They are basicly the same units sold by many other sellers and car types.
You can check the F30 forums there is already a large Thread about that unit.

Interested in the belsee also for my e88, I've spent a couple days looking through all the threads but I can't find a specific adapter for the s677a top HiFi for the deck.

about which unit do you talk exactly ?
The on Dashboard Headunits are meant as Add-on to the oem System, sound will be routed via AUX to the OEM Headunit, so you don`t need any adapter, it does not matter which sound system your car has.

There's a good review by a Youtuber called CarlisOniT.

I sent an email to their sales support asking if the unit will fit inside the factory iDrive enclosure of my E82.

I got a response that didn't make sense unfortunately.

I should clarify that the factory head unit would be replaced with the belsee, I assume the harness that comes with the android unit wouldnt just plugin to the existing facotry Top Hifi one so I would need some sort of adapter or dongle for it to work and avoid cutting into any wires.

IF you have the HiFi or HK system in your car you need the fiber optic adapter from what I was told.

To update, i got another response from Belsee support, apparent CIC means the factory iDrive enclosure to which they have stated their 10.25 inch screen will replace your 8 inch screen.

Not sure how that works but i'm gonna give it a go.

I decided against it in the end, i'm looking for a solution that keeps that OEM finish. The surrounds around the screen get removed alongside factory Idrive screen.

Shame really, i may end up biting one day however.
