Hifimax is my choice for bmw aftermarket carplay box. It is budget friendly but has full functions like anyone else.
Paul is friendly and helpful. It is my 2nd buy and install, so it went pretty well and I didnt bother Paul again. But I know he will be there if I am stuck.
I would recommand to anyone is looking for carplay box for your bimmer.

Responsive seller and a good solid product. Thank you
Bradley M.
Much better than the alternative offerings from other companies. This is the only NBT Evo device I have found with audio transmitted over Bluetooth rather than Aux
Johannes T.
The Box works perfectly so far. I can connect completeley without wires, i didnt even need to connect the Aus cable as the audio gets streamed directly to the car via the phone.
Paweł B.
Works great. Działa bardzo dobrze :)

Device conform to the description. Installation with the video & Paul's support made my experience good! Today it works perfectly for my Iphone.
George H.
Works excellent and brought the car to ten years newer!
Kevin M.
Installing the device was pretty straight forward, it's pretty much plug and play. And love the fact that it just connects automatically when I turn on the car. Just a note when you do get it be sure to check out the setup option and turn down the volume for alerts.

Third time that I’m installing MMI box , first with Hifimax :
Good quality, good price, good instructions and communication if there’s a fourth time it will be for sure with them!
Just a remark, I never could make mirroring working but doesn’t matter, CarPlay is way enough !
Luis A.
Great service and shipping. The device works pretty well
Luis A.
This module works amazing!
I can use the OG Bluetooth and Microphone with Wireless Android Auto.
Also great seller communication, and shipping, thanks Charlie.

This carplay box is great. I did not expect it to be so good and have a lot of GOOD settings to have it working with your install. I have used other carplay devices for BMW and none of them have been as good as this one. Paul was great, as soon as I ordered he let me know that I ordered during a holiday and asked if I wanted to keep my order in and wait, Thank you Paul. The instructions and videos were also amazing. I was worried about the shipping time, however it took less than a week to get to the states. I would highly recommend it.
Simon R.
I'm delighted to share my positive experience with the CarPlay device from Hifimax. It has seamlessly enhanced my BMW X3, providing a flawless integration that exceeded my expectations. Moreover, Mr. Paul's support was exceptional, demonstrating a commitment to customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Hifimax for their quality products and outstanding customer service.

I am not much of an installer, but with the support from Paul at WIFI Max I was able to install Apple Carplay on my first attempt. This product is very well designed and relatively easy to install if you follow the directions. I know I drove Paul crazy last night, because he had to explain several steps more than once, and provided very good videos. I would recommend this product to anyone. Thank you, Paul, for sticking with me through this install!

bought this for a 2014 BMW 535XD. Works well. Followed the install that I found on a few YouTube Videos. The install was very straightforward. Only issue I ran into was the blue connection cable on the back of the AC fan, radio controller button. I couldn't get a solid connection after reconnecting everything. As I read in some of the forums, I used some WD-40 electrical connector cleaner spray (not regular WD-40) and that resolved the connection issue. Everything works fine now.
Harold R.
Looks perfect. Love it.
Robert J.
Works as advertised. Try not to unplug the airbag module when installing.
PAUL
It works. There are no specific directions for each make/model of car so You have to know your own car and cannot be a rookie to these types of installs. .
Mika L.
I ordered a carplay interface and a back-up camera for a bmw f10. When I asked for help they provided me with a video on how to connect it. Everything works nicely and the support from hifimaxnavi is very good.
Aleksei
Awesome product. Works great and fast as genuine Apple CarPlay. Very easy installation.
Alex B.
Awesome product. Works great and fast as genuine Apple CarPlay. Very easy installation.

