    Can you recommend a screen upgrade and Android / Carplay mod?

    I want to upgrade my 2018 BMW i3 BEV with a larger screen and Android module. Can you recommend one? I've seen some modules under $200 on eBay but not sure if they're what I need. Thanks! Ketchup

    GPS is abyssmal...can I use Android Auto

    My wife's car comes with Android Auto and I love it. The BMW GPS is lacking by comparison. Is there a way to get Android Auto in this car? Mind you I don't hate on everything that the entertainment system has and would like to keep some functionality. Thanks!

    2018 Deka World Questions
