Description

CarPlay MMI PRO is the next generation of our multimedia bridge that lets you connect your phone to your BMW or MINI either wirelessly or via cable. Fully integrated with the native iDrive display and controller, it feels and works just like OEM BMW Apple CarPlay. Now with even smoother software, new interface, and an HDMI port. 

Thanks to its user-friendly and instinctive interface, this CarPlay retrofit makes it easy to use many of your iPhone's apps in full screen on your BMW’s or MINI’s native dashboard screen (the screen is NOT included in the CarPlay MMI PRO kit). 


Having a host of apps at hand, you can choose whether you want to listen to your music or podcasts through Spotify, YouTube Music, or others, safely stay in touch with your family via WhatsApp or Messages, and always find the quickest routes via Google Maps or Waze without catching a ticket.  

Thanks to the additional BMW Android Auto support our upgrade also allows you to access all of your favorite smartphone apps as well. To control and switch between apps you can use the iDrive controller, Siri, or steering wheel buttons (only in compatible vehicles).

Please note that it is not possible to play audio from CarPlay or Android Auto apps and audio from native iDrive apps (including radio and navigation) at the same time.

Carplay MMI PRO

BimmerTech's CarPlay MMI PRO upgrade is compatible with 95% of E-Series, F-Series, G-Series BMWs, and MINIs with newer or older iDrive generations (e.g. CIC, ENTRY, ENTRYNAV, ENAVEVO, CHAMP2, NBT, NBT EVO ID4, NBT EVO ID5/ID6, etc.).

Watch Netflix, HBO, and More! 

Want something extra from your infotainment? The HDMI port of the CarPlay MMI PRO allows you to connect various video playback devices. Now you can access streaming services like Netflix, HBO, Prime Video, or YouTube. 

video playback devices


Simply plug in your Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV stick, or other digital media player (not included with the MMI PRO) and enjoy an episode of your favorite TV series when taking a break on your long drive. Turn your BMW into a mobile movie theater in that roadside parking lot! The HDMI port of MMI PRO also allows you to connect your laptop or a Nintendo Switch gaming console and display the image on your iDrive screen. 

Watch Netflix, HBO, and More!


Don’t have a streaming device? Get the Apple TV player from our add-on section and enjoy full compatibility. Apple TV purchased from BimmerTech is specially converted and ready for in-car use with the onboard power supply.

Apple TV

If you would like to connect something else or if you’re wondering what is the best way to plug something into your MMI using its HDMI port, we’ve got you covered. We offer several HDMI cables of different lengths and types (male-to-male or male-to-female), so you’ll easily find the right solution, regardless of what you need.


For Bluetooth remotes, control of your streaming device will work perfectly well even when it’s installed inside the dashboard. However, the IR-based remotes won’t function.


Access Phone Apps

This BMW CarPlay upgrade gives you direct access to many of your iPhone’s navigation, messaging and music apps, as well as other driver-focused apps in the categories of parking, EV charging, or quick food-ordering.

Wireless Capability

BimmerTech’s CarPlay for BMWs and MINIs lets you connect your iPhone wirelessly. It only takes one wireless pairing of your iPhone and CarPlay MMI PRO to help the MMI recognize your iPhone each time you get in your car and connect wirelessly, without you even having to remove your phone from your pocket or bag. When using BMW CarPlay you'll be able to answer calls just like with a Bluetooth hands-free connection.

CarPlay Wireless Capability

If you'd rather connect your iPhone with the use of cable, you are also free to do so. CarPlay MMI PRO supports both wired and wireless phone connections.

 

USB Multimedia & Charging Port 

Our BMW CarPlay solution comes with a USB port. It lets you charge your iPhone on longer drives, or you can use it for playing videos and music on  your iDrive Screen from a USB thumb drive.

CarPlay USB Multimedia and Charging Port


The MMI's USB port can also be used in the future for software updates. So, if you won't be using it for charging or multimedia playback - make sure to place it in an accessible location.


