It does. I'm about to pull the trigger on the new Avin unit myself. Touch screen, Android 10.0, and you can now get the 1920x720 resolution which is awesome.

I'm so excited!

I also have the Avin unit in my E46 M3, and it's dope (also running Android 10.0).

This is the current available unit for the F15 X5:

Has anyone found a usb-passthrough plug that can replace the cigarette lighter, so that we can have a more "stock" look?

Basically rip out cigarette lighter.. put in two usb plugs in the round hole that are just extensions to the usb plugs that come out of the HU?

edit:
something like this

is 60cm long enough?

I ordered the android 10 model 4GB LTE, for X5 F15 2014, all was good except for the the reverse camera, the display was in black and white, the 360 did not work,aliexpress seller told me to connect 2 wires in the the unit to a multi wire power plug in the car but he was not sure which ones exactly, anyways the tech I used did a trial and error, but did not work then the seller suggested I use an aftermaket camera and I thought things were not going in the right direction so I sent back, I think that language was a barrier and also there is not a wiring diagram to show exactly how to connect it.

If you want to keep up to date with the latest information on these screens, updates on Android 10, errors, etc., you should go to this other forum thread:

Anyone have one of these in a 2017? Most models say they don't work in a 2017 but this one says that it does, I'm skeptical

Cancelled mine after reading this.

Yeah I sent my aliexpress one back, still waiting for it to arrive in China........ Sent it back in January. It didn't work because I have a 2017 which is id6 and an evo+ edition or something like that. Don't remember it was another world back then. Anyway, I'm just curious if the avin unit works on a 2017 I'm aware it says that it does but so did the Allie unit when I purchased it

Gents! I've removed the face panel controlling the AC/Heating and radio buttons due to MMI installation. The MMI is working great but I have a problem. My AC/Music control panel is no longer working. I'm pretty sure cables are and well connected both 18 pin connectors (blue one into the blue and black to black port). Any suggestions? Perhaps, I've blown the fuse, but not sure which number it is. I'm open to any suggestion, getting desperate here. Please help!

Thanks! I've check the connector and it seems ok. By any chance, does anyone have or know where I can get the wiring diagram to check the continuity of the cables? It is possible that one of the cable got damaged (White/Brown on the blue connector)

Are any cables from cables from blue connector going down to the NBT?
