Why choose Mr12Volt
Many low-cost BMW CarPlay adapters connect through the AUX input, which means compromised sound quality
and reduced functionality. Every genuine Mr12Volt interface integrates directly with your BMW's MOST fibre optic network instead, preserving digital audio quality, steering wheel controls and iDrive operation exactly as BMW intended.
