- Certified BMW tech Brandon shows us how to install an updated Android CarPlay radio screen with a rear view backup camera connected to the aftermarket headunit on an E90 M3. This DIY guide also works for e92 3 series such as 335i or 328i as well. This interior mod allows you to use Apple Carplay or Android Auto for navigation system with the knob or steering wheel controls. It’s the perfect retrofit upgrade to modernize the outdated I-Drive system for BMW CIC or CCC nav screen.

Great Job. Most thorough installation vid I’ve seen for e9x headunit upgrades. Thank You.
Thanks for the comment! Glad to help 😊
Thanks for filming this install, super helpful!
Any time! Thanks for the comment 🙏
Quality looks OEM for an affordable price. Nice job.
Agreed! Thanks for the comment 🙏
Great video Sal! 😎👏👏
Thanks Mel, for having us over 😊 🙏
It's the end screen for me!
Bobby!
That’s dope 💣
Thank you KJ 🐐
Thanks!
Anytime! Thanks for the comment 🙏
Awesome Video!! I've got a 328i and just ordered a head unit for myself. Keep the videos coming!! >:)
Thanks so much for the comment! Let me know how the install goes. Good luck 👍
Nice upgrade - we also install the same screens over here in the UK!
Nice! Thanks for sharing.
thats nice spec m3 manual e90 interlagos blu speed cloth
Yea, very rare, those speed cloth seats are light
Just got this unit in the mail for me 2011 bmw 328i and am going to attempt to install it... wish me luck!!
You got this. Good luck! 👍
Hi do there happens to be a problem with mine, everything went smooth but in the middle of the screen, there’s a giant oval of white and the contrast isn’t clear… what can I do?
@@lolcrazyazn contact the seller because I am not aware of the problem
W video, I think I'll need to see about that trunk wiring for my camera too
Thanks for the comment. Hopefully you can get a similar setup soon 🙌
Detailed video and nice product 👍
Thanks Rick. It is a great mod for the outdated E90 platform for sure
Dope
Thanks brotha
Thanks for the link to HD camera, was wondering if it was available
Anytime! It’s worth it. Crystal clear vs the 480p
Great vid. One question, I see some of the head unit will reset and go back to the old system once you press the m mode button on the steering wheel and you have to re-select the music that you want to play, does this head unit have the issue?
It does, but you can fix that in the factory settings. I think the code is 8888
Hi Sal - Great video I have purchased and installed it. Works perfectly. Question tho how did you get your back up camera theme to look like that with the 3d sensor display? I bought everything from your URL. And the camera only works with Aftermarket camera setting. How did you get yours like that?
There should be a factory menu from the settings, type the pin code and look for various settings in there. Good luck 👍
Want one of these for mine but is there a dramatic reduction in audio quality or is it just minor? I’ve got the harman kardon so wouldn’t want to make that upgrade useless
The sound quality is very good since it hooks up to the aux cable you will have the audio quality provided by the Harmon Kardon upgrade 👍
Good vid. But I wish you would have said which wire you connected the reverse camera to after connecting the yellow rca. There is usually a red wire coming out of the yellow rca connector, and there are two different camera wires on the harness. There's a pink wire that is labeled "Camera DET". Then there is also a red wire that is labeled "Camera +12". I tried both but have no picture on my screen when I put it into reverse. So while it seems common sense that it's the red camera +12, since I'm not getting a picture, I'm still wondering.
For manual transmission you need to install a relay since the reverse light is not the best 12v source.

Sal: Anything you wanna add?
Me: I just want to eat.
As usual 😂
😅
@@JermsDNA LOL
Great video, whats the 5G wifi adapter called that we can see being used in the video and where would I be able to buy one? (can be seen at 10:11)
Thanks! That is a 5g antenna. I don’t know where you can buy one, but it allows you to use a SIM card to have data anywhere and use the internet. I usually just use Wi-Fi hotspot on my phone.
Very good installation. When you scan the car after fitting the unit you will get an error code as the car knows that the head unit has been replaced. How do you deal with this?
Thx, this is completely plug and play. No error codes or coding required.
my mother loves speed cloth
I like it too. It’s lighter than traditional seats
@@Sals_Garage maybe sometime we can sit together 😉
@@johnjameson6113 sure thing
Hi Sal, I am installing the same unit in my 08 E93 M3. Do I have to hook up the 3.5mm cable to the aux port in the center console to get it to work? From the factory, the harness I received is connected to the harness going into the CD/DVD player unit. I can't get any sound from the Android out to the speakers though when I am on aux. I feel like it should not be necessary to wire to the aux port like you did? I can't find that in any of the instructions. Seems like they should have sent a 3.5mm aux cable with the unit if that was the intended case.
Yea sounds like you need to plug it into the aux port.
