BMW 5 Series CarPlay & Multimedia

The 5 Series embodies BMW's signature balance: driving pleasure and everyday efficiency. Our BMW 5 Series CarPlay and multimedia interfaces integrate with your E39, E60, or F10 to modernize the driving environment without betraying the iDrive spirit that has always defined this model.

From 309,00 € to 349,00 € depending on the finish.

The chassis code is on your vehicle registration document. It alone determines compatibility: two vehicles of the same model may not take the same parts depending on their year and phase.

Modernizing the 5 Series without compromising the driver-focused philosophy

The 5 Series is built around the driver: clear instrumentation, controls within reach, a sense of mastery. A CarPlay or Android Auto module extends this philosophy with today's tools: real-time navigation, audio streaming, dictated messages, all accessible from the central screen or the iDrive dial depending on the generation. The cockpit evolves; the spirit remains.

On the F10, integration connects directly to the original CIC or NBT interface. On earlier generations (E39, E60, and E61), the unit interfaces with the factory head unit while retaining the MFL steering wheel controls.

Which BMW 5 Series CarPlay and multimedia unit to choose based on your generation?

Compatibility depends primarily on the infotainment system installed at the factory. The E39 comes with a classic head unit and no iDrive screen; the E60 introduced the iDrive dial with a color screen; the F10 features a significantly more advanced interface. Each generation has its own architecture and therefore its own dedicated unit.

Between wired and wireless, the choice depends on your usage. Wired delivers optimal responsiveness; wireless simplifies daily commutes. Three references cover the E39, E60, E61, and F10 generations: note your chassis code in field D.2 of your registration document before ordering to avoid any incompatibility.

Does the CarPlay unit for the BMW 5 Series allow continued navigation through menus using the iDrive dial?

On generations equipped with iDrive (E60 and F10 in particular), compatible modules maintain navigation through CarPlay menus via the original dial. The ergonomics remain familiar: you enjoy mobile apps without giving up the driving comfort specific to the 5 Series.

30-day returns accepted if the module does not meet your expectations.
