SWTNVIN Car Radio for BMW 3 Series E46 Rover MG ZT 1999-2005 Android 14 CarPlay&Android Auto Stereo Built-in 4G LTE WiFi DSP BT5.0 GPS SWC 1280 * 720P IPS QLED Screen Octa-core 4+64G(No DVD)

BUY THIS ONE!!! I bought this unit after buying a $135 9" touchscreen Android 8.1 on eBay. The tuner was very weak, fitment was bad even with spacers by the top vent, and could not get the steering wheel controls to work after 2 hours of following multiple YouTube videos. A friend who's successfully installed many of these Chinese Android units could not get it to work as it should. So decided to go with this one as I wanted more of an OEM look.Install was very easy and fit right the first time. Sound quality was way better than the OEM or other Android unit even before I adjusted it. It does take about 30 seconds to boot up and be ready for BT connectivity. Steering wheel controls worked properly and right away without any fuss. Touchscreen is very responsive.I haven't had the time to do any screen mirroring or loading any music to it yet. The preloaded iGO GPS software works extremely well without having any updates. The unit did easily connect to my WiFi but signal was week from my driveway and couldn't/wouldn't update. Will try later or park close to a coffee shop to try again.

I wanted to upgrade my single din audio system, I but wanted to make it close to OEM as possible. This item meets both of that criteria. I’m not good at installing audio system but the instruction provided was very clear. The item itself was well made for its value. The system boots fast and all functions work as it should. This is my new favorite part of my car. This is only my review for the audio system itself I haven’t had the chance to install all the accessories such as rear view camera and some other stuff,as mentioned before I’m not good at installing audio systems, but I can’t wait to install the rest of the accessories.

Unit was plug and play in my 2006 e46 HK (w/o factory navigation). Easy to install. No need for additional harness/cable. Perfect fit. Looks OEM.Things I don't like:1. Do not like home page. Very busy. Many small icons. Not customizable.2. Music player is poor - does not organize music well. Can't select by anything other than artist name. A struggle to get it to list artist alphabetically (best I could do was reverse alphabetic order).3. Radio presets do not name station number or name - usually shows some cutoff part of present song playing (not a big deal).Things I like:1. Touchscreen very responsive. No lag noted2. Cold boot time not too bad - probably about 20 seconds (faster than similar EONON)3. Igo navigation preinstalled - works pretty good4. No bluetooth issues.The thing I love:Sound quality (my e46 has upgraded infinity door speakers). Has integrated DSP which most units at this price do not have. Even without tweaking DSP, I noticed a big difference in sound quality over stock head unit as soon as I installed it.Initially, after installing this unit, I decided to replace it because the minor gripes listed above. I replaced it with EONAN GA9450 (same form factor - 7inch touch screen ). Once I plugged in the EONON and tried to adjust sound quality, I realized I had made a mistake. The SVTNVIN unit's sound quality was much, much better. So I put the SVTNVIN back in and returned the EONAN. I can live with the little gripes; not a big deal but I really want the better sound.As noted above, I think this unit is a great value for its price. I am pleased with this purchase.

Happy with this radio. Car play works fine. Built in gps works fine. 2000 bmw 328ci with Harmon kardon system. Plug worked just fine. Removed old radio and radio bracket. Hooked up subwoofer. You will need a y splitter for subwoofer to work with rcas. Love oem look. Have gotten a ton of compliments in the 4 days it’s been installed. No complaints so far. Worth the money.

unit fit dash perfect but after that very little help in understanding installation . and NO written help on how to use unit after its in.will give it a chance but return it is on my mind I would lint add this concern. why would a company produce a product that fits well in dash has all the transisal issues solved and then not offer any installation info of start up and use info. I have not heard from this co. as of yet but will still give the a chance to make this work

Great support and fast response on questions I had regarding the installation. Looks great and has a “factory “ look. Sounds better than the original HK stereo that this e46 came with. One thing is that there are no logos installed for the boot function. Other than that I look forward to enjoying this unit. Thanks!!

I like the form of the unit, but it's not easy to install into an E46 BMW, and the UI/UX is pretty trash.It's really slow to boot up, slow to switch modes, and it comes with one massive loom to fit many cars instead of being modular.If you don't install the rear view camera, it still looks the screen and the audio, which isn't great. I already have backup sensors, and my car is pretty small.6/10 would not buy again, might end up replacing it later.

1. Radio harness doesn't work - How do I know this? I borrow radio harness from a friend with a similar stereo system. Different name brand and it just happen to plug into the back of this one, only then did it turn on.2. No mic - they never shipped a mic with the kit.3. No dongle shipped- therefore could not test apple car test.3. Little to no costumer service.Overall, do not buy. Its cheap!
