Apple play / Android auto box
Any recommendation on which box to buy? There's plenty of products in the 200 to 300 usd price range on eBay or AliExpress. Any product links would be appreciated

I did extensive research on this. If you care about audio quality, skip the android boxes. sad but true.

I bought a generic one on eBay and it installed easy, always works eventually, sometimes a little quirky to get working on car start. Love it though - use it everyday. I recommend. |

Anyways, mr12volt sells an Android Box that goes through the OEM TV option (just need to code that option to enable it). That goes through the MOST system - doesn't get better than that. I have RoadTop and am 100% happy with it. |

I installed this on my X5 and it works well.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It was a little tight to install but after a bit of maneuvering around of the cables and box, you can just barely get it in. Sometimes, you have to manually connect to the CarPlay but 97% of the time it connects upon startup - no different than my 2020 330i that has OEM CarPlay... It actually improved audio as well as it has a built-in decoder or something...don't quote me on that but I noticed the audio was better - I also have HK audio in my F15...not sure if that makes a difference. |
