Hello, this is INDIWORK GARAGE. Today’s vehicle is a 2018 BMW G30 530i. The G30 5 Series has been praised for its return as a sports sedan, thanks to a smooth suspension setup that includes ride comfort, and sharper handling and cornering. The design changes and updated vehicle specifications have also made it popular among younger drivers.
Before we begin any work, we mask off areas like the seats and footrests to protect them during the process.


In order to install the CAR PLAY, we need to remove many trims to access the HEAD UNIT. Our GARAGE team, with their extensive knowledge and experience working on various vehicles, can perform the work without any hindrance.

The module is installed using a connector-by-connector method, which significantly reduces the likelihood of future issues.


After the installation is complete, we conduct a functionality test and fine-tune the equalizer settings for each vehicle, as audio settings may slightly differ among them.


The G30 EVO ID6 original system is supports touch fuction. But. Our Android Auto system is controlled by only i-drive controller It can not be controll by touch fuction complex keyboard typing and actions can still be controlled directly from your smartphone.


Since each vehicle has a different internal structure, the location of the set-top box varies. For the 530i G30, we attached it to the top of the glove box.

The product can be used with both wired and wireless connections. The image above shows the USB connector for a wired setup. We can place it in a location preferred by the customer. Though both wired and wireless usage is possible, we recommend using a wired connection. This is because wireless connections may occasionally experience buffering or disconnection issues when compared to wired connections.

We activated the hidden AUX input menu on the G30 through coding and connected the Android Auto voice feature.

You can use the applications installed on your smartphone, which are compatible with ANDROID AUTO, on the Android Auto platform.



Various country-specific navigation applications can be used as well.
