Q:
Dear UGODE Sales Team,
Greetings!
Your company has been highly recommended to me for the quality and reliability of your BMW Android displays and digital instrument clusters. As I understand you are among the leading manufacturers in this field, I would like to contact you directly to request a quotation.

- VIN: WBAFP3101CDL74780
- Left-Hand Drive (LHD)
I would appreciate your confirmation on the following:
- Based on my VIN, does my vehicle require the CIC version or the NBT version? In addition, are these two different products manufactured separately (one for CIC and one for NBT), or is it the same unit that is compatible with both systems?

- When you installed this type of equipment in a MINI, did it work correctly and were all the original vehicle functions retained?
- Do both the Android display and the digital instrument cluster include detailed installation instructions or installation manuals?
- Are both products brand new and covered by your manufacturer’s warranty?
- Are these the latest versions currently available for the BMW F10, or do you expect a newer version to be released soon?

I am genuinely interested in purchasing both the Android display and the digital instrument cluster. However, the prices I have received so far are higher than I expected. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide your very best factory price for both products.
If your quotation is competitive, I am ready to place the order immediately.
Thank you very much. I look forward to your reply.
