Example of installed Smarty Trend car stereo in the BMW 1 Series F20/F21 (2011-2016) with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features.

The BMW F20 is the second generation of the BMW 1 Series five-door compact hatchback. Like its predecessor, it has rear-wheel drive, longitudinal engine layout and 50:50 mass distribution along the axes.

BMW designers have retained the recognizable features of the 5-door of the 1st series, however, upon closer look, it is noticeable that the car has received completely new side panels, a revised appearance of the stern and a different front part, which can be modified depending on the chosen modification. For example, in the Sport Line version the car has branded “nostrils” of the radiator grille with black vertical slats and a special front bumper, while the Urban Line version is distinguished by a large number of chrome parts.

Installation process:

Installation of the head unit is a rather complicated procedure. SMARTY Trend company is pleased to inform you that these devices are standard, so they are specially designed for this vehicle with a certain configuration. AUX is a key factor. All the necessary components for installation are supplied in one set along with the head unit, thereby ensuring easy installation of the head unit. Since the device is standard, as we mentioned earlier, there is no need to perform additional work for installation. The build quality of the head unit is in no way inferior to the standard one, which is an advantage.

Standard functions:

The SMARTY Trend head unit fully supports the original functions of your car, which is a significant advantage of this device. The peculiarity is that the design of the head unit does not differ from the design of the standard system, which is a significant advantage. The transition between the stock and Android systems is carried out using the joystick. Support for steering wheel buttons and a stock rear view camera is a weighty argument. SMARTY Trend receivers support all the standard functions of this car.

The first thing we would like to note is the changes in the central console of the car, the build quality of SMARTY Trend devices is one of the best on the world market today. A huge number of new functionalities that became possible after installing the radio.
