If you’ve ever wanted to watch Netflix, YouTube or other streaming apps on your BMW iDrive screen, the VMC Multimedia Box is the easiest way.

It’s a plug and play CarPlay upgrade that unlocks apps, streaming and navigation in just a few minutes no coding required.

 

What is the VMC BMW Multimedia Box?

 

The VMC Multimedia Box is a small device that connects to your BMW’s CarPlay USB port.

Once plugged in, it runs on Android, giving you access to almost any app directly on your iDrive display.

You can:

• Watch Netflix in your BMW
• Stream YouTube, Disney+ and Prime Video
• Use Google Maps or Waze without your phone
• Listen to Spotify or Apple Music
• Install other Android apps from the store

Because it’s plug and play, there’s no wiring, coding, or dealer programming.

Which BMW models are compatible?

 

The VMC Multimedia Box works with any BMW that has factory CarPlay.

If your car already supports Apple CarPlay, this upgrade is compatible.

Popular models include:

• BMW 3 Series (G20, F30 with CarPlay)
• BMW 5 Series (G30, F10 with CarPlay)
• BMW X3, X4, X5, X6, X7
• BMW 1 Series, 2 Series, 4 Series

Not sure? The simple test: if you have CarPlay, it will work.
