Aftermarket GPS Navigation Head Unit is specially designed to upgrade BMW X3(F25)/X4(F26) 2010-2017 factory LCD screen unit and add a DVD player(optional). It has the same plug and harness as factory head unit, totally plug and play. This head unit only replaces the original LCD screen unit and retains the factory FM/CD unit, so the original BMW car computer/CD/FM/AM/Sirius/XM will still work as before.
Vehicles Supported:
BMW X3(F25) 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017
BMW X4(F26) 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018
Ylinen wroteHows the navigation on it? I heard good things about AVIN.I went with the AVIN USA model because I wanted Android 7.1 and more RAM. Love it. Best thing I did for my X3. Wish BMW would use it.
Have all the I-Drive stuff and now a full Android unit as well.
It is cheaper than the unit you list.

MetaX wroteAVIN requires you to hook it up to cars AUX, if you look at their website they have an option when you "build" your AVIN system to include a split cable for AUX.I'd like to know if you need to use the AUX port in the arm rest to get audio on the F25. I saw BMW DIY Guy's install and review videos wherein he says that most BMWs need you to run the audio out from the AVIN to the AUX in port in the arm rest to get audio. Evidently, some do not require that connection where audio is natively sent to the head unit.
