Called them and they booked me in within a couple of hours, same day. The install took less than 30 minutes. Very professional. Highly recommend!

Answers for X1 owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppHow much does car radio cost on a BMW X1?
It depends on the generation. E84 (2009–2015): from €290; F48 (2015–2022): from €290. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which BMW X1 years can have car radio?
E84, built 2009–2015 (Business radio with a 6.5-inch screen, or Professional navigation with CIC iDrive): 10.25-inch Android screen with the iDrive knob kept, DAB and camera input. F48, built 2015–2022 (6.5 or 8.8-inch screen: NBT on 2015–2016 cars, NBT Evo (ID5/ID6) from 2017, iDrive 7 on the 2020 facelift): 10.25-inch Android screen replaces the factory display, iDrive knob and steering buttons retained.
How long does car radio take on a BMW X1?
Two to three hours, usually the same day on the BMW X1 E84 and F48. You can wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit car radio on a BMW X1?
On every X1 we work on — E84 and F48 — the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and speakers, the reverse camera and the climate controls stay; the new unit adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB and a camera input.
Do I need to book car radio for my BMW X1, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (E84 and F48) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
