Perfect technology blogs for your BMW/TESLA

Of course, the fact that nobody uses cassette tapes any more means you’re going to have to be a little imaginative if you want to create an authentic retro experience. Rather than trying to hunt down a cassette deck for a 2015 F30, just get a cassette-shaped case for your cell, and stream your mixtape to your BMW’s stereo via Bluetooth. It’s a more than adequate replacement for an old-school cassette.

2016 has been a busy year for BMW, as it celebrated a century of automotive excellence. And it’s been no less busy for us here at BimmerTech. We’ve continued to develop innovative multimedia retrofits for every BMW lover. We’ve listened to your feedback and brought the features you were looking for to the iDrive. We’ve been doing everything we can to make sure your car is the best it can be.

When BMW says it will produce an autonomous iNext electric car within five years, it's not hope talking. It's expectation. Reality. These aren't utopian dreams any more. They're not neat ideas from sci-fi films we'll spend the next 50 years inching closer towards. This is what we can actually do; BMW is just one of many manufacturers who already offer intelligent cruise control and park assist in a range of production models, the first step towards fully self-driving vehicles.

The BMW screen — the focal point of the iDrive navigation system — lets you see vehicle information, navigation directions, messages and more. Find out more about it.

Many BMW E-Series cars are known to be quite tricky in terms of their upgrade possibilities due to older production dates. But their retrofit is definitely not impossible! So for all of you who wonder how to retrofit your BMW E-Series, we’ve prepared a list of retrofits suitable to a specific E-Series model.

A programmable car sound processor also makes it easy to try out new things. With the right programming tools for DSP processors, it can be as simple as connecting your laptop and loading a tuning file.

If you get that sinking feeling every time BMW comes out with a new feature or upgrade and wish you had waited just a little longer to purchase your baby, it’s time to throw those regrets out the window. Adding modern features, like a rear view camera, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, or an iDrive Touch controller is easy with a BimmerTech retrofit kit. If you have a few do-it-yourself skills and a free Saturday afternoon, your ultimate driving machine could soon be sporting a sweet, new makeover.

Modern remote keys have plenty of security benefits and make it easy to get into your car and hit the road — particularly if your BMW or MINI has the Comfort Access feature. But for all this convenience, they can be a real pain to get copies of.
