Nice. But according to their website, their confusing statements (pasted in below) suggest that there will probably be lost functions, depending on your vehicle.

GPS/traffic signal recog functions most possible can not be added
the bluetooth , Radio, media info now not support
car with HUD/ AMG did not test, can not fit,
for hybird car need charging battery can not
Automatic parking [most possible can not be supported]

Welcome! It looks cool, I'm curious if the automatic parking function works, I'm also thinking of upgrading, does it lag? does it work well? thank you!

to be honest the automatic parking 🅿️ does still pop up but I never bothered to try it as I usually never do but I will give it a test and get back to you 👍🏼

regarding any lag, not that I’ve noticed at all that would’ve drove me insane! 😂

so far it’s been 2 weeks and I absolutely love the cluster!

The lack of ability to record maintenance service and no TPMS warning is a very hard pass. Get the unit working with all the factory capabilities and I would be on board. Looking cool means nothing if it doesn't have all the functionality of the stock cluster.

Had they spent more time making sure the functionality was there instead of extra time to make it look cool, they would be selling out quickly. As is, I wouldn't take one for free.

I ordered the latest version, which I hope does not have any bugs. It is cheaper. Once installed, I will post images. It might take a couple of weeks or more to arrive.

beware... the Chinese products can lose support without notice... I'm on several BMW boards where this has happened...
