Hi. What about car battery disconnection. I isntalled my screen without. Why battery exchange is done with external supply and here we disconnect battery just like that?
Did this car have a back up camera already installed? I got everything connected and screen working but my car says no signal when I try to use my back up camera? I see there is a rear camera cable but nowhere to plug it into. Any advice?
Love the videos as I own a 2015 M235i! The car is amazing. As I was watching your video for rear sway bar install I thought of another video I would like to see. Where are all the Zerk Fittings and what type of Grease is suggested for each location if it differs.
Hi Fritz and thank you for this very well explained video. I just get 2 questions : what is the usage of the 4G and gps antenna ? If I don’t t intend to add a SIM card I don t think I need the 4G. I will use my phone as access point to give access to internet ? Am I right ? Then for the gps as I planned to use carplay I think that the gps of my phone through Waze will by sufficient to navigate. Am I right ? Thx for your feedbacks in advance,
Hello my friend! Thanks to your video I was able to change the screen without any problem. When I start the car, I find that everything works but it doesn't stop the music when they call me and I can't hear the music from the carplay. Everything works except that. Any idea what it could be? Thanks!
Hi, one question about radio capabilities on this new unit: Does it support Radio AF (Alternative Frequencies). From my experience these china units do not support it. So if you drive outside the city and depends on the signal coverage you change broadcast stations, your analog radio should automatically change it and not losing signal.
Hallo Fritz, ich habe mir dieses Radio über Ebay gekaut. Es ist für eine BMW X1 F48 Bj 2015, das Radio läuft gut, habe aber bei der TÜV-Untersuchung ein Problem. Es kommt eine Fehlermeldung, dass die Verbindung zwischen Display und Steuergerät gestört ist. Wenn ich zum TÜV will, muss ich immer das Original Display einbauen, damit diese Fehler nicht kommt. Gibt es dafür eine Lösung. Hello Fritz, I bought this radio on Ebay. It's for a 2015 BMW X1 F48, the radio works well, but I had a problem during the TÜV inspection. An error message appears that the connection between the display and the control unit is disturbed. If I want to go to the TÜV, I always have to install the original display so that this error doesn't occur. Is there a solution for this.
Thanks for the videos! I installed a Koason 12.3" screen in my 2018 F80 M3. I coded in the aux cable since my car didn't come with one. With my phone connected to the screen via Bluetooth, I'm able to play music just fine. I don't have any audio for my phone though. Am I supposed to connect to my car, or the screen? The navigation in the screen has also never worked, but it does work using Android Auto when connected to the screen. Any help would be appreciated.
Mr. Ramos, your videos are great, however my issues is I have a 2018 X1 and have tired two different screens and in both cases all I got was a blank screen (had a local stereo shop do the install). I thought I saw something that suggested you could help with finding me a shop to do the install. I am in California, Murrieta zip code 92563. The small screen is killing me. I do own my vehicle, so I am not worried about voiding a warranty. Thanks, in advance!
Hello Fritz, I know that I am coming late in the game to this, but I just adopted my first BMW on January 25th 2024. I am the proud father of a 2019 BMW X1 sDrive28i F48, and my questions are: 1) It appears that I already have a much larger screen than is displayed in the video, I think that it is around 8+" corner to corner diagonally. Is it worth it to swap out with the Android screen? I use only Android phones so the advantage of having Android Auto is the plus. What are your thoughts? 2) I also have the Heads-Up display and my favorite map to use if I went with this screen, is Waze. That would not show on my Heads-Up display will it with the turn-by-turns, correct?
Ok I installed the same screen to my 2011 bmw535i but I am having problem with rear view camera conversion when I switch my gear to reverse :( do I have any suggestions to solve this?
Looks like it, my comment & Ramos's reply are gone & the orig has been marked private. Was commenting that I got another brand's version of this screen (they are all made by the same folks overseas) a year ago this week & it's been a life changer.
HELLO, I HAVE A 2019 BMW X1 XDRIVE AND A COMPANY THAT SELLS SCREENS TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE MY X1 CAME FACTORY WITH TOUCH SCREEN THAT NO NDROID SCREENS ARE COMPATABLE WITH MY X1 AND I CAN NOT INSTALL AN AFTERMARKET ANDROID/CARPLAY 12.3 SCREEN... IS THIS TRUE? IF NOT, WHAT AND WHERE CAN I BUY 12.3 SCREEN? ANYONE CAN HELP..
That's because when I called bmw they told me I could only upgrade to 8.8" but it would run about $3,000... yea ok. I'm literally waiting for my 10.25"screen to arrive as of 2/23/24
The F30 evo screen buyer left 1 star review because he chosen the wrong CANBUS type settings on android factory settings, should try different EVO canbus type untill find working one. we have detailed guidance included in package. thanks
Excellent video, gave me the confidence to replace the 6.5" screen on our 2016 BMW X1 F48 NBT with a 12.3" from Koason. Thanks Fritz!
Gotta grab this
Best DIY, explains everything clearly!
I like the PEMP brand screen, did not have a great experience trying to order from Koasan. Great content as always Fritz
Great installation video to follow - we follow this for our clients over here in the UK!
Well done!
Very useful and clear video. Thank you sir. I just needed to ask if it's possible to add an aftermarket backup camera too on this unit ?
Any updates on the screen, the link you left has a 1 star review. Scared to purchase
I've had no problems with mine. When I checked it is a 1 star review, but it only has 1 review.
Interesting stuff as always Fritz; keep 'em coming!
Please, write the link, where this big screen with wires is selling
Love the video can you tell where to buy that i have 2018 430 i tnank you
Hi. What about car battery disconnection. I isntalled my screen without. Why battery exchange is done with external supply and here we disconnect battery just like that?
Great video! I got it connected. Next step is coding
Great job!
Did this car have a back up camera already installed? I got everything connected and screen working but my car says no signal when I try to use my back up camera? I see there is a rear camera cable but nowhere to plug it into. Any advice?
Do you have a link to the screen you bought?
I'm interested,. Where are these screens sold?

