Product Description

The MR12Volt MOST Bus CarPlay & Android Auto Interface is a modern infotainment upgrade for BMW vehicles equipped with the CIC iDrive system. Designed to integrate with the factory setup, it adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality while retaining OEM controls, factory audio quality and a clean original interior appearance.

Supporting both wireless and wired CarPlay / Android Auto, the interface gives easy access to navigation, music, calls and compatible apps through the vehicle’s existing display. The factory iDrive controller can be used to navigate the menus, helping maintain the familiar BMW user experience.

The system also supports the vehicle’s OEM microphone, allowing calls and voice commands to work through the factory microphone setup. Audio is transmitted through the MOST Bus digital audio system, avoiding the signal loss often associated with AUX-based solutions.

Installation is designed to be plug and play, with no coding or permanent modification required on compatible vehicles. This makes the MR12Volt interface a strong upgrade for BMW owners who want modern smartphone connectivity without compromising factory functionality.
