E92 iDrive android conversion opinions needed

Christian_E90 · 06-23-2019, 01:21 PM

Hey guys, so I saw a Video on YouTube showing the iDrive system conversion to the 8.1 android head unit. They really aren't that expensive and I like a lot of the features that it has to offer. However I couldn't really find that many reviews on the Internet of which one to get and how reliable they are. Does anyone here have any experience with them and would you recommend it. I like the updated look and sleekness of it but am just not sure what I should do yet. Any opinions are appreciated!! Thanks

If it's the Eonon Conversion; I have it currently in my non-iDrive, Logic 7 07 e92. It works well, but there are a few versions you can get, some are newer with higher android OS. I would recommend it for non-i-drive folks, however, are you replacing the iDrive Module? or the control panel below?

I would be replacing the factory idrive (ccc). I like the idea of integrated bluetooth, crisp display, and all the other bells and whistles

If you already have Nav/Idrive most of the Units for that setup
piggyback off a working Nav/Idrive using the aux for sound Input.
If you pull out an OEM idrive you must find out if you can drive the
screen in the center hump.
A lot of the Andriod units people talk about here are made for cars
with no Nav/idrive to begin with and no screen in the middle of the
dash.
