Folks,
We have this non-standard infotainment system fitted (pictures attached).
It’s a BMW type but that’s all we know. We haven’t a clue how to work it.
On starting it says Android 4.4 Kit Kat
Google maps won’t work sadly, a message displays saying Google Play has stopped working.
Any help advice gratefully received.
TIA.

No idea but there's only one way to find out, try it and see. I would expect it to work on andriod or iphone.
 
Thanks. Will have a try later on Sunday. Just realised that I have an old Android ‘phone as well so will give a charge and try also.
Thanks again.
 
Android 4.4 is really old. Google maps, etc. needs at least Android 8.

Best solution is as above . . . . connect bluetooth for hands-free and use a modern phone for Nav & Calls.
 
or fit a newer Android ? Plenty out there, but by all accounts a big job !! Glad I don't have one of those rust buckets.
 
Got it to connect to the ‘phone (iPhone) which I don’t really need as I have the Apple Watch but Google Maps won’t work sadly.
It plays DVDs okay and should play TV if a digital module is fitted.
No idea if the rear screens work as I haven’t tried yet.
She due a full service and a good valet then I can have a play with things.
