One thing to remember is that even though your car/truck may have the "Premium" sound system which says Harmon Kardin or Bose etc. the speakers are the cheapest pieces of crap in the sound system. Do your selves a favour & replace the speakers for a good quality set & release the sounds that your vehicle was meant to have. I swapped my OEM Toyota speakers for some Focal Flax Evo with a Focal iBUS 2.1 under seat sub. The car sounds a million times better than OEM. 😃😃

the video title says ( E90, E46, F30) but all I see is a F30. in the case of a F30, the screen is rather easily removed and replaced - it sits on top. For a E90, it depends on the accessority level - the E90 series were available with no display at all, or a small (about 7 inch) or a big (about 10 inch) one. That display is completely integrated into the dashboard, and it extremely well readable even in summer bright sunshine due it being an LCD screen. So to bring that functionality in, there is no screen needed, "just" an additional box which sits inbetween the screen and the main unit. I've seen such devices like nifty city. But not sure if they're controllable with the idrive controller. Additionally, with the E90, most have a Bluetooth intercom system already, so very interesting if that still works - since it uses the cars microphone it'll be the best option. The unit has a micro-SIM card slot - but I suppose, this isn't needed, because it uses the phones data connection? So... are there coming additional videos for E90 types (and E46?) or.. that's it?

OK, so becuase of this video I've got tempted and gave those a shot (actually two different ones) and unfortunately it looks like somebody is white labelling those and random companies just slap their own stickers on it and due to that those share common problems that are off putting for me: 1. This one is a deal breaker, but there is no integration with vehicle brightness adjustment. Yes you can go to menu and alter that, but it should be tangled with what vehicle is expecting from the screen ... there is a damn know next to the steering wheel that dimms whole instrument cluster and all the light in the car - which has NO AFFECT on those displays. And before you mention it - yes you can go to original menu and go for switching the screen off - however that just leaves the screen black ... and both that I've tried had a dramatic amount of backlight bleed that make unusable on dark B roads ... sorry, but that's just stupid. 2. car skip and rewind buttons don't work ... you get that from steering wheel knob, but that should allow me to navigate the stuff :/ 3. sound quality is just S** it falls way behind the bluetooth quality. Not to mention that sound is more akin to mono than stereo - and I confirmed that with playing track that clearly jumps vocals between channels ... and no, my aux input it not proken, I tested it directly from audio source and plays just perfect. And the built in equaliser is only 3 way, sorry but I'll compare it with MMI box that I've got in other bimmer, and not to mention sound quality being superior and stereo, MMI box has 10 way equaliser allowing to really negate any aux in kinks. 4. and admittingly I've not played around with it too much, the sound that comes from sat naw (while in car play) is not properly mixed with the music and it's barely noticeable - again, sorry but main selling point of carplay is that you can use waze and have speed cameras warning, or hazard warning ... with this display I nearly got done by camera. That's from F32 + harman, if it magically works for others, great, not for me. So this is my 2 pennies. Thanks for the content, but unfortunately the product is crap and I'll just go with OEM display not to hug a tree at night and mmi box to have a decent music quality.