Installed on my 2011 bmw 3 series. Make sure you have a few hours set aside for install. A few setbacks that I had were where to put the module box and how to connect the mic. The module box is in my glove box. I found no other place to put it. And the mic in my car you have to remove the headliner slightly to access it which took up some time.
After the install process you'll be very happy with the result of the wireless CarPlay.
Brian L.
Works great, very happy with it especially for the price. 2009 328xi CiC factory headunit.
Lawrence L.
Great video instructions came with the product and made the install easy. Now my 2011 BMW has CarPlay and it’s like a brand new vehicle. Thank you!
AKINYEMI A.
This is an awesome product.... its surpass my expectation !!!
Patrick M.
Exceeded our expectations! Our 2018 BMW X1 is so much more enjoyable with Apple Carplay. We opted for wireless and don't regret it (although wired would've been fine). And the original 6.5" screen worked extremely well. We had thought a screen upgrade might be necessary, but definitely not so. Paul's video instruction and feedback before the shipment arrival made a huge difference and made the installation easy. Very happy and highly recommended the product.
Brad L.
Works fantastic don’t know how I lived without it. Install easy
Barry O.
Astounding piece of kit. This is a *must have* for any BMW owners without Carplay or with older non-navigation systems. About an hour to install in my 2013 F34 and well worth the time and effort. Did the NBT version as my car had one of those odd hybrid systems with old CIC type menus, but NBT connectors. Comms from Paul when selecting this option were great - really helped pick the right system. So pleased to finally have this feature in my car - really brings it right up to date. Oh and finally the voice control button works on my steering wheel too!
Magnus J.
Fast delivery and works grate
Highly recommend
OKeve B.
This is a must have. Worth every penny and a very instrumental addition to my already great car. Very easy install almost spent $400 to get it done professionally but glad I chose to get it done with my girlfriend in a about 2 hours on a day off. Must have. Couple quirks but they can be lived with.
Redi H.
So far its been great. Easy set up and very good responsiveness. Would recommend.
Salman A.
It’s basically functioning as advertised however the installation is a bit hard as the space is limited as the harness and system is big and not easily can fit behind the OEM system. I had to squeeze everything behind and this might affect some wires and break them over time.
Dorina B.
Bought my interface for my 2017 BMW x3. My husband looked at me with a concerned look when I told him I would try and install myself. Given the fact that I know very little about cars, mechanics and absolutely nothing about stereo systems I understood his concern. I followed the video and instructions and it took me about one hour total to install and get working. I was so proud of myself and Im the happiest ever with this product . Great dealing with Paul and this company. IF you are considering buying this .. dont hesitate.
Selim E.
I just installed it on my 2014 X3 with the NBT system. Everything is working fine so far. Loving the CarPlay. It's now my main source for music, radio, navigation and phone. I see no use in the OEM system anymore. The new kit is just always on and running in the background even when you exit. There are some setting adjustments required to optimize it. For example turning off the OEM Bluetooth so the phone doesn't keep giving you options for the output source. And a few microphone and volume adjustments.
My X3 had no space for the new kit behind the OEM unit. The cables and new connectors barely fit there. Had to mount the kit behind the screen and run all the wires vertically between the vents. I mounted the antenna to the plastic frame above the OEM unit. I also ran the USB cable down through the center console into the armrest box with an extension and flush mount USB adaptor. It gave it a nice integrated look.

Buena comunicación con el vendedor, envío rápido y total compatibilidad con mi coche. Recomendable 100%
Brian S.
Works Great, very happy with it!
Harald E.
Good description & how-to videos - check everything twice before re-assembly (placed the unit behind the CIC screen).
Darshan P.
Amazing product and Support
Thank you very much
Ümit B.
Super product! Thank you
Jack C.
First off I received this in one week
I installed it in a 2012 E92 with a CIC head unit
Had too trim the head unit bracket on each side to accommodate the extra wires was able to install front and rear cameras
When I powdered it up it worked as advertised
Don't waste your time on the one that costs twice as much
Paul was very responsive to email regarding this product
I would highly recommend this to anyone
Jorge R.
Install was moderate following the video installation guide all plug and play! Works great with factory radio !
Wai L.
Very good stuff and easy to install.
Jacob S.
Installed the retrofit CIC kit on my 2013 650i, install was straight forward with the guidance of Paul. My unit initially had a restart issue but Paul’s team got me a new firmware update within hours of my email and that fixed my issue. Very happy with the unit and the companies customer service…A+

molto bene sei seguito fino alla spedizione che avviene dopo aver confermato il tutto
Lasse G.
Works great right out of the box. Great help to Get the right type for my car. I recommend it !
Edward B.
Great deal and fast shipping.
Kyle E.
Definitely recommend this product for anyone. I had a couple issues getting the unit to work 100% but Paul was very helpful with making sure my carplay unit was working 100%. Now that I have Apple Carplay, I want to drive just so I can use the unit in the car!

El envío llegó dentro del plazo, el aparato EVO, funciona correctamente, aun estoy en fase de pruebas, pero tengo algun problema con el bluetooth, se conecta solo y hace que se cierre la aplicación que tenga abierta en ese momento. Tengo que averiguar si es por culpa del aparato o de mi teléfono, es un Pixel 4a. Yo solo uso Android auto, asi que mi experiencia con Carplay es nula. El montaje es sencillo si ya has desmontado alguna vez el salpicadero. Entra perfectamente debajo del hueco que hay bajo la radio. Para los modelos que no tienen toma auxiliar 3,5 como el mio, va perfecto el adaptador por usb, así que de momento y a falta de acabar de trastear todas las funciones, estoy bastante contento.
Sebastien M.
Excellent service after sale !
He answered all my messages because I got few problem during the installation but it’s all my fault that’s my first installation everything work well now .
And I love the product with my original screen .
Taegh S.
Excellent product, fast delivery to California. Would 100% put it on my other bmws

