Android Head Unit

Hi Guys,

Recently got my hands on an E60 and now looking to add an Android head unit. Can anyone recommend any from Aliexpress. I have a CCC system and no Aux cable.

Thanks

Got a unit form AliExpress, and got it installed! 👍🏼

Just one question, I got a reverse camera, boot handle style. It seems the connection plug are different to the stock. Does anyone know if there’s an adapter, I’ll try to include pictures.

I think the black connector is for the trunk button, and the other should be for power to the camera. Most of the android (v10+) of the head units will provide constant power, and switch the input when it detects it through OBD (or that's what I was told by one of the vendors). This is also how they can use the camera for the "DVR" function...

Just installed an Android head unit myself the other day in my 528 ... this will answer pretty much every question you have:
