BMW 3 Series 2006 (E90) - Radio & Reverse Camera Replacement

Original Setup:

  • Factory Radio
  • No Reverse Camera
  • No Reverse Sensors

New Setup:

  • Sony XAVAX6000 Wireless Apple CarPlay & android Auto Head Unit
  • Reverse Camera

Upgrade Details:

This early model BMW E90 originally came with a basic, non-color screen radio that lacked all the modern tech you'd expect today. To bring it up to date, we used a custom facia kit that allows the climate controls to be relocated lower, making space for a touchscreen display in the prime viewing position.

The new head unit features a compact short-chassis design, which made installation much easier, and adds wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a smooth, responsive interface—massively improving the driving experience.

We also installed a high-definition BMW latch-style reverse camera, which replaces the factory boot latch for a clean, OEM-style finish. It integrates perfectly with the new screen and includes parking guidelines, making reversing safer and more convenient.
