Android Auto on a BMW Z4

I recently got a 2010 Z4 with the built-in sat nav and all the other things the computer does. After using it for a while, I'm not very happy with the sat nav. I knew it was not going to be as good as Google Maps or Waze but I found it way more annoying and hard to use than I expected. So I started to look for alternatives, mounting my phone on the dash or something like that. That's when I found this:

and my jaw dropped. It looks like it retained the idrive unit but it works as Android Auto too (and it's also touch screen). What is this sorcery? I want this sorcery. Does anybody know anything about it?

PS: yes, I haven't published pics of my new car yet. I'm waiting to take good ones (I've been more focused on driving than taking pics).
 
On another YouTube video someone pointed to https://www.crutchfield.com as a potential source of after market units.