BMW CarPlay Full Screen Mode 

CarPlay MMI PRO lets you use all your favorite CarPlay-compatible iPhone apps on the original BMW display in full-screen. The retrofit's 1280x480 resolution for big screens and 800x480 resolution for small screens look great on all screen sizes.
 

BMW CarPlay Full Screen Mode


Note that in MINIs with a rounded screen, a small part of each corner of the CarPlay interface will be obscured when using full-screen mode.

 

Screen Mirroring

The Full-Screen mode also includes a Screen Mirroring option, which lets you cast the screen of your mobile device onto the BMW's or MINI’s display, and stream audio through the car speakers. This function is especially convenient if you want to stream a video from YouTube.

CarPlay Screen Mirroring option


iPhones mirror wirelessly, while Android phones require a cable connection.

Please note that mirroring of some apps or content using the Screen Mirroring feature may be blocked due to the copyright-holder's DRM. BimmerTech is not responsible for the continued compatibility of any third-party apps with CarPlay MMI PRO.

 

Easy Control With iDrive

To navigate the BMW CarPlay apps, you can use your factory microphone (if present) for Siri voice commands or the iDrive controller. In some vehicles there's also the option of control with steering wheel buttons, but keep in mind that it is dependent on your head unit version. Decode your VIN to see whether it will be enabled for your car.

Easy Control With iDrive


CarPlay MMI PRO isn’t compatible with touch function, however safely controlling the device with the steering wheel buttons, iDrive controller and Siri/Google Assistant still offers plenty of convenience.

 

Wireless Android Auto Support

The kit contains a Multimedia Interface (MMI) — a module that also adds Android Auto to your BMW or MINI. So if you have family members or friends with Android smartphones, connecting their devices will be a breeze too!

Wireless Android Auto Support


To enjoy BMW Android Auto wirelessly your phone has to support the wireless Android Auto. If it doesn't, you'll still be able to use the Android Auto via USB.

 

Integration With Front & Rear View Cameras

The MMI module makes it easy to add front and reversing cameras to your order for a much lower price. The front view camera can easily be activated by holding the Option button for 2 seconds. To exit camera mode, just press Back. It can also be set up to appear automatically for up to 20 seconds when shifting from Reverse to Drive.

MMI Pro integration with front and rear view cameras



High-quality Audio With An Equalizer

The audio output circuit in our BMW CarPlay upgrade has been specifically selected to squeeze all the quality we can out of the iDrive AUX input, providing great audio quality for music, streaming and calls. If your vehicle is not equipped with an AUX input in Media/Radio, we’ll have to code it. Enter your VIN for more details.

The MMI also has a built-in 8-band equalizer which allows adjusting the sound to your liking. Whether you like more bass and less treble, or the other way around, you can easily set it up in the MMI menu. It is a great feature especially if you don't have a multi-band Equalizer in your BMW iDrive system or MINI Connected. 

 

MINI Cooper CarPlay 

MINI owners – we didn’t forget about you! If your car lacks the original Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functions, our MINI Cooper CarPlay upgrade will add these functionalities even to your 2011+ make. Enter your VIN to check compatibility.

Installation

CarPlay MMI PRO retrofit for BMW and MINI Cooper is customized for each model individually due to the different configuration of every vehicle. However, no matter your car specs, our BMW CarPlay upgrade is always fully plug & play, doesn’t require any permanent modifications to your vehicle and thus is completely lease-friendly and doesn’t void your warranty.

Depending on your vehicle the installation of the kit may take from 2h up to 4h. 

You can also choose to install the upgrade by yourself or hand it to professional installers. Our precise PDF instructions, videos and dedicated technical support will make it easy for you to follow the process if you decide to DIY.  The PDF installation instructions appear in the personal account within 72 hours after the purchased product is shipped. 

To connect your external video playback device, simply plug in the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on the back of MMI PRO and connect the device’s power cable to the USB-C port of the MMI.
