My lovely panda movil didn't have rear camera and CarPlay, so I found a person from Hong Kong that post on Instagram "carlinkit" I bough it from "ali express" I was little afraid at beginning thinking was a bad transaction but I got to talk to "YU" a girl that sell the stuff, so normally here I found same module for over a garnd$$$ this module cost me $258 plus tax, is a plug and play no coding required, just a bit of lack of install institutional, but I'm all about to open the car and taking it apart so I did my Slef now my baby is complete I could add front camera, mirror my phone on the screen and much more I'm a happy camper, only thing camera they sell is for another bmw didn't fit on my i3 so I made it fit ( no as nice as I wanted) but for now it works like a charm I did order a new camera with same plug to make I look legit, even though they told me rear camera won't fit I got it anyway just to be sure wiring was good with module CarPlay

Got everything installed and it's working well. I have a question on mirroring. We're you able to display mirroring in full screen? Mine is cutoff about half and inch on both sides. I have the 10.25" screen. Everything else like Android auto is in fullscreen. Also, what backup camera did you end up getting? Do you have a link?

No she offer but she told me that's no the camera for the car but still I got it to made the connection and no need to do more work with taking the car apart twice I found another camera more nice looking in eBay but plug is different and I need to rerun the wire but I may installed to front view camera for parking and keep the back camera as it is the image is HD. No joke

I have a similar (not the same) interface in my i3. I'm generally satisfied with mine but the resolution could be better and a "cold" start takes for about one minute.
How about this one: - Is the resolution good (google maps as sharp as original BMW navi)? - How quickly does it start after sitting for a longer time? |

No sure but this was only option I found under $300 other unit sell here that they x CSS all prime is $600 just for back up camera and if I wanted the CarPlay alone is $900 so do the math if I wanted both $$$$ this has all I wanted back up camera, CarPlay, and mirror the phone on screen

Be careful when ordering the Carlinkit because only the specific BMW I3 version will work. I made a mistake of searching Amazon for BMW I3 Carplay, the Carlinkit version came up and was stated for BMW to 2016 with NBT. However when it arrived it did not have the extra long cable to allow glove box placement.
