Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do. Today we're installing a 12.3-inch screen in my 2011 BMW 535i. It's replacing the old CIC system in the car and will finally give me apple carplay and android auto as well as a much brighter and sharper display that looks like it comes right off of a 2017+ G30 BMW 5 series.

If so where did you hide those? 4. How easy it is to install the backup camera and where do i place it? 5. If i have installed professionally, how much do you think that would cost me?

I've been using mine for a little over a 6 months. The cable they provided to interface with the car has an intermittent short where I lose the right channel speakers. I've mostly fixed the issue because they wanted to charge me $35 to ship a cable out. There were a lot of firmware issues that have mostly been corrected with the last update they pushed to me. It's been a bit of a headache but I'm happy now that it is working. I love having wireless apple carplay and a bigger touchscreen but it's not perfect.
