Installation Instructions - BMW F10 CarPlay MMI Prime
Introduction
Thank you for making a purchase from BimmerTech! The CarPlay retrofit is DIY friendly, but if you’re
not fond of working on your car, don’t worry. You can always take your kit along with these installation
instructions to one of our recommended installers:

or to any other professional installer in your area. If you will be handing the installation over to a shop
from outside our recommended list ideally it should specialize in BMW vehicles.
If you will be installing the kit by yourself then it is recommended to do so in a clean, spacious, well lit
and climate-controlled garage without pressing time constraints. It’s also possible to perform the
installation in a driveway or a parking lot if you prepare the correct tools and the weather is
appropriate.
Installation requires disassembly of various trim pieces, so it’s best to take your time, be gentle,
careful and diligent in keeping track of which screw and clip came from where in order to reinstall the
parts correctly. Make sure to test the device's operation before final reassembly.
Please read the instructions before starting the installation. Also, make sure to have a look at the
below installation videos.
