Bavarian Automotive Opiniones 

Absolutely brilliant service, quick helpful response each time I contacted them.
This was from my initial contact enquiring about the product and after I had made the purchase.
I can not fault their service, it has been an absolute pleasure doing business with Bavarian Automotive, second to none and the CarPlay box is fantastic.
I would definitely recommend both the product and the company.
Thank you.

Hi there, just a quick thank you on your delivery time and the product had it fitted in my car the same night took me about 40 minutes. Pretty simple and YouTube helps once again. Thank you👊

Needed a CarPlay activation code for my 2019 X3. Code delivered within 24hrs with link to software and installation instructions which were quick and easy to follow.

I ordered an apparently in stock item, only to be told it was stuck in customs, after I contacted them, a week after ordering. Why they never told me this and waited for me to contact them I do not know.

They informed me they had another version (with less features) that they could send and it would arrive on Friday. For taking the lesser model and for the mess they made of my order they offered me a refund on the trim tools, which was less than 2% of the order, so next to nothing basically.

Friday comes around and the tracking hasn't updated. They made excuses and promised it would arrive on Saturday and said if it doesn't "ring DHL".

Saturday comes around and this time the tracking has updated, but it says its going to be delivered next Saturday. I have no idea how or why they have done this.

Very poor customer service, no phone number, just an email address they ignore and a live chat that usually goes unanswered.

Continually lie about when orders are going to be delivered and an appalling lack of communication.

They have done absolutely nothing but waste my time. I am in the process of trying to get a refund out of them.

Save yourself a headache and order from a proper, competent company, not these cowboys, they’re little more than a very unfunny joke.

I was looking to add Apple CarPlay to my BMW Z4 e89 2016 model. After looking around I landed on this site and even though my vehicle was not listed through communication with company we identified the best unit.

Living in Cornwall it was not possible to travel for fitting so I did myself.

The support from Bavarian from talking through connection checks and setup. A great product and great company to deal with. Value for money definitely and I wish I had done it years again because it is brilliant

Excellent service. Sent videos to them to help with the set up of my Apple CarPlay and they were so helpful. Really recommend

Quick Delivery, well informed of my delivery progress... then delivered without the reversing camera I had ordered. No information regarding where the camera is/was, no packing note confirming content should or should not have been there. Upon chasing BA let me know the camera isn’t compatible with your car and refunded the cost.

On to installation, the kit looks good, instructions have to be downloaded using a QR code. The removal keys I had ordered with the kit were useful and worked as required. Upon completion of the installation it was found the in car microphone wasn't working. I have let BA know and shared the solution with them. If you have a similar issue, check that the loom you receive matches your car; the 2g, 3g and 3g plus have slight differences and it may be the mic pins are 6/7 instead of 2/3 or vice-versa.

This is a small business, so maybe set your expectations around response times, the kit I ordered (A5 Apple Play retrofit) works and I can recommend it.

Order the screen for a bmw f20 what a great upgrade to the car and easy to fit yourself takes up to an hour to fit and great customer services great

I have just purchased a BMW F30 - 2013 CarPlay retrofit from Bavarian Automotive and fitted it.

The kit went in well but the screen would not centre properly. I emailed and was updated in a day with a firmware file to fix the issue and make it work with my car.

It’s now fully fitted, working and looks and sounds awesome. This kit is much more advanced than a previous one I had tried and integrates really well with the existing BMW head unit. The kit also contains an equaliser and loudness setting which again made ALL the difference. Really impressed and grateful to have had the help to sort the job. Would use again without a thought.

Here’s some pictures to show how easy fitting was and how good it looks. Don’t doubt yourself if your tempted, get one in :-)

Purchased a unit for my daughters mini F56.

Got it in and it is working well - best part of the experience was the back up as initially the unit needed a slight software upgrade to make the idrive work - quick response to my emails and got the files and instructions in a day.

Would suggest reviewing the online videos for fitting - simple but lots of wires to get out of the way.

Ordered MMI box for my F31 Alpina which integrated seamlessly with the BMW system. There are a lot of units for sale on the internet with varying hardware, this one is speedy and reliable.

The biggest draw card for anyone looking to buy is the excellent customer support from Bavarian Automotive. Highly recommended over other vendors for this reason.

I recently bought the Apple Car Play unit for my 8V Audi - I was a little dubious at first but the unit arrived within 12 working days and after a while playing around with it, works absolutely fine. Great addition to the car!!
Just be aware the instructions aren't great but watching youtube vids explains it all.

Very quick service and delivery. Delivered everything needed. Good instructions for fitting and easy to fit. Works brilliantly. Comms could be a bit quicker but I understand it’s a small company so no issue. Woildnt hesitate to use again.

Updated 5/6/22

When I received my order, a cable was missing which is critical for the touch screen to work. I reported this on 12/5 when I receive the 2 units I ordered. I’ve chased 4 times since, and been told the missing part was resent. When I queried if they have a tracking number (first package did so why wouldn’t this?) I was ignored. It’s been a further 4 days since my last message. Really not good enough when I spent over £600. I’ve taken my complaint to Clearpay who are now looking into it. So annoyed and due to this I would highly recommend going to another company. My reverse camera also doesn’t work and was told they would send a small resistor that needs installed to fix, this too “is missing” in the post with no tracking number - I could have ordered one from Amazon for £5.

Fantastically quick delivery and amazing support afterwards during installation! Would recommend to everyone.

Nice chap to do business with. He fitted Apple CarPlay to my car. We had a few teething problems, but in the end it was all sorted. I would recommend them.

Bought the carplay MMI box as our F30 BMW didnt have carplay or satnav.
Absolute breeze to install with the provided instructions and works perfectly. I had to contact Bavarian Auto for advice and their support is excellent with very quick replies.
Now have all the functions of Apple Carplay while still using the iDrive controller so don't even have to take my eyes off the road.
Highly recommend this.

Very helpful as after I did a software update I lost some functionality of the car play unit. Unbeknown to me the update had turned off a lot of the original installation settings. Quick response to my questions and I’m now back up and running with no issues 👍

I bought a Apple carplay box (plus reversing camera) to connect to the MMI in my Audi A3.

Prior to ordering, they answered all my questions promptly and fully. The order was shipped and arrived as specified. The instructions were very clear. I have now fitted the system and works perfectly.

I would definitely recommend and buy again from them. The product was well made and competitively priced as well as excellent customer service.

Shocking company absolutely no communication please buy elsewhere avoid these cowboys. Total lie in ya response ya updated nothing till I got in touch with you numerous un answered emails and messages one star is over rated also don’t believe van story for one minute nothing from ya from that day to this

Great product and reverse camera, great customer service when I had questions- very helpful guys!! Will be ordering again in the future.
