Hifimax BMW Navigation ReviewsSee store reviews

As others may have shared, the instructions don’t really include a step by step of how to dismantle to get through the entire dashboard, as it does require a lot of patience and prying to get through to the internals. For example, on my E84 you essentially have to move the entire center console out of place to access the main stereo cables, which is extremely tedious and you’ll also be faced with the challenge of getting all the cables to fit since the cables to the new display add a bit more bu...

I recently installed the HIFIMax Android 14 model B283 10.25” head unit in my car and overall I am very happy with it. The unit arrived in very good packaging and everything was well protected. Installation was easier than expected and the system started up quickly without issues. I had one small issue during setup, but customer support was very helpful and the problem was resolved very quickly. The screen looks great, the interface is smooth, and the unit works very fast. It really upgraded the...

I installed an aftermarket Linux/Android screen and backup camera on my BMW X3 F25, and I’m really impressed with the result. The installation was easier than expected, everything fit well, and both the original iDrive system and the new interface work seamlessly together. The backup camera works perfectly and adds a lot of convenience when parking. The new screen also gives the interior a much more modern and premium feel. Overall, it’s a very clean and stylish upgrade that I would definitely ...

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience, ordering directly from this company. Installation was incredibly smooth for an extremely novice person like myself. Instructions were provided in the box via QR code as a video on my phone received within 10 seconds. I absolutely recommend consulting this company with your vehicle information asking what model is compatible. Communication is timely and efficient.They are knowledgeable and their recommendation is reliable. I tried doi...

Very impressive and pleasing screen size with blazing high performance. My first experience with an Android unit dates back to 2014 on a 2007 Mercedes, then 2018 on a Dodge Grand Caravan. So much has evolved since then. I never liked the OEM price tag, which is exorbitant and has a very restricted app environment. I'm pleased to purchase this Android unit for my mother's BMW X3 2018, which far exceeds my expectations and allows for new possibilities such as wireless CarPlay, Android GPS apps, an...

Absolutely love it! I higly Recommend buying a 10.25" linux screen from Hifimax for a BMW X5 E70. Everything works perfectly well, exactly like I wanted and the sound is even better than the original. Only thing I would point out to Paul is to add in the insctructions "check if your head unit is a harman kardon or alpine after you connnect the cables, since you need to know when you power up your screen". Everything from buying it with rapid shipment to powering it up and enjoying it gets my 5 s...

I was wondering for a longer time about an upgrade and decided for finally for this nice big Linux screen. The installation wasn’t that tricky and YouTube help additionally with installing. Now I’ve a nice and very good looking new screen with Car Play. My system is NBT with Bluetooth so there was no need for AUX installation. Everything is working regarding the sound via the screen including telephone combined with the original system. The system is fast but could be a little bit faster (never ...

I’m very satisfied with this 12.3″ Android GPS CarPlay head unit. Both the Android interface and the original BMW iDrive (OEM) interface work perfectly, and switching between them is seamless. The installation was easy and straightforward, even for someone without advanced technical experience. Customer support deserves special mention. Paul was incredibly helpful, patient, and professional, providing excellent support from start to finish. This made the whole experience even better. Highly r...

Works as described. Paul was very helpful. Not as difficult as I thought to install, but I did take my time (2h) and did it professionally. I have the NBT system so the aux (front) works without having to thread cables to the centre console. I also use the original phone via BMW as it is faster to connect than the Android screen. I have stopped using CarPlay and have downloaded all the apps I need to use directly from the Android with a sim card. Reverse camera takes a few seconds longer to come...

Excellent replacement for my old OEM screen in my F30. I opted for this Linux model due to its fast booting, really only takes 3 seconds, and needed CarPlay functionality only anyways. Screen looks fantastic day and night time. Although no glare option available for this model, it does have anti reflection coating and does the job. Recommend watching various Youtube videos for the install. Tight fit for the additional harness if you have the larger Harmon Kardon head unit. Make sure you connect ...

I just installed it on my 2014 X3 with the NBT system. Everything is working fine so far. Loving the CarPlay. It's now my main source for music, radio, navigation and phone. I see no use in the OEM system anymore. The new kit is just always on and running in the background even when you exit. There are some setting adjustments required to optimize it. For example turning off the OEM Bluetooth so the phone doesn't keep giving you options for the output source. And a few microphone and vol...

BMW Z4 / E85 / had the oem screen but was broken, cracked and severely outdated… found these guys and asked paul every possible question and concern… my man had video instructions of everything i asked lol… don’t even hesitate, get this and throw away your old oem tiny dated screen… and if you don’t have a screen this will change your life… apple car play and everything working straight off my iphone is amazing! music, maps, navigation, siri commands, etc… don’t hesitate just get it… the reviews...

This screen is very high quality and easy to use. It is also much cheaper than Android screens. I don't need any of the things that an Android screen has over this Linux one, as Apple CarPlay does everything I need in a car. There is a small issue with the automatic day/night switching with my 2016 X3 (NBT) car. It turns to night mode when the lights come on, but doesn't change back when they go off again, so tunnels switch it into night mode for the rest of that trip. Having said this, the sup...
