Add Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to your compatible BMW 5 Series E60 / E61 with CIC iDrive. Use supported navigation, music, calling and messaging apps through the original factory screen and supported iDrive controls.
Confirm the factory system before ordering
This is a factory-screen integration interface for a confirmed compatible CIC / applicable CIC-High configuration. It is not a replacement Android display. CCC, NBT, non-iDrive and previously modified vehicles require a different compatibility assessment.
Send VIN, build date and clear photos of the dashboard, original menu and iDrive controller. Model year alone does not identify the correct hardware.
Photos illustrate installation and interface appearance. Screen size, dashboard trim and controller finish vary. The display is retained; no replacement screen or touch overlay is included unless separately confirmed.
Vehicle: BMW 5 Series E60 / E61.
Required equipment: confirmed compatible CIC iDrive / applicable CIC-High unit, matching factory display connection and controller.
Original catalogue reference: 2008–2010. Check build date, market, body style and installed equipment before ordering.
Press and hold the MENU button on the original iDrive control pad to switch between the BMW menu and smartphone interface. Follow the supplied instructions for the exact hold duration.
Use the rotary controller for supported navigation and selection. Some Android Auto functions may not respond to the control knob. Confirm the supplied software behaviour during installation.
This integration kit does not make the factory display touch-sensitive. Steering-wheel and other button support depend on the vehicle configuration and selected interface.
The original product material specifies AUX / an external audio source for sound through the factory speakers. Confirm that the input works and is enabled before installation.
Where AUX is unavailable, confirm whether diagnostic activation or a suitable audio adapter is required. Additional parts or labour depend on the vehicle. The phone-to-interface wireless connection is separate from the car audio input.
Confirm the microphone arrangement for the selected package. The shared component list shows an external microphone where required; factory microphone retention is not established for every version. Check calls and voice commands before completing installation.
Standard reference package: wired Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto through the integration USB connection. Use a suitable data cable.
Wireless option: the source describes wireless CarPlay / Android Auto with an additional accessory or selected wireless package. Confirm inclusion, phone compatibility and the supplied hardware version before ordering.
If wireless connection stability is affected, use the supported wired connection and follow the current kit instructions. Older Android USB-debugging graphics are not used as universal setup requirements.
The original BMW audio unit and display remain in place. Confirm switching back to factory menus and retention of vehicle-specific features with your installer.
Tell Naviplus about factory cameras, parking sensors and any aftermarket equipment before ordering. Camera accessories, retention adapters, video inputs and on-screen sensor behaviour require confirmation; illustrative images do not establish that those accessories are included.
Existing rebooting, no-sound or display faults in the factory system require separate diagnosis.
Confirm connectors, installation hardware, audio adapters and optional wireless accessories in the quote. Professional installation is recommended for wiring, mounting, audio setup and testing.
The interface reference describes fitting without coding for the interface itself. AUX activation can still require diagnostic coding where applicable. Confirm the complete installation requirements before booking.
Retained from the original listing. Videos may show another BMW model, interface version or software generation. Confirm operation for your vehicle.
