Features Detailed
Wireless and USB connection for Android Auto
  • Simply connect your Android phone either wirelessly or with the use of USB cable to our MMI Prime and start using Android Auto while charging your phone. To enjoy 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 - just make sure you have the Android Auto app installed. 
    • It's possible to use Android Auto wirelessly with any of the following phones:
      Phone Make and ModelAndroid Version
      Pixel or Pixel XLAndroid 8.0 or higher
      Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XLAndroid 8.0 or higher
      Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XLAndroid 8.0 or higher
      Pixel 4 or Pixel 4 XLAndroid 10.0 or higher
      Nexus 5X or 6PAndroid 8.0 or higher
      Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8+Android 9.0 or higher
      Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9+Android 9.0 or higher
      Samsung Galaxy S10 or S10+Android 9.0 or higher
      Samsung Note 8, Note 9 and Note 10Android 9.0 or higher
USB connection for Android Screen Mirroring
  • When using Android Auto you’ll be able to answer calls just like with a Bluetooth hands-free connection. For Screen Mirroring you’ll need to use the Android Autolink app.
USB port for multimedia and charging
  • The USB port can also be used for playing videos and music files on your iDrive Screen from a USB thumb drive.
    What’s more it’s important for the future software updates.  So, if you won't be using it to enjoy multimedia - make sure to place it in an accessible location.
Full-Screen Mode
  • Android Auto MMI Prime lets you use your favorite Android Auto apps on the original BMW display in full-screen. The retrofit's 1280x480 resolution for big screens and 800x480 resolution for small screens look just great on all screen sizes.

    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.

    The Full-Screen mode also includes a Screen Mirroring option, which lets you cast the screen of your mobile device onto the BMW’s display, and stream audio through the car speakers with the help of the Android Autolink app.

    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 Android Auto MMI Prime.
Easy control with iDrive
  • To navigate the Android Auto apps, you can use Google Assistant or the iDrive controller.
Supports wireless CarPlay for iPhones
  • The kit contains a Multimedia Interface (MMI) — a module that also adds CarPlay to your BMW. So if you have family members or friends with iPhones, connecting their devices will be a breeze too! Following their preferences, they’ll be able to connect their iPhones with the use of USB or wirelessly.
Ready for integrating Front and Rear View Cameras
  • TThe MMI module makes it easy to add a front and reversing cameras to your order for a much lower price. The front view camera can be activated by holding the Option button for 2 seconds. To exit the camera mode, just press Back. It can also be set up to appear automatically on the screen for up to 20 seconds when the gear is shifted from Reverse to Drive.
High quality audio with an equalizer
  • The audio output circuit in the Android Auto MMI Prime has been specifically selected to squeeze all the quality we can out of the iDrive AUX input, providing great audio quality for music and streaming. Something that’s also upgraded in our MMI Prime for CIC is the enhanced quality of phone calls — we’ve managed to reduce reverberation for the comfort of clear and undisturbed conversations.

    The MMI also has a built-in 8-band equalizer. It is a great feature for adjusting the sound in your BMW especially if you don't have a multi-band Equalizer in your iDrive system. 

    The Android Auto MMI Prime retrofit requires the phone to be connected to the MMI’s USB port, unless using one of the phones listed above.
    • Provides audio playback through your BMW's AUX port
    • BimmerTech is not able to verify whether your phone is compatible with the Android Auto app. It is strongly advised to confirm compatibility before purchase. According to Android Auto you can use the app with an Android phone running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and up with a data plan. For best performance, the Android Auto team recommends Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and up. You can check your phone’s software version by looking at the About Device section under Settings.
    • If the Android Auto app isn’t available in your Google Play account due to the regional limitations, you can download the .apk file from an alternative source. Please note that Google does not take responsibility for any damage to your phone or loss of data that may result from using unknown apps.

Note: Vehicle must be equipped with AUX/USB, dependent on the vehicle, to allow sound output. AUX/USB, dependent on the vehicle, will need to be selected on the vehicle's head unit for sound to be transmitted when in Carplay/Android Auto mode.
