F20 upgrade to Carplay

Hi

New here and first post to this forum. I've tried hard using the search as assumed this must have been covered lots here but couldn't find a definitive page, feel free to point me towards one if I've missed it.

Recently acquired 2015 F20 and looking to upgrade the head unit to accommodate carplay / phone mirroring. Unsure whether to do the whole screen replace or just MMI box. Are there options that allow for uprated audio too?

Don't mind paying for a decent unit - seen a lot Temu / ebay options but happy to spend more and didn't know what to avoid. Any supplier recommendations really welcomed.

Cheers

Dan

    Hi Dan

    With my E70 I fitted an Android Screen, two reasons (a) the OEM screen had missing pixels (b) the Nav system was way way out of date cost was around the same as a Nav upgrade from BMW ? I am very happy with it. It allows Android Auto/CarPlay and Mirroring plus a better range of Nav programs from Google Maps, Wayz (free) to Tom Tom. Then of course there are all the other Apps while I still have all the original BMW system available if I want it selectable through i Drive

    My neighbour uses an MMI box in his 3 series and it works really well

    So I guess it is your choice
