R53 nav / CarPlay options
Discussion
MiniMiss has chosen wisely in her first car request and I have a really quite lovely 2011 One on the drive. I very much don’t want a crappy suction phone holder on the windscreen so looking for good alternatives.
I’ve seen phone holders that slot into the CD player (“what’s a CD?” she asks).
Are there any routes to fitting a single or double
DIN head unit where the CD player is?
Interesting options welcomed!

I fitted a carpuride 7" carplay unit to my R56. Fits nicely over the front cup holders and with an external mic the audio on the phone is as good as the OEM in my old BMW.
Phone can then be out the way with a decent size screen for music, nav, phone etc.
Impressed enough to buy another to go in my F56 as well.

Interesting thanks, how did you mount it to the cupholders?
Its actually bolted through the centre console and covers the cup holders. Not difficult and no wobbles etc.I'll get some pics at the weekend on the R56, this is the F56 with the same layout and unit, in the R56 the cupholders are underneath the unit.
