A customer was interested in purchasing a UGODE Android head unit for the BMW Z4 E89, featuring wireless CarPlay and Android Auto functionality. Since he wasn’t very familiar with our products, he asked us some questions before making a purchase.
Q：
Hello Jame,
I’m thinking about buying your 12.3-inch UGODE Android screen for my BMW Z4 E89.
My car doesn’t have a factory-installed instrument cluster display, but it is equipped with a BMW Professional factory radio and a fully functional factory AUX input port.
USB flash drive backup option
1. The maximum supported USB flash drive capacity.
2. The required file system: FAT32, exFAT or another format.
3. Whether MP4, MKV and AVI videos play in full-screen 1080p.
4. Whether USB video continues playing while the car is moving.
5. Whether playback resumes from the same position after the ignition is switched off and on.
6. Whether the next video starts automatically or a playlist/folder can be played continuously.
7. Whether Yandex Navigator or CarPlay navigation voice prompts can be heard while a USB video is playing.
8. Whether all USB video sound is transmitted through the factory AUX input.
Display configuration and bundle price
Please also confirm:
1. Full compatibility of the 12.3-inch Android Screen with my E89 without an original screen, BMW Professional radio and factory AUX.
2. Whether the package includes every required cable, bracket, USB connection and an external iDrive controller.
3. Whether the Android Screen has a full Russian-language interface.
4. Whether the original steering-wheel buttons, radio, parking sensors and vehicle information remain functional.
5. The exact price of the 12.3-inch “without OEM screen” version.
Thank you!

4. Whether the original steering-wheel buttons, radio, parking sensors and vehicle information remain functional.
-For vehicles equipped with the BMW CIC system (the E89 is a CIC model), if the up and down track controls on the stock steering wheel are scroll wheels, they do not support Android system controls; however, the functions of the stock system remain unaffected.
If the up and down track controls on the stock steering wheel are buttons, both the Android system and the stock system are supported.
All other buttons on the original steering wheel, the radio, parking sensors, and vehicle information all function normally.
5. The exact price of the 12.3-inch “without OEM screen” version.
-When you place your order, select “Without OEM Screen” and the price will be displayed.
Thank you!
