Talk to an expert on WhatsAppThe BMW X3 E83 came from the factory with a radio/multimedia system that, on most trims, does not include Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and has slow navigation that is expensive to update. The specific screen replaces it with a large, fast Android system with always up-to-date maps.
Because it is a screen specific to the BMW X3 E83, it fits the original slot with its custom frame and keeps the factory dashboard look and the steering wheel controls.
Step-by-step installation
It is a Plug & Play install you can do at home, without cutting wires:
- Carefully remove the trim and the original radio from your BMW X3 E83 (they come off with clips and screws).
- Connect the screen's specific harness to the car's factory socket, which already carries the power and the steering-wheel control signal.
- Fit the new screen into the slot with its custom frame.
- On start-up, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the GPS and the steering wheel controls are all ready to use.
