Head Units Designed for BMW 5 Series

BMW 5 Series infotainment systems vary considerably between generations. Our range includes options for E60/E61 (2003–2010), F10/F11 (2010–2017), F07 GT (2010–2017) and selected G30 (2017–2022) models.

Factory CCC, CIC, NBT and EVO systems have different integration requirements. Your original iDrive controller, steering wheel controls, factory amplifier, fibre-optic audio connections and CANBUS functions may all influence which head unit suits your vehicle.

DMS Engineering head units offer plug-and-play installation, with relevant wiring harnesses and adapters included for compatible configurations. This helps retain supported factory features without unnecessary modifications.

For extra peace of mind, upload a dashboard photo when ordering. Our team will verify compatibility before dispatch.
