Join us on a unique journey as we tackle one of the most common gripes with classic cars - the outdated infotainment system. Specifically, we dive into the heart of a 2007 BMW M6, a car that’s almost perfect, save for its archaic CCC iDrive system. This video documents our adventure from frustration to satisfaction as we upgrade to a modern Android screen, blending the old with the new.

The Challenge: Outdated Technology

The BMW M6 is a masterpiece of engineering, with a luxurious interior that boasts leather, Alcantara, and meticulously designed controls. However, its infotainment system is a relic of the past, resembling something more akin to a 90s Game Boy than a modern car’s interface. Navigation is cumbersome, the climate control interface is baffling, and the overall user experience is far from intuitive.

The Solution: Android Screen Upgrade

Determined to modernize without losing the essence of this classic, we embarked on an upgrade project. Our goal was to install an Android screen that not only enhances functionality but also respects the car’s original aesthetics. This new system promises a world of possibilities, from improved navigation to seamless smartphone integration, all while retaining the option to revert to the original system if desired.

The Process: Installation and Review

The installation process is detailed, showing the transformation from the outdated CCC system to a sleek, modern Android interface. We explore the new system’s features, including touch screen navigation, Apple CarPlay compatibility, and the ability to switch between the original and new systems with ease. Despite some minor drawbacks, such as the iDrive knob’s less-than-perfect integration with the Android system, the upgrade significantly enhances the driving experience.

The Verdict: A Worthy Investment

For a relatively modest investment, the infotainment system upgrade breathes new life into the BMW M6, making it a more enjoyable and functional ride. While it’s not without its quirks, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks, offering a modern touch to a timeless classic.

Conclusion

Upgrading the infotainment system of a classic car like the BMW M6 is a journey worth taking. It’s a testament to the idea that with a bit of innovation and investment, you can have the best of both worlds - classic charm with modern convenience. Whether you’re a die-hard enthusiast or a casual driver, this upgrade is a game-changer that redefines the driving experience.
