Hello everyone! Today, I'm excited to share a detailed guide on how to upgrade the multimedia system of a 2010 BMW 7 series, transforming it into a modern marvel with enhanced features like wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, and much more.
Step 1: Dismantling the Original System
Firstly, let’s remove the original equipment. Begin by prying open the vent panel using appropriate tools. Carefully disconnect the plugs at the back of the panel. Next, with a screwdriver, remove the two screws holding the original button panel and disconnect the plugs there as well.
Proceed to remove the four screws that secure the main unit and pull it out. Make sure to disconnect the main power plug and the original fiber optic plug at the back. Then, unscrew the two screws that are holding the original screen, take it down, and disconnect the plugs at the back. With that, the dismantling part is done, and your setup should be clear of the old system.
Step 2: Installing the New Car Multimedia Machine
Now comes the exciting part—installing the new system! Start by installing the new base and securely routing the power cable from the main unit's position through the air vent to where the screen will be. This involves passing the white end of the cable through to the screen's position.
Connect this to the car machine's power cable. Attach the female end to the original power and connect the original fiber optic cable to the car machine's power male end. Next, connect the USB cables and the original LED’s plug to the new car machine’s power plug.
Step 3: Reassembling and Setting Up
Once all the connections are made, install and secure the new car machine, then bow your head to the main unit as you reinstall and secure it in place. Reconnect the button panel plugs, mount, and secure the panel. Finally, connect the plugs at the back of the vent panel and reinstall it.
Now, before you power on your new system, set the resolution of the original system to ensure it matches the new setup. Enter the settings, adjust the resolution, and choose the appropriate size. Make sure to also go into the Android system settings and check that the sound is transmitted via aux before first use.
Final Touches and Features
Your upgraded car system should now retain all the original vehicle systems but with added capabilities like support for the original vehicle's rotary knob, steering wheel buttons, reversing radar, and alerts for doors opening and closing. You can enjoy local or streaming music and video, and utilize local maps or online maps from Google or Waze.
Moreover, the system supports Bluetooth for both phone and music, and includes wireless CarPlay and Android Auto. This allows for the use of voice assistants to make calls, listen to music, navigate, and more, right from your vehicle's upgraded interface.
Conclusion
This upgrade not only enhances your vehicle’s tech but also keeps it functional with the original features.
