I got the product for my 2008 BMW 128i (e88), unboxed it and everything looked great. I proceeded to take apart my dash and removed my screen. After I had it all taken off, I proceeded to mockup the dash kit to make sure it fits in my dashboard and the base of the screen didn't. It was alot of work to realize it wouldn't work. I returned the item on June 12th 2024. The item has been received, Amazon stated refund will be issued on June 30th, I looked today and the refund issue date moved to July 3rd. I have a feeling this going to drag on. $300 held for weeks is not okay. I would avoid purchasing this item. It most likely will not fit.

Per chi vuole montarlo da se è importante sapere che per i modelli e87 CI VUOLE IN AGGIUNTA DA COMPRARE IL CAVO LVDS super specifico per avere le funzioni parallele del sistema originaleÈ stato difficilissimo trovarlo e capire che era necessario

If you don’t care about my experience, I don’t blame you. So here’s my final thoughts: doesn’t look good and even though it appears to flip, it does not. I sort of expected that going into it but the plastic trim they give you to rest the unit on looks very tacky.Now, if you would like to know the pain I went through, here ya go. To start, they give you a wiring harness that is not plug and play. In order to make it so, you need to purchase other wiring kits. Instead of instructions, they give you a pamphlet. The pamphlet contains, only as I can describe, frequent customer complaints or questions with solutions. Probably not something I would call reassuring. Even with the wiring kit they offer, I’m guessing they forgot about the speakers because there’s no where to plug those in. They attempted to design this thing similar to the OEM design. A for effort! HOWEVER.. instead of having a female connector for the speakers under the screen (similar to the OEM design) there is a female connector for the LVDS cable. If they would have bothered to check the OEM design, they would know that they needed a (much longer) male connector. To make this work, you have to purchase a 50$ LVDS cable with 2 male connectors OR do what I did.. cut the cable from the original factory screen and cut the end off the female connector in order to splice these together.I haven’t even discussed how to get the speakers to work but you can see where this is going.. I’m still going to get another head unit because I hate this thing, even after the work I put into it
