Upgrade your 2013–2017 BMW F20 display with a cleaner wide-screen cockpit look
This BMW F20 NBT EVO Android Head Unit is built for 2013–2017 BMW 1 Series F20 vehicles where the factory screen feels small or outdated. It adds wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, Android app usability and a wider 12.3 inch display while keeping the BMW dashboard layout familiar.
Choose by factory system, not only by model name
BMW F20 dashboards can look similar while using different factory systems and LVDS connectors. iKAGOO checks your NBT or EVO system before shipment so your order is prepared around your actual vehicle configuration.
Before and after upgrade value for the BMW 1 Series cabin
The original display can make the F20 interior feel older than the car actually drives. A wider Android screen gives maps, phone projection and media apps more usable space without changing the center dashboard structure.
Matched harness and accessories for cleaner installation
The supplied screen, wiring and accessories are prepared for the selected BMW system. Correct matching reduces wrong-connection risk and helps avoid intentionally cutting supported factory wiring.
System confirmation protects you from ordering the wrong version
BMW CCC, CIC, NBT and EVO systems use different screen plugs and interface logic. Send clear dashboard and system photos before shipment so iKAGOO can prepare the correct version for your BMW F20.

Snabbt svar
A direct buying summary for BMW F20 owners comparing a full Android screen, a CarPlay-only interface box or an OEM display retrofit.
The BMW F20 NBT EVO Android Head Unit is a vehicle-specific Android display and stereo upgrade for 2013–2017 BMW 1 Series F20 vehicles where the factory NBT or EVO system must be confirmed before shipment.
It upgrades the original screen experience with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Android navigation apps, Bluetooth, QLED display, DSP audio functions and 4G LTE-capable configurations.
After correct connection and configuration, supported factory functions such as iDrive-style control, steering-wheel buttons, factory audio output, parking information and original system access can continue to work through the matched vehicle interface.
Before shipment, iKAGOO checks your model year, dashboard layout, factory system screen and connector photos to prepare the correct screen, wiring harness and vehicle interface.
Choose this upgrade if you want a larger and more modern BMW 1 Series display with lower wrong-version risk than buying a generic Android screen or a CarPlay-only box by photo alone.
Buyer Concerns Answered Before You Order
These are the first questions most BMW F20 owners ask before replacing the original display.
Will it fit my exact BMW F20?
It is prepared for 2013–2017 BMW 1 Series F20 vehicles, but the factory NBT or EVO system must be checked before shipment. iKAGOO uses your dashboard and system photos to reduce wrong-version risk.
Will the original BMW controls continue to work?
Supported iDrive-style control and steering-wheel buttons continue to work after correct wiring and CANBUS or vehicle-interface configuration. This keeps daily operation familiar instead of making the screen touchscreen-only.
Is this more than a CarPlay interface box?
Yes. This is an Android head unit screen upgrade, not just a hidden CarPlay decoder. It adds CarPlay and Android Auto while also giving you Android apps, a larger display and hardware configuration choices.
Do I need to cut wiring?
No intentional cutting of supported factory wiring is required. The matched harness is prepared for the supported BMW system, and installation should stop if your connector does not match the supplied harness.
Core Buyer Benefits
Each benefit connects a real feature to daily driving value and correct-version preparation.
Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto for daily navigation
Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto make Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, calls and music easier to use on the road. Your BMW F20 keeps a familiar cockpit layout while gaining a much more current driving interface.
12.3 inch display for a clearer 1 Series cabin
The wider display gives navigation, media and Android apps more usable room than the small factory screen. This is especially valuable if you plan to keep the vehicle and want the interior to feel newer every day.
4+64GB or 8+128GB 8-core configuration
The 4+64GB option is suitable for normal CarPlay, Android Auto and navigation use. The 8+128GB 8-core option gives stronger app storage and smoother daily use if you rely on the Android side often.
4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and DSP functions
Supported configurations allow online maps, media apps, Bluetooth calling and DSP audio adjustment. These functions make the upgrade useful beyond appearance, especially for daily commuting and longer drives.
Fabriksinställningarna behålls
Function retention depends on the correct BMW NBT or EVO system, supplied harness, vehicle interface and proper installation.
iDrive-style control
The original BMW control logic is supported after correct connection and configuration. This helps you switch between menus and functions without relying only on the touchscreen.
Rattkontroller
Supported steering-wheel buttons continue to work after correct CANBUS or vehicle-interface setup. This keeps volume, track and call operation familiar during daily driving.
Parking information and original system access
Supported parking information and original BMW system access can continue to work after correct connection and setup. This helps the upgrade feel integrated instead of isolated from the car.
Factory audio and speaker output
Factory audio output remains supported through the matched BMW interface. Vehicles with special factory audio equipment should provide details before shipment so iKAGOO can prepare the correct connection guidance.
Special factory audio systems, non-standard cameras, previous aftermarket modifications or uncommon regional configurations may require additional connection instructions. Please provide the requested vehicle information when ordering so iKAGOO can prepare the correct version.
Product Media Story
These current product visuals explain system selection, screen clarity, connectivity and audio value.
QLED clarity and online app usability
A clearer display gives navigation and app interfaces more room. With supported 4G LTE and Wi-Fi configurations, the screen is useful for online maps, music apps and Android functions beyond basic phone projection.
Bluetooth and DSP improve daily cabin use
Bluetooth calling, Bluetooth music and DSP sound adjustment help the upgrade feel useful every day. For a compact BMW cabin, better media control and sound tuning matter more than a screen that only looks newer.
Configuration choice affects long-term usability
RAM, storage, CPU and display support affect how the unit feels after months of use. Choose the stronger configuration if you expect to run Android apps, online maps and media functions frequently.
Real installed appearance in the original dashboard area
The upgrade gives the BMW F20 cabin a more modern display while keeping the screen in the original dashboard line. This is the cleanest direction for owners who want daily usability without visually over-modifying the interior.
Send These Details So iKAGOO Can Prepare the Correct Version
BMW F20 model name alone is not enough. Before shipment, iKAGOO checks your vehicle year, factory NBT/EVO system, dashboard layout and connector details to reduce wrong-version risk.
Why This Upgrade Is Worth Buying
The strongest value is for owners who want a larger display, CarPlay, Android Auto and Android app capability while keeping the BMW F20 cabin clean.
Better than keeping the small factory screen unchanged
The original display may still work, but it does not give the same flexible app experience as a modern Android head unit. This upgrade adds stronger navigation, phone integration and media usability for daily driving.
More complete than a CarPlay-only interface box
A CarPlay-only box can be enough if you only need phone projection. This BMW F20 NBT EVO Android Head Unit adds a full Android display platform, larger screen and more flexible app use.
Cleaner than a universal aftermarket screen
A universal screen may be cheaper, but it often creates fitment, control and wiring uncertainty. iKAGOO focuses on the correct BMW F20 system, dashboard layout and wiring match before shipment.
Useful for long-term BMW ownership
If you plan to keep your BMW F20, a screen upgrade improves every drive. The value is strongest when you use navigation, calls, music and apps often instead of treating the screen as a decoration.
Varför handla hos iKAGOO?
The main difference is not only the screen. It is vehicle-specific preparation before shipment and support after delivery.
Fordonsspecifik förberedelse
iKAGOO checks the BMW model year, F20 dashboard layout and NBT/EVO factory system before preparing your order. This helps avoid buying only by product photos.
Screen, harness and interface matching
The screen, wiring harness and vehicle interface are prepared around your BMW factory system. Correct matching helps the Android screen communicate with supported original functions.
Original function integration
Supported iDrive-style control, steering-wheel buttons, parking information and factory audio logic are considered during preparation. The goal is a usable BMW upgrade, not just a screen that powers on.
Skydd av fabrikens ledningsdragning
The matched harness approach is designed to connect without intentionally cutting supported factory wiring. If connectors do not match, installation should stop and iKAGOO support should be contacted.
Support för installation och konfiguration
iKAGOO can help with connection checks, basic configuration direction and function testing after installation. This matters because CANBUS, audio and system settings may need correct setup.
12-month hårdvarugaranti
Eligible hardware is covered by iKAGOO’s 12-month limited warranty. After-sales support is available for configuration, installation questions and verified product issues.