Install was 'somewhat' straight forward. None of the directions showed exactly where to mount the unit, and how to mount it. After installing, it was rattling against some metal fram, so I took apart the dash again, and place 3M double sided tape where the 'box' met metal.
Not a really strong mount, but got rid of the rattling. The hardest part of the install, was exactly where to place unit, and the routing of the wires such that they don't rub up against anything else. Specifically the wire that goes to the screen, has a relatively sharp bend, was concerned about that. Other than that, I'm using Android Auto with Pixel 3, and it works wirelessly which is what I wanted. Have had some issues with talking on the phone, but that seems more of a software problem, that I'm trying to work out. Autodims at night, backup camera works so definitely worth the price, and looks good.
Emanuel C.
Nice unit does everything what it is supose to do, Switches to oem pdcno Problem, response is also very good
Mariela A.
I bought this only for Waze so I don’t have to hold my phone while driving and looking out for cops (I like to press the gas pedal a little). The product is really cool and easy to use once installed. I ignored the installation instructions about 15 minutes in as they were not clear at all, but I figured it out. Also, the mirroring with my iPhone doesn’t seem to work, but whatever. I would recommend this.
Nicholas S.
Great product would recommend to anyone that prefers CarPlay to factory Bluetooth it works great and does it exactly as advertised. I have a 2015 528i and I’m all honesty the sound quality is equal if not better
Nicholas S.
I was worried about the quality but man this unit performs so well and it was easy to install I didn’t even have to plug in the AUX shipping was slow but was worth the wait
Nan W.
Paul is amazing on supporting me to fit this unit. My car is x3 my12 F25. It works seamlessly! Really worth the money!
Gaz A.
Got the kit in the mail very quickly.
Installed it immediately on my 2011 535. Followed the instructions and got the MMI box to work right away.
It took about one hour and a half to get it all installed and running.
I’m very satisfied with the result and the device.
Gave my car a much needed upgrade.
Robert R.
Easy instructions and installation process. I love it and it works perfectly. Great customer service.
Steffen F.
Installation was pretty straight forward, however it is a challenge to do the cable management. System works perfectly, however it causes the phone to heat up quite severely which results in connectivity problems when it’s too hot. Driving a convertible with no aircon running while driving open does make it an issue vor me. With the aircon directly aimed at the phone, it works fine
Mark H.
Works perfectly, great bit of kit.
Simon B.
Perfect upgrade for my 2012 F10 CIC system 5 Series BMW. Awesome service and communication from Paul at Hifimax. Arrived perfectly packed and an easy fit to vehicle. Has brought my car bang up to date.
Leo
Installed this on my 2014 BMW 335i with NBT head unit with OEM navigation... was very pleased with the product and the price... it took me about 2hrs to install the system, had to take out my glove compartment to put the unit on the empty cavity in between the radio and glove compartment... I just follow the diagram for the dip switches and had to tidy up the excess wires... thanks to the install video and some other videos I have watch that guide me through the process... the unit is working perfectly... easy to pair your phone... steering wheel button and factory mic works great... it’s just plug and play for my end I didn’t have to connect anything else other than transferring the optic cable from the oem wiring harness to the new one... I don’t really need to connect the usb but I did it anyways just in case I want to use it... audio wise was good I have Harmon kardon on my car, the sound is good... as the other review says only thing you giving up is the audio equalizer... can’t really complain about the unit it works great for me and the price is really good compare to bimmertech... can’t wait to test it out on a long road trip...
Scott
Installed this in my 2015 428 with NBT head unit w factory navigation... Watched a few videos to get confident on the install steps...no issues, but took me a few hours working slowly through it... needed to do the glove box removal to get to the cavity between. Honestly, I could not have gotten the wire pack pushed down behind the head unit otherwise. Looks great! Works great! Toggles over almost instantly to the rear view camera in reverse, and then goes back to Carplay display in Drive once rolling forward few yards...maybe a second or two longer than it used to. Siri integration to dictate text works perfect using the factory mic via the button on the steering wheel. Receiving calls also works nicely showing the iphone address book photo of the caller with ability to answer via the phone button on the steering wheel. Very pleased at a fraction of the price of the premium priced one and I don't think I gave anything up besides maybe an audio equalizer that seems unnecessary w the BMW Harmon Kardon quality audio. Just makes the display look so much more modern, and enhances the drive experience. Looking forward to my next long road trip.
Ahmed A.
Perfect! Works great and looks amazing.
J. Albert R.
works as advertised . the installation on my 2016. BMW X-3 was not difficult at all . highly recommended !
Benjamin M.
Bought this hoping that I didn't have to go the Bimmertech route ($650) and thought the price of $250 was worth the gamble. The MMI box itself looks identical to the Bimmertech and it appears to be identical! The wires were all plug and play and everything worked great. Mine was a Harmon lardon system so also required to move the optical wires from the original wiring harness connector to the hifimax connector. So far I've tested both wired and wireless android auto and it works great. The idrive buttons and steering wheel buttons work very well. Occasionally the interface is just slightly laggy but overall is great. The sound quality is good and it's relatively easy to install. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to add android auto.
Conor M.
Absolutely amazing. The customer service from Paul was perfect. The system works like a charm. If you are experienced with auto stereo installs, it is quite easy. I could not be happier with this product, especially at this price. Thank you so much HifiMax, you have made my 2015 M235i compatible with 2020 technology! And at half the price of bimmertech mmi prime!
Buron
it works very well, short shipping time, serious seller! I recommend !!
Schraa
Everything works fine! Many thanks to the seller for this product.
