BMW screen upgrades are not normal stereo installs
Many BMW screen upgrades integrate with the factory iDrive system instead of replacing the entire radio.
That means the installer has to understand display switching, audio routing, controller behavior and how the aftermarket screen works alongside the original BMW system.
Original BMW features retained where supported
A properly matched kit can retain access to original BMW menus, iDrive controls and factory vehicle settings where supported.
This should be verified from the vehicle photos and kit details before booking, especially on vehicles with premium audio or different iDrive versions.
Photos needed for an accurate quote
Send the BMW model, year, dashboard screen photo, controller photo and a photo or link of the screen kit.
If you do not know the exact series or trim, dashboard and menu photos can help identify the setup.