Hi , I have a 2006 330i and the Head unit doesn’t work. How everything lights up but nothing displays on the screen and no sound is heard. Everything else is in working order from the amp to everything else. Do I just replace the CCC and that’s it? Or what do you suggest?
Sounds like you need to replace your CCC unit. Happened to a friend before and replacing the CCC fixed it.
Hey, I ordered the same exact reverse cam for my e90 m3 with an AVIN headunit and for some reason I cannot get it to power on at all. My car is a DCT and I heard that the wiring is different for a manual car. Is there anyway you could please help or is there some sort of setting I need to change within the headunit?
Check the settings in the headunit and power cable is spliced to the headunit that says rear cam. Ground cable goes somewhere in the trunk. Good luck.
Sick - need to do this one day lol
Yes! Well worth it for the backup camera alone 😊
@@Sals_Garage you ready for another project!? 😂😂😂
@@PsiQoOne Always lol
@@Sals_Garage Lol coming soon
@@PsiQoOne excited for the fuel pump upgrade. Need to feel the power increase to E50 😆
Hi, does this work on E90 330i 2006? I have the Nav. with the iDrive. I would also like to know about the rear HD camera and if you can help with the installation (I am in the South Bay Area). Thanks!
It can, but just contact the seller and provide the information about your car so they can guide you to the correct product.
Hi there, do you guys have any problems with the Bluetooth “ people can hear me but I can not hear anything from the other side” ? Any ideas?
Have not had any issues with that. Hoping you can fix it soon and let us know. Good luck 👍
Do you have a camera interface installed? How do I activate the active parking line?
It is under the settings menu. Good luck. 👍
Hey there! I have a 2011 335i E90 “M Tech” and getting ready to buy these items for myself as well.
Did you say your in the bay area? I’m in Walnut Creek can you install? Also is there a higher HD camera I noticed this one is 480? I seen some other cameras at higher HD like 720, and 1080? Would you upgrade the camera or do you like the one you have ? Thank You! Hope to hear back!
Yes I can install for you for cheap. 480p is a enough for us, but if you want HD you can order one. Our instagram is cars_with_ellie, let me know if you message us.
Is there any way it can up set up as a outer head screen with factory oem screen
Unfortunately you can’t unless you have single hump dash.
Nice work on the install! Looks OEM. Where did you get the carbon fiber for the panel and red buttons from?
Thanks! It isn’t my car so I don’t know exactly, but I can ask the owner and get back to ya
The carbon fibre trim comes with M3’s as a option from factory(you can also spot them in some 335is’s but that’s really rare), as for the red button u can find em on Amazon or AliExpress.
Thanks bro
@@rrryder no problemo
@@rrryder anytime! Good luck 👍
If I’m not mistaking you said it was from Ali express but linked Amazon ?? Where did he get his from because ali express has a cheaper one than the one you linked but I dont know if it’s a cheapy lower quality laggy one
I don’t have a link for the Ali express one so I just linked the one I bought for my E93 M3 from Amazon which has served me well. Hope you can find a good one that suits your needs. Good luck 👍
Do you have an updated link for the Android CIC head unit? Link in description is not yielding a valid buyable product.
amzn.to/41j1ad8
Does this unit have a L /R RCA & Remote output to an amp?
Yes there is 👍
Sal hey, 9:08 of video where he says purple goes to blue. Is that purple connector part of the OEM wires? Got my unit today and looking it over and I do not see a purple connector.
Yea oem is a purple wire. Good luck 👍
Thanks going to tackle it this weekend
@@donovananderson396 you got this 👍
I recently installed the same screen in my e90, after installing I’m not getting any sound from the audio. I made sure my optic cables were swapped and still no sound, any suggestions?
Switch it to aux
Does using aux for the sound reduce the sound quality?
I haven’t noticed any reduction in sound quality
Hi Sal! How do I set up the wireless car play ?
You will need to buy a wireless CarPlay adapter: amzn.to/3RT0JRZ
why not run the other optional usb through to the center console if you're already running the aux there?
It’s a tight space but if you can fit it kudos to you!
Yeah I figured drilling through the side next to it might make it look a little neater. @@Sals_Garage
@@htes-ng9ul good idea 👍
Hey Sal you have link to back up camera?
This one is full HD 1080p which is nice and clear: amzn.to/3gziAAv
Do you need to disconnect the battery first? Tnx
You don't have to, but it is recommended.
Where did you put mic??
Driver’s side footwell area.
Sal did you have to ground yours? I connected to back of unit to 12 volt wire but camera not working. DCT so no need to connect to reverse wire in trunk right
Yes ground wire was grounded to the taillight mounting nut.
@@Sals_Garage Thanks working like a charm, grounded it like you said.
