Altoporte Unveils E2TV EVO for BMW and MINI

Altoporte Co., a Japanese company headquartered in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, has announced the launch of the E2TV EVO, a state-of-the-art television canceler designed to enhance the in-car entertainment experience for BMW and MINI vehicles. Set for shipment starting February 10, 2026, the E2TV EVO will be compatible with the latest BMW iDrive 9 and MINI OS9 navigation systems, marking a significant upgrade for those seeking an elevated driving experience.

Background of Development

With the latest safety technologies and advanced control systems, BMW and MINI vehicles also come equipped with entertainment applications that allow passengers to enjoy multimedia content. However, traditional settings restrict video playback when the vehicle is in motion—a limitation that many passengers, especially those in the back seat, have found frustrating. Understanding these needs, Altoporte dedicated itself to creating a solution that respects and preserves the luxury and quality synonymous with these prestigious brands.

In the development of the E2TV EVO, attention was given to ensure minimal impact on vehicle electronics and a streamlined installation process. The design aims to keep components discreetly mounted, thus maintaining the aesthetic of the vehicle’s interior while ensuring long-term reliability and a refined driving experience. E2TV EVO is designed to transform time spent in the car into a more enjoyable and comfortable journey, whether for everyday commutes or special trips.

Features of E2TV EVO

The E2TV EVO allows users to watch compatible applications, navigate maps, and view TV channels (if the vehicle includes a tuner) while on the road. Activation and deactivation of the canceling function can conveniently be done using the original steering wheel buttons. The compatible apps include popular streaming services like YouTube, U-NEXT, and Disney+, although certain services may require separate subscriptions.

Advanced Technology Integration

Designed with the latest in-car Ethernet technology, the E2TV EVO incorporates an innovative control function that allows for On/Off operations without the need for additional external switches. This feature promotes a sleek appearance in the cabin while enhancing user convenience, as controls can be managed through existing vehicle switches. Furthermore, the device can be installed without modifying factory wiring, ensuring both efficiency in installation and consistency in quality for industry professionals.