Read Android Head Unit GuideVanliga frågor och svar
Each answer starts with a clear decision direction, then explains the buying logic.
Will this fit my exact 2013–2017 BMW F20?
Yes, if your vehicle is a supported BMW 1 Series F20 and the factory NBT or EVO system matches the selected version. iKAGOO still checks your dashboard and system photos before shipment because connector and system differences matter.
Does this BMW F20 NBT EVO Android Head Unit support Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto?
Yes. The unit supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can use navigation, calls, voice commands and music from your phone on the upgraded BMW display.
Will my original iDrive-style control and steering-wheel controls still work?
Yes, supported original controls continue to work after correct wiring and CANBUS or vehicle-interface configuration. This is why iKAGOO checks the factory NBT/EVO system and prepares the correct harness before shipment.
Is this a screen replacement or only a CarPlay module?
Yes, it is a screen upgrade, not only a hidden interface box. It replaces the display with a 12.3 inch Android screen while keeping supported original BMW system functions after correct setup.
Do I need to cut the factory wiring?
No. The matched harness approach is designed to connect without intentionally cutting supported factory wiring. Stop installation and contact iKAGOO if the connector does not match or if cutting the factory main harness seems necessary.
Is it suitable for DIY installation?
It depends. The Installation Ease Level is Level 3 — Advanced DIY, which is suitable for experienced DIY installers or automotive electronics installers. First-time DIY buyers should consider professional help because trim removal, wiring, CANBUS setup and function testing must be done carefully.
Vad ska jag skicka innan leveransen?
Send your BMW model, year, market region, LHD/RHD position, dashboard photo, factory NBT/EVO system photo and connector photo if available. This helps iKAGOO prepare the correct screen, wiring harness and vehicle interface for your order.
What if my BMW has Harman Kardon or another special audio system?
It depends. Special factory audio systems may need additional connection instructions or confirmation before shipment. Tell iKAGOO about premium audio, amplifier equipment or previous aftermarket changes when ordering.
Why buy from iKAGOO instead of a cheaper generic unit?
Because the cheapest screen is not always the correct screen. iKAGOO focuses on vehicle-specific preparation, correct harness matching, factory function retention and after-sales installation support, which helps reduce wrong-version and wrong-connection risk.
What happens if my connector or factory system is different?
It depends. Do not force the installation if the connector or factory system is different from the supplied version. Contact iKAGOO with clear photos so the issue can be checked before any wiring damage occurs.
Confirm your BMW NBT or EVO system, choose the correct configuration and order with lower wrong-version risk
This upgrade is strongest for 2013–2017 BMW F20 owners who want wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, Android app usability and a cleaner BMW-style display upgrade. Send your vehicle details when ordering so iKAGOO can prepare the correct version.








Callum Harris -
I fitted the 10.25-inch version to my 2017 BMW M140i. The original display looked small compared with the rest of the interior, so this upgrade made a noticeable difference. Switching between the Android interface and the factory BMW system is convenient. The installer needed some time to route the cables properly, but the finished result looks clean.
