which is terrible as they don’t use factory mic
@@greatoxcroft5692 did not had the opportunity to use it :) . now that you mentioned it, I will introduce it as a separate test, as I have bought another unit, a 662 one to see if it is any better
Used only the factory bmw Bluetooth for wireless connection. Usually your phone gives you that option. If you use the Android FSC-SKITS connection wireless 😢something like that .
Which is searching for the android mic. Which is trash. If still a problem just connect via USB with all phones
i do have problem , car play does not work, problem with mick, it does not work properly, screen has reflexion do not see very well, wiife does not work
Does it show accurate vehicle information like oil level etc?
oil level is in BMW menu so that will not be affected.
@@BestCarModsone thing that is keeping me from buying this device is that i’ve seen some guys installing these but in order to recieve audio from the device they would need to have a cable running to the aux port inside the armrest wich would occupy it constantly.. So i would assume in order to listen to bluetooth music from my phone i would need to unplug the cable from the aux port each time but still i can’t hear navigation directions etc at the same time. Is this true for all cases and is there a workaround?
@@Stomping-On-Roses bluetooth music will go to the unit and the unit will output via AUX to the car AMP to sent to the speakers. You will never unplug your aux cable. also you can always select the mode from the car menu and select other source than the aux cable.
Hi i have ordered the exact same one but do you know what's the factory key? thanks.
if I remember correctly 88898 or 8889
@@BestCarMods you are wrong
@@HS-sr9ww in that case you have to ask the supplier
What unit do you recommend?
it is complicated to answer this question but as I said it for others : for a small fee I can advise on how to get the best unit + price delivered to your door. If you are interested send me an email 8hello@bestcarmods.com
Bought it for $270 with massive discount
Hope it’s worth that price
270 is a very good price
@@BestCarMods ok thanks
the estimated delivery period is 6 january next year even though i received it 3 days
so im not confirming my order untill then because if there is a problem i still have my aliexpress protection
and also i have the 15 extra days after confirming the order so i have about 2 months to test the unit
@@BestCarMods also, does the screen wobble that terrible on roads? is there a way to make the screen more firm?
@@qaching you have the right mindset. I would also add that you should install it asap to check it. any problem raise it with the seller before you are out of those 15 days.
the lower dash trim will press it into place. maybe place some electrical tape on the bottom part so that it does not scratch your plastic trim. @@qaching
Hi me is that the radio only comes on with the ignition on the BMW F11. I have to turn on the ignition specifically for the radio. Here is a video that I shot th-cam.com/video/eY9sC-faGY8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=80Sc-HYurUu6zWUk
Is that normal the radio run only with ignition... with original BMW cic system runs without ignition for 10 minutes an then automatically off Until I press the volume control on the radio again without the ignition, it turns on again and, most importantly, without the ignition, as it should actually be
does it deserve yes or no?
No. I found better.
@@BestCarMods what would you recommend me? Bmw f31 sistem evo
@@BestCarMods what do you suggest me?
for a fix fee I can advise on what unit to get and how to get a good price on it. If you want such a service use this email 8hello@bestcarmods.com@@lucabuoncobs4829
Nope
Watching you use that screen is painful, its so god dam slow and dim. I bought mine from XTRONS uk and its a million times better. Super responsive and the screen is colourful and sharp. These Chinese site always have crap when it comes to electronics
what size ?
Never put anything on youre beemer from Aliexpress.
🤣
The Linux ones seems to be more stable if you just want,.carplay / android auto
thanks for sharing
