They're really hard to come by! Like literally the best and most unexpected place I found them was Facebook market place but due to a sale these second hand prices aren't far off the clearence prices direct from the manufacturer. So, good news Xtrons have a big sale on a huge 9" unit with the PX5 Octa-Core processor, 4GB DDR3 and 32GB ROM which is about the best specced unit can buy and the big screen just looks awesome and it's for a bargain of £239.99 https://xtrons.co.uk/bmw-3-series-an...8-0-pe9890bipl blueh88 has one and put some pics up which can be seen here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/mja5yWQnmwhTNnmq5 And having the PX5 processor there's a lot of support on XDA! Malasyk and Hal9k both have good rooted 8.0 ROMS and have already done a Android 8 to Android 9 upgrade which manufacturers like xtrons, joying and Eonon tend not to do (mainly because they use the Android version as a marketing strategy so they'd lose sales) Xtrons are also UK based, so next day free delivery I ordered mine late Thursday so Ive had to wait it out as mine won't come till tomorrow lol |

And looking online it seems xtrons and Eonon stock replacement screens so it's worth sending them an email as well Last edited by MrSweet1991; 11-16-2019 at 02:42 AM.. |

It comes with all wiring looms, external mic and apple car play dongle. Mine is slightly different to the one I have sent, mine has the android 9.0 system and a couple more hardware upgrades. I have the pro nav CCC system on my E90 330D and this is meant to be plug in and play (we will see ) and all functions of idrive work as normal until you hold menu down for two seconds and it will bring up the “tablet” side of things. $325 all in including shipping and custom fees which I didn’t think was too bad compared to what some UK companies are selling similar spec units for. The proof will be in the pudding though and I will update with a thread once it’s been fitted. It should be arriving in the next 5 days. |

Just a quick update Hal9k released a Rooted Android 9 and it was so easy!
It's not required but he's released his own "Mod Installer Pro" for just over £8 which allows you to install a custom recovery for either Android 6, 8 or 9.when the unit boots into the newly installed recovery you can then insert a Fat32 USB stick and install Hal9k's Rooted Android 9. If you don't want to buy the Mod Installer Pro you simply use the SD card slot and do it manually and for free (but of course you'll need to buy an SD card if you don't already have one) Hal9k's official Mod Installer Pro Link And this YouTube video has the Google Drive link to Hal9k's Rooted Android 9 OS. Remember, we have the PX5 CPU https://youtu.be/VrRkga1hwLc |
