Upgrade your BMW 7 Series E38 with our next-generation Apple CarPlay & Android Auto retrofit system. Designed as a true plug & play solution, this module lets you use your smartphone directly on the factory screen — wirelessly, smoothly, and without altering the original interior.
Navigation, music, calls, messaging, and media apps are instantly accessible. Forget phone holders and visible cables: your dashboard becomes a fully integrated multimedia command center, perfectly aligned with the luxury DNA of the 7 Series.
With full CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, your smartphone interface appears naturally on the original BMW display.
Use your apps just like factory-installed features, without distracting interactions while driving. Music streaming, phone calls, messages, GPS navigation, and podcasts are all accessible in a safe, intuitive layout.
Navigate confidently using Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps, directly displayed on your BMW 7 Series screen.
Enjoy real-time traffic updates, speed alerts, voice-guided directions, and optimized routes — all rendered in high definition. No more squinting at a phone screen: navigation becomes clear, fluid, and distraction-free.
Whether you rely on Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, or YouTube (while parked), your favorite content is always within reach, delivered through your vehicle’s original sound system for excellent audio quality.
Browse playlists, change tracks, or launch video content effortlessly — a perfect companion for both daily driving and long journeys with passengers.
Stay fully focused behind the wheel while remaining connected.
Activate Siri or Google Assistant via steering wheel buttons or voice command. Send messages, place calls, start navigation, or play music — all hands-free, safely, and intuitively.
Because installing our connected head unit shouldn't come at the expense of the features already in your BMW, our system is fully compatible with all your vehicle’s original options:
Compatible with the OEM CD player
Compatible with OEM steering wheel controls
Compatible with both standard and Harman Kardon sound systems
