Aftermarket Android Head Unit For BMW Cars

Downright, do you know why you need an Android Head Unit for your BMW? BMW car owners debate this extensively whenever they happened to talk about the car system. However, both has its own advantages and setbacks. But, the question remains, which one weighs more? In common, if you love using your Android smartphone, then you will obviously like the android head unit for your BMW.

In the past decade, BMW’s idrive has improved remarkably in terms of performance and features. A few years back, many functions won’t work when paired with a smartphone. Relatively, it is because of the compatibility issues. Considerably, those issues were rectified largely and the latest BMW navigation DVD comes with increased compatibility with a wide range of smartphones.

However, the issue is not completely eradicated. Still, car owners face issues while using their androids connected to the car system. Awfully, BMW doesn’t offer the android auto. An Android head unit is the best option to enjoy the Android experience in your BMW.

Below are some of the reasons why an android head unit is better:

User Experience:

User Experience is the prime and foremost reason why many BMW car owners opt for an android head unit. Though idrive is trying hard to update it’s UI, it anyway lacks when compared with Android.

Concurrently, people who use android on a routine basis through their smartphones tend to find it better compared to idrive. Though idrive offers mobile office features and telephony, it feels great when it is accessed through the BMW head unit with the android.

Connectivity:

Using your smartphones while driving can become a disaster. Especially, when you want to access your favorite Android apps. Evidently, the aftermarket android head unit is a superior alternative for such issues. Astonishingly, Android BMW head unit is compatible with all the apps that your smartphone can operate.

Further, not all the available apps in the android can be accessed through idrive. After all, even if you can connect your smartphone with idrive, many apps won’t work as it does in your smartphone.

Better Screen:

While it is arguable that the latest screens of idrive offer more clarity, it is way more attractive in an android head unit. Considerably, BMW head units are more compact in nature. In addition, the android head units are much better than BMW navigation. Especially, when it comes to google apps and AV apps.

In fact, BMW head units comes with several other features which prove to be improving the quality of your car’s infotainment.

Customization:

You can customize the apps and features as per your requirement. On top of that, you can add additional equipment which syncs only with the android. What’s more? You get to customize the menu options, themes, and screen resolution.

Conclusion:

Undoubtedly, idrive is improved in terms of technology and UI. But still, android being a dedicated platform for communication and infotainment, idrive lacks big time put together the performance. As a matter of fact, many BMW car owners who purchased their cars very recently opt for Android head unit. Simply because they can precisely feel more comfortable using the android while driving their BMW.

What’s Making Auto Head Unit And Multimedia Navigation System So Important?

Are you really going for a car from the 90’s, with the regular CD player or a some useless screen that has nothing to add to your driving experience? We assume you’re not, no one is! According to a recent survey among car drivers, multimedia navigation systems and auto head units are an essential part of their requirements when browsing for a new vehicle to purchase. A majority of 56% respondents said that they are interested in a car that is technologically advanced.

Why are multimedia navigation systems essential?

You want to enjoy a ride without resorting to your phone much? Multimedia navigation systems are essential to keep your ride safe. Although there aren’t any solid numbers relating accidents to the presence or absence of a multimedia navigation system, research resorted to two rationales to prove that navigation systems and auto head units promote safety.

Decreased driving time

While navigation systems are designed to use the latest technology to guide you to the shorter route to your destinations. Of course, among a variation of features, this one saves the drivers time and leads them to spend less of it on the road, and consequently decreasing the chances of accidents.

Less time spent on the phone

when drivers set, adjust and connect their phones to their android head unit ahead of their ride, they are guaranteed to spend less time texting or talking on their phones. Nowadays, with the voice commands, one barely needs to hold their phone at all.

Why would you go for an aftermarket auto head unit?

Not all car manufacturers are investing in their car-play technology. Some are just known to focus on the power of their engines as this is their selling point. While auto head units are gaining more popularity, one can certainly still enjoy driving a powerful car that represents them without having to compromise the in-car technology.

On the other hand, some vehicles come with their own navigation systems that aren’t necessarily as good and efficient as aftermarket head units. In other words, you may want to replace the system of the car manufacturer’s with one that has better quality. It is possible, it happens!

How to select the right auto head unit?

First of all, you need to know your priorities. If you are looking for high quality, you might need to pay more. Meanwhile, if your sense of direction needs some assistance, you may want to emphasize on the accuracy of the navigation system. You can also think about the main features you are looking for.

Second of all, android head unit are much more popular nowadays compared with the old wince head unit. Android has a wider range of products, the old wince model may not be of the features you are seeking.

Lastly, make sure that your car and the head unit are compatible. Unlike the universal head unit, special auto head unit can fit your car perfectly. It also makes your dashboard with factory looking. Trying it out and checking with a specialist will save you the hassle of refunding the price of the head unit.

Mercedes Benz W204 Screen Upgrade – How to Switch Android Screen and Factory Menu

Most Mercedes Benz C-Class W204 comes with a 5.8″ small screen above the radio and air vents in the dashboard, some are with a large 7 inch screen. No matter which screen size your car has, you can upgrade the W204 screen with an aftermarket Android screen. The factory W204 radio keeps working after upgrade, just replaces the factory screen for installation.

The W204 screen upgrade with OEM looking, with both systems, old system and new Android system.

Due to the different resolution from factory screen, the switches settings from the main unit are different. Normally for Mercedes Benz W204 with factory small screen, the settings for switches of the main unit should be 2, 4 on, 1, 3, 5 are OFF.

About these switches:

Only turn it on when you test it with external 12V power, if you install the W204 Android screen in car, please remember to turn 1 to OFF before you connect the plugs.
If your car has small screen, you need to turn 2 to ON, so the Android screen can display factory menus normally. While if your W204 has 7 inch screen, 2 should be OFF.
Always should be OFF for 3, it’s the setting for another model, not for W204 model.
Regularly, if you turn 4 ON, you are able to switch from factory menu to Android menu after you activate and enter into factory aux mode. After you enter into aux mode, but the screen does not switch to Android menu, you can turn 4 to OFF, when the screen displays aux mode, then you can try to long press the BACK button or C button, so the screen will switch to Android menu.
If your car comes with factory reverse camera, then you can turn 5 to ON, so the screen will display factory camera image while reversing. If you need to install an aftermarket back up camera, then you need to keep the 5 to OFF.

If you order the Mercedes W204 Android head unit from us, we will confirm your car information with you and set the correct switches for your car before the shipment, so that you don’t need to set it again.

Overall, after installed the W204 screen upgrade, you can switch between the factory menu and new Android menu.

Correct settings: 2 ON, 4 ON
Factory menu switches to Android menu: just activate and enter into factory aux mode, the screen will switch automatically, if not, then turn OFF 4, then long press BACK button or C button to switch.
