Aftermarket GPS Navigation Head Unit is specially designed to upgrade BMW X3(F25)/X4(F26) 2010-2017 factory LCD screen unit(or storage box on the dashboard). It has the same plug and harness as the factory head unit, which is plug-and-play. This head unit only replaces the original LCD screen unit and retains the factory FM/CD unit, so the original BMW car computer/CD/FM/AM/Sirius/XM will still work as before.

How do I know what system it is on my BMW?
Our product fits this dashboard:
NOTE, if your car equips with an NBT system, then the LVDS behind the original screen is 6 pins. If your car equips with a CIC system, then the LVDS plug may be 4 pins or 6 pins. You must remove the original screen to check if it is 4 pin or 6 pins. The products are totally different, if you choose the wrong LVDS connector style, you will get the wrong product.
If you do not know how to verify the compatibility, please send photos of the existing dashboard with the home menu on the screen, VIN of your car and the LVDS connector behind the existing screen to info@sigmacarstereo.com, we will help you to check.
BMW X3 F25 2016-2018 has EVO ID5/ and our product is compatible with EVO system as well.
