If BMW went this route, it would be AMAZING and I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Frankly this is an act of genius. Really cool idea, really well executed.

A screen that small is beyond useless though, and unsafe to operate to boot. Trying to see something on a screen that small, that far away from the driver's view of the road, is definitely a hazard.

BMW already has great options available that look OE.

For me it's not about the screen, but all the connectivity it brings.

Airplay 2 is lossless low power WiFi, fast, and seamless. Bluetooth sucks. There isn't a single single DIN unit I like for the e46 except the OEM one, which is why I went with that and stuck in a GROM.