@@donovananderson396 great job 👏
Great video boys but I’m having problems with the link you’ve used. It shows…
No results for Car GPS Navigator Android 10.0 Auto Stereo for BMW 3 5 Series E90 E60 with iDrive System Retained 8.8 inch Touch Screen, Carplay, WiFi, Bluetooth (2009-2012 CIC System, Octa Core 6GB RAM 128GB ROM).
Thanks! It’s a USA link so I’m not sure if it works internationally. Good luck 👍
Do i have to use both optic and aux cables?
Optic cable connects to the CD player. Aux cable is for sound. Both are necessary for it to work.
Will this work on my 2009 330d Touring?
Yes 👍
Which version do I need if I have a 2007 335i
CCC iDrive
Good morning Sal not a head unit question today. What gear should I use for a burnout or donut?
1st gear to 2nd
Thanks Bro
@@donovananderson396 anytime!
The screen looks very reflective, is there a screen protector film that you didn't remove? The original screen is nice and mat.
It is very reflective out of the box. My personal car has the same screen but I bought a matte screen protector to reduce the glare.
@@Sals_Garage What screen protector did you buy?
@@kisame1110 amzn.to/3GFlpdM
@@Sals_Garage is this screem protector matte finish to reduce glare? From the url it shows glossy tempered glass
@@kisame1110 yes ask seller for anti glare screen protector
My i drive buttons doesn’t work properly any suggestions please thanks
Sorry unfamiliar with that issue. Hope you’re able to fix it soon.
Does the carplay ever disconnect? I am having issue where the wireless carplay will randomly drop the connection and then reconnect. So annoying! Are you experiencing the same?
No disconnections here. I only get that when I press the M button on the steering wheel, but it connects back when returning to android screen.
I am using a wired connection and mine drops. Did you solve this ? Any help will be appreciated. Also how do you set up the wireless CarPlay.
@@StillRingbells Had same issue, swapped a new cable, it fixed the issue. I was using a no name amazon cable prior.
Does this work for e93 bmw 2011 ?
Yes it does 👍
Couple questions before I pull the trigger on this for my e92, is the glare really that bad that it makes the screen unbearable like some other people say? I saw you say when you press the M button it disconnects you from CarPlay for a moment, is this true when using wired carplay too? And finally is the system itself super laggy or is it actually refined, like when using google maps the car and maps is smooth and up to par with modern vehicle CarPlay’s or is it super choppy? Please let me know I would really appreciate it before I decide to order the camera and unit
Hi. First of all, the unit is very speedy without lag.
The M button disconnects briefly from CarPlay but you can quickly swap back to it again. There are also factory settings you can change to avoid this issue as well.
The glare is not bad, but there are anti glare screen protectors you can purchase if you want to eliminate it. I have one on my bigger android screen.
Overall, this screen is a huge upgrade over stock and makes the car more modern. Good luck 👍
@@Sals_Garagethanks so much for the reply! I’l take your word for it and place the order :)
@@ssjsquad1310 Nice. I can install and setup for you if you’re local, otherwise good luck and enjoy.
@@Sals_GarageI’m in LA, how much do you charge?
@@ssjsquad1310 Bay Area, $100 and $50 for the backup camera 👍
Anyone tried this with an android phone, if so how does it connect, via cable?
Android auto is wired or wireless as well. 👍
Why do you have to plug the aux cable in? What wont work if you dont?
The sound
@@Sals_Garage i hear there are headunits that dont need the aux. Have you?
@@raffez2270 Mr 12 Volt
How much to do the same did my car?
$150 is what I usually charge in Bay Area, CA
After 1 year is this still performing well?
Yes, very reliable so far without issues.
Was this for the CIC or CCC unit?
CIC
replace dvd with coffe machine
😆 👍
Have there been any problems with the android screen or back up camera? The installer here in San Antonio stop installing them here because he said there was no tech support. Not sure I believe him.
There isn’t much tech support but it’s not needed for me so far. I have been using it for the last 3 years without issues for the back up cam or the screen.
Never mind I found it
Nice! Good luck 👍
Where does the aux plug into ?
Center console inside arm rest
@@Sals_Garage what about the one that goes into the head unit
@@introboyz2203 connects to the aux port under arm rest.
@@Sals_Garage what the other end?I know one plugs somewhere inside the unit and one goes into the arm rest
@@introboyz2203 yes exactly how you said it.
Tried this on mine and removed it after 4 weeks due to screen glare and unable to see the screen
Yea that is my biggest gripe is the screen is hard to see in direct sunlight. I have a convertible so it’s tough, but I got used to it.
10:02 segulls laughing
😆 🦅
i bought it and it literally doesnt have carplay
Contact customer support
Great video, but fuck me the hype men in the back ground with then "Nice" and shit, annoying AF.
For real, Those guys suck
So laggy
First time setting up the CarPlay is gonna take time, then smooth sailing from there on. 👍
