Luxin - BMW Upgrade Guide
Still using your phone for navigation in a car that already has a screen?
Here's what most BMW owners are quietly upgrading - and why it takes less than 60 minutes.
Most BMW owners don't realise their car is already built for CarPlay. The screen is there. The hardware is there. The only thing missing is a small module that connects it all - wirelessly.
The real reason BMW owners are still using phone holders
BMW didn't include CarPlay in most models built before 2018, and Android Auto up until 2023. So owners ended up doing what everyone does - buying a phone holder, plugging in a cable every time they get in the car, and squinting at a small phone screen instead of the factory screen that's already built into their car.
- Phone holders everywhere Your 40,000 euro BMW looks like a taxi.
- Cables every single time Connect, charge, disconnect, repeat. The whole preparation with your phone before every drive.
- Small phone screen Multitasking with a small screen instead of a factory one. No ability for steering wheel or factory controls.
There's a better way - and it already fits your BMW
There's a plug and play module that connects directly to your BMW's existing wiring. No cutting, no coding, no modifications. It takes about 60 minutes for an average customer to install, and your factory screen runs full wireless CarPlay and Android Auto - exactly as if BMW included it from the factory.
How it works
Remove the existing connectors
Remove the existing power and video connectors from the BMW head unit and connect them to our provided harness. Takes under 5 minutes.
Connect the Luxin module
Connect the Luxin module in between - like a sandwich between the head unit and the screen. Everything you need is included.
Connect wirelessly forever
Your phone connects automatically every time you start the car. No cables, no holders, no compromise.
What you get
Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto
Full integration on your factory screen with screen mirroring. Watch content, videos or movies while driving using AirPlay or AutoLink - both supported by the module.
60-minute install
Enjoy a simple straightforward installation without any coding, cutting wires, rewiring original parts or anything - just like putting your phone to charge. No permanent modifications are done during install.
Factory screen kept
Your original BMW display - no matter smaller or bigger, the module supports both. Keep one of the most valuable parts of your interior intact. No cheap aftermarket screens or head unit changes - everything stays in your current setup.
All BMW functions intact
Original iDrive and all its features, head-up display, audio and microphone, parking sensors and cameras - everything remaining as is. Switch to the original system any time by holding the menu button for 2 seconds. Enjoy original Bluetooth for sound without any quality loss.
