Hi folks, I just talked to Tommy today over at Avin... he mentioned that this would be a complete plug and play install for my 2016 F80 M3... order placed today, should get the unit sometime next week...
...will keep everyone updated on how it goes!

1-does it work seamlessly with the original backup camera? 2-can you access all the original functions (TPMS in particular)

Do you have ID5 or ID4? If you have ID4, it should be PnP. Not sure about the OEM backup camera shifting over while the Android UI is active though. According to an F30 user with ID4 and an OEM backup camera (in another thread about this unit), the OEM camera did not auto switch when the unit had the Android UI active, it only switched over to the screen when the OEM ID4 UI was active.
If you have ID5, your hardware could be APIX 1 (old hardware) or APIX 2 (new hardware). Not sure when the switch occurred in the 2016 model year, but according to another user with a MY2016 F80 w/ID5, he allegedly had the older hardware.

But yes, having Waze, bigger screen, better apps etc made me pull the trigger in lieu of having to jump to iD for backing up

So after the receiving the item, doing the updates that were sent over by Tommy, I will say the unit is a pain in the ass and does not behave as it should. Wifi connection is total garbage... well let me state there is no wifi connection! I've tried to connect to ios devices, android devices, even a stand alone hotspot... the damn thing does not connect.
On paper looks like a good devices... in execution it's junk.

Thanks for being a guinea pig and saving the rest of us trouble, sorry it didn't work out for you, though

Update is that I pulled it out and put it on a shelf. It's a haphazardly thrown together device that works if you're willing to fiddle around a lot... def not plug and play and def not worth the money or effort

The voltage converters are not that expensive so even if you bought one as a precaution and did not need it, you would not be out too much money. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VOLTAGE-CON...-/162809957439
