Barggn 10.25-Inch Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto Upgrade for BMW 5 Series F10/F11 (2012-2016) with NBT

Elevate BMW 5 Series infotainment with Barggn

The Barggn 10.25-inch touchscreen upgrade targets BMW 5 Series F10/F11 models from 2012 to 2016 that use the NBT system. This is a pre-purchase note: it is a Linux-based display enhancement designed to integrate without altering the vehicle’s control unit. It fits vehicles with a 6-pin LVDS cable and is not compatible with NBT Evo. If you’re unsure about your car’s system, we offer guidance and installation videos to help you decide and install confidently.