Would it work in 2018 x3 g01 model ?

Would replacing a 2016 f48 screen to the larger 2018 nbt 6 require the same coding
Will this upgrade work with my bmw f25 2018?

Does it compatible for model 2016 ?
Yes, it is compatible with model 2016 also, thanks

Hello sir, we have 12.3inch screen upgrade for your car also, both support wireless and wired android auto and carplay, thanks
If the small screen had camera, would it work automatically? My package came with a small camera. I’m not sure where that goes.
Yes , it support OEM rear camera , after installation, you can choose "OEM camera" in android setting, it will work automatically, thanks
clear good video
Where do we buy this bigger screen?
amzn.to/3J7ktyB
Thanks!
Where can I have it done in LA? Maybe Ktown?
DIY is okay also, we have technical support via mail or whatsapp , thanks
my head unit doesn't have enough slack to access the back of the unit...looks like the harness is attached somewhere under the center console. 😥
Dont worry , BMW has enoght space behind headunit.
How much does this usually cost to have it done professionally?
Please check it with your local car audio shop, better to show them this video also.
Ok I installed the same screen to my 2011 bmw535i but I am having problem with rear view camera conversion when I switch my gear to reverse :( do I have any suggestions to solve this?
If your rear view camera is OEM one, need to choose "OEM camera" in android setting, then it will work automatically.
Can I do this to x2 2018
yes you can
Can I get this done on my 2017?
yes
Hey, can this be done on a 2017 BMW X1 xdrive 28i and if so does anyone know who can do it in Memphis, Tennessee?
yes, it can be done on a 2017 BMW X1, you can install it by yourself DIY or look for local car audio installer, Thanks
Nice👍
Thought I've seen this. Reupload?
Looks like it, my comment & Ramos's reply are gone & the orig has been marked private. Was commenting that I got another brand's version of this screen (they are all made by the same folks overseas) a year ago this week & it's been a life changer.
Wait.. I don't think this system is compatible with the 2019 BMW x1 x drive 28i F48. His link shows compatability with bmw x1F48 (15-17) only
If your 2019 F48 is EVO system, it is compatible also.
HELLO, I HAVE A 2019 BMW X1 XDRIVE AND A COMPANY THAT SELLS SCREENS TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE MY X1 CAME FACTORY WITH TOUCH SCREEN THAT NO NDROID SCREENS ARE COMPATABLE WITH MY X1 AND I CAN NOT INSTALL AN AFTERMARKET ANDROID/CARPLAY 12.3 SCREEN... IS THIS TRUE? IF NOT, WHAT AND WHERE CAN I BUY 12.3 SCREEN? ANYONE CAN HELP..
Yeah i wanna know too. I also have a 2019
Told me can't change it as well I have a 2017 model
That's because when I called bmw they told me I could only upgrade to 8.8" but it would run about $3,000... yea ok. I'm literally waiting for my 10.25"screen to arrive as of 2/23/24
Does anyone know the passcode for bimmer plugs 10.25 screen?
our screen brand code is 2018 ,thanks
I want to do this on my X1 2018 but in Nederland they are lazy😢
DIY
Can I put this in my bmw x1, f48 12/2018?
This is same car
Why does the review of the screen have 1 star please???
The F30 evo screen buyer left 1 star review because he chosen the wrong CANBUS type settings on android factory settings, should try different EVO canbus type untill find working one. we have detailed guidance included in package. thanks
Would replacing a 2016 f48 screen to the larger 2018 nbt 6 require the same coding
Can you this in an 2015 X4?
