YES, this compatible if you have the smaller 4:3 or larger 16:9 factory navigation or TV monitor. You will need our 6M quadlock extension cable to complete your install.
No. The aftermarket mounting brackets are included with this radio.
YES, the IBUS USB adapter will give you OnBoard Computer function and will display your factory Parking Distance Control sensor info visually on the screen.
NO, it has to be ordered at the same time as the Avant head unit. This option can NOT be added and installed later.
Internal TPMS sensors are installed inside the wheels. This install requires going to the tire shop and paying them to install the internal TPMS sensors for you.
External TPMS is much easier than you can do this yourself. They are like valve caps that you twist on top of your existing valve stems using your hands.
PX6 is the fastest and most responsive option.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
The purpose of the tire pressure monitoring system is to warn you that at least one or more tires are significantly under-inflated or over-inflated, possibly creating unsafe driving conditions. Maintaining the correct tire pressure for your BMW is an important factor in extending the life of your tires. Too little tire pressure will eventually cause catastrophic tire failure.
Note: External TPMS sensors shown. Internal sensors are also available.
