1. Video Interface Car Solutions HD-LINK IW04B-N https://car-solutions.com/en/video-inte ... elines.php
- comes with all the required cables to install the device itself
- one of the connectors and pinout is for E90, no issue - see later
- can do front, rear cam and Navi
- integrates with iDrive
- I'm using it for reverse cam as well, gear is detected
- if you wanted wireless mirroring, because your phone doesn't support HDMI output, then use a Miracast device instead (it connects to the video interface via HDMI as well)
- you want to charge your phone, therefore just getting USB C - HDMI cable is not enough, but would work
- HDMI Adapter to Video Interface
- phone to HDMI adapter
- 12V cigarette lighter to HDMI Adapter
- Video Interface comes with 12V output for charging, but it didn't charge my phone enough
- landscape orientation works perfectly, no dials get covered
- Video Interface audio to car audio via AUX
1. open up the front
- there's an empty shelf above the radio/computer unit with enough room
2. change CID main cable sockets and pinouts to E89
