Bimmer-tech has great support, and yeah, they are the most expensive.

There's Andream/Road Top/Carplay. Cheapest option and support is ok. But works just fine (I have a Road Top unit).

Mr12Volt is in the middle, price-wise. Their unit puts out audio through the M.O.S.T. (so not through aux but through fiber, purportedly better audio quality). This just came out and will require you to enable the TV setting in idrive (not sure if that can be done with bimmercode). One person has posted that he has it but the audio cuts out after a few minutes and is waiting to hear back from Mr12Volt. (if this gets fixed, I might switch to this one even though I'm fine and happy with my RoadTop).

edit: I just looked at a video for the mr12volt install. It looks like it has an external microphone. I'm not sure if it's for Siri/Google and/or phone calls but that's a bummer.

I'm going the full OEM ID6 retrofit (https://www.bimmer-tech.net/category...ystem-retrofit) but not from BimmerTech since they charge way more. Keeps all OEM functionality and doesnt downgrade audio

So there will be an audio downgrade if an Android Auto unit or box is installed and you connect through Bluetooth? I guess because it creates a virtual AUX interface to feed the audio to the head unit?

Brand: Mr12Volt
Model: P2000 NBTMD

The brand new Mr12Volt P2000 MD series
has just gotten better now with a built-in highly customizable 15 bar DSP equalizer!

Mr12volt P2000 MD Apple Carplay and Android Auto interface is the most innovative and advance car multi-media interface kit by far, it uses native M.O.S.T. bus optical signal transport for audio while others similar products still use a digital to analog conversion through the AUX input which degrades signal. Mr12volt preserves digital audio signal from source to output to ensure outstanding sound quality. The P2000MD incorporates with your OEM radio, retrofits Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features into the BMW NBT Infotainment system. The P2000MD is the perfect product for someone who wants to upgrade their car stereo system and retain all original looks and parts.

Why choose Mr12Volt CarPlay & Android Auto interface

Unlike others in the market that use Auxiliary input as sound source, Mr12Volt is designed with Built-In Fiber Optical M.O.S.T bus system for sound source, bringing its sound quality to the next level, that no others can even compete with.

Supports CarPlay and Android Auto in one device
100% Plug and Play, no cutting wires or soldering

I also vote to go to ID6 upgrade. Simpler, doesn't downgrade audio, not a Chinese solution. It costs quite a bit more, but worth it in my Opinion. I've installed a couple for friends here around the Philly area.
