I purchased this instead of other brands and Bimmer-Tech that charges $400-$600+. I solely wanted Apple CarPlay. I have a 2017 BMW 320i xDrive (No Nav - NBT), I came from a 6.5" screen. This screen is massive but not goofy. It uplifts the interior of your vehicle as well!

I uploaded some images as well (if you have any doubt I'm real)

Pros:

Price:
I got the 2G version since I have no intention of using 4G LTE or the GPS. I use CarPlay. The price is fantastic and affordable!

Display:
Sharp display at 720p - It is LCD not OLED which is okay. The screen is decent, honestly. You don't need a 4K or 1080p or 8K UHD OLED display in a vehicle, be honest with yourself. It is also touch screen!

Usability:
This took time to get used to not because t's difficult but rather because I'm coming from a small display. Once you get the hang of it? It flows very well!

CarPlay:
To make it clear. This device itself does NOT drain your iPhone battery. Wireless CarPlay itself can cause massive battery drain depending on your phone and if you're using maps. Why? Wireless CarPlay with PEMP or even if it's OEM. It is hot spotting and it is mirroring CarPlay hence battery. Again, that IS an Apple ISSUE not PEMP. CarPlay is super fun and convienent to use. If you got an iPhone and want CarPlay? This is how you do it. Bare in mind, you must initiate CarPlay after you start your vehicle, it is not automate from cold start. No biggie, hoping they release an update soon.

Installation:
Took me an hour (give or take). Super simple, do NOT freak out once you open the box and see the wires and stuff in the car and in the box the device is. TAKE YOUR TIME. Super simple and fast for me to do!

Cons:

Everyone's mileage will vary. Personally, I wish CarPlay was automatic from cold start. I also wish we could customize some of the menus in the system when we select the iDrive 7, 6 or 5 templates but it's no big problem. It takes about 10 seconds or so for the android side to boot up. Again, not an issue and this will happen on ALL brands that are not OEM. CarPlay does cut or skip sometimes but SELDOM does.
