BMW i3 – RETROFIT APPLE CARPLAY & ANDROID AUTO

BMW i3 Retrofit: Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Without Changing the Factory Look

The BMW i3 was ahead of its time in terms of design and innovation. But when it comes to infotainment and connectivity, many drivers find themselves wishing for a more modern, wireless experience. At Stephanis Audio, we’ve made that possible – without compromising the car’s factory aesthetics or functionality.

Modern Tech Meets BMW Precision

We recently upgraded a BMW i3 with a wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit kit, designed specifically to integrate seamlessly with the original BMW system. This means you get all the benefits of modern smartphone connectivity – navigation, music streaming, hands-free calls, and voice commands – while keeping the familiar controls and factory screen.

OEM-Like Integration

What makes this retrofit unique is its compatibility with the BMW iDrive system. Unlike universal solutions that require replacing or bypassing original components, our kit works directly with:

  • The factory Central Information Display (CID)

  • The iDrive rotary controller

  • The OEM steering wheel controls

  • The factory sound system

You can continue to use your steering wheel buttons to accept or reject calls, adjust volume, activate Siri or Google Assistant, and navigate menus – just as you would with the original system.

No Dashboard Modifications Needed

The retrofit is designed to be completely non-invasive. There’s no need to cut wires, replace the screen, or alter the dashboard layout. The result is a clean, factory-finish look – with wireless functionality added discreetly in the background.

Wireless Freedom – Every Time You Drive

With wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, your phone connects automatically when you start the car. No more plugging in cables – just get in, drive, and stay connected.

  • Use Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps with live traffic

  • Stream from your favorite apps like Spotify, Deezer, or YouTube Music

  • Make and receive hands-free calls

  • Use voice commands with Siri or Google Assistant
