CarPlay car stereo for BMW X1 F48
The CarPlay car stereo for the BMW X1 F48 was supposed to replace the stock display. While the stock screen in this BMW seems large enough, and even has a good-quality rearview camera, the manufacturer still lacked functionality. It’s not competitive with the car stereos currently being offered by Chinese manufacturers.
Installing a CarPlay car stereo for a BMW X1 F48 typically takes half a day. For those with a rearview camera, it takes up to one business day. We provide a warranty on all work and equipment. We perform installation carefully and professionally.

We try to create both short and long videos about our installations. The CarPlay car stereo for the BMW X1 F48 is no exception; for this small project, we created a short video called “Shorts.” These short videos allow you to evaluate the results and decide for yourself whether you’re ready to upgrade your car’s multimedia system.
As you can see in the photo below, the factory menu functions unchanged after replacing the stock screen. All factory functions are retained, but additional features have been added. The factory rearview camera remains operational—the feed from the camera is now displayed on the new radio’s screen. Everything is controlled with the joystick, just as before the replacement—including switching from the stock menu to the Android menu, from where CarPlay launches.
