Is it possible to use it completely wired and turn off wifi and bluetooth on the MMI unit?

[@clifnotes9091]

😂 That was an awesome intro! MMI Pro for me!

[@josephquisenberry1516]

😂😂😂 great intro!

[@bimmer-tech]

Thanks! We had fun with it! Lol.

I plan to install the pro in my M6 tomorrow. Will the night vision camera, side view cameras, and top view camera still work? Is it still possible to manually activate the cameras without going into reverse?

[@bimmer-tech]

Top view camera and side view camera will only work with iDrive mode, so if you switch from MMI :)

I have a BMW X3 F25 04/14 LCI. I had factory NBT on it and upgraded yesterday to NBT EVO ID6. I really hate the screen mirroring for Android devices.
Will I have wireless android auto with this one? plug and play?

[@bimmer-tech]

Yes our MMI Prime and PRO allow you to have wireless Android Auto, although for mirroring it is through a wired connection and yes it is a plug and play product ;)

[@NarutoUzumaki10.10]

does the pro version have the same wireless hardware or is it improved (for example faster and better connection)?

[@bimmer-tech]

We improved the hardware, so the system is faster overall. So yeah, you will feel the difference :)

[@HecticComments]

I got a 2023 mini countryman, it has wireless apple carplay but no android auto, will this provide wireless android auto? And will my touch screen work or just the idrive knob ? Also, if i reverse will the camera pop up like it normally would?

[@bimmer-tech]

1. If you go for the MMI, you will have Android Auto
2. It will work with your iDrive knob
3. In-built devices should work normally
Cheers!

[@KenRichards]

For those that have a HUD, and LOVE the GPS turn by turn showing up on the HUD, does this product convey the Google Maps navigation to the HUD, or will we have to continue using the iDrive GPS to benefit from the HUD?

[@bimmer-tech]

Sadly the MMI does not work with HUD :(

[@MrSabifa]

Is there a plan to add this via a software update in the future?

[@crd716]

@@bimmer-techdang, I’d probably buy one of these if it integrated with the hud right, but for the price it’s at it makes no sense to buy when it strips out a core feature :/

[@kaynehindmarsh3979]

Hi there, Does the CIC keep functionality as well? Cheers

[@bimmer-tech]

Yes it does!

[@musicbytwist]

Would this fit in my BMW i8? Also is the screen touchscreen?

[@bimmer-tech]

As for the compatibility - check it yourself on our website. Just type in the VIN in the top bar and see the search results :)
The functions are not usable with touchscreen :)

[@wlfpck25]

Will this work on MGU to allow front camera install on say the 2020+ X3?

[@bimmer-tech]

Yes, it's compatible with newer models as well!

[@alex_olzi1425]

can i install it to the idrive v4 business navi with 6,5'' screen?

[@bimmer-tech]

Yep, should be compatible, but to be sure you can type in the VIN on our website

[@shano81]

how do you power a fireStick with the mmiPro, does the mmiPro have usb power out?

[@bimmer-tech]

Yep, exactly!

[@riggingpower4643]

I have the mmi prime already in my bmw. I need just to changed with pro and pay extra if it's possible.

[@bimmer-tech]

Hey! Hit us up on Facebook or Instagram - we'll let you know what we can do!

[@riggingpower4643]

[@carcultureAD]

I installed this prime on my f30 and now I can’t use BimmerCode. Is there any way I can code with the MMI prime carplay?

[@bimmer-tech]

Wiat would like to code? We have our coding department, so we could help you out :)

[@mailman1980]

​@@bimmer-techWhy bimmercode cannot be used when using Prime/Pro?

[@DarkKentX]

Will the Pro fit the 2017 i8?

[@bimmer-tech]

If the Prime works, the Pro will work too! Cheers!

[@Mungleboy]

Is the MAP from carplay work with HUD??

[@bimmer-tech]

Sadly it doesn't work like that

[@kenny8343]

does both the prime/pro support spotify

[@bimmer-tech]

Of course!

[@lluisvila9231]

Does it work for E92 with CIC system?

[@bimmer-tech]

Yes, it works perfectly fine!

[@NeighborhoodWineliquor]

I would love to get this for my car , the issue is price . $700 , all the others are $350 , what’s so special with there model . It’s a rip off

[@bimmer-tech]

The price might look a little excessive, but for the quality of product, straightforward install instructions and after-sales support, we think it's fair :)

[@eldonpacker1933]

Totally agree their price is ridiculous

[@HecticComments]

I got a 2023 mini countryman, it has wireless apple carplay but no android auto, will this provide wireless android auto? And will my touch screen work or just the idrive knob? Also, if i reverse will the camera pop up like it normally would?

[@JuanSanchez-vx1yf]

I've installed numerous units that can add carplay/AA to vehicles. BimmerTech's units are by far the most solid units that I carry. You people know the saying. You get what you pay for.
