Excellent Video Walk through. I also just purchased from 4x4 for my Audi B8...They have good customer service compared to their competitors just down the road from them.
Hi, great video, thanks because im concerning the display. I have a question, did you solve the “problem” when you put it on in says 1920*720 instead of BMW?
Hi Great Video, will this also work for me who has the small screen with no Navi and champ2 system which also has no BT Audio? (Only calls work via BT but no apps oder music of any kind ..)
Hi please help me figure out where you connect that wire from old display screen. You skipped video, so I can’t seem so I don’t know why I need to connect that wire my display doesn’t work. Thank you for help
Questions: i have a 2016 BMW X1 XDRIVE28I which doesn't have navigation and Backup camera 1. Do i need the wifi adapter to connect the dash to a hotspot so i have watch youtube, use internet, GPS etc? 2. Do i need a Bluetooth adapter to connect to my phone and use android auto? 3. If so where did you hide those? 4. How easy it is to install the backup camera and where do i place it? 5. If i have installed professionally, how much do you think that would cost me?
I did this on my 2012 740li. Great upgrade! About to do a 14.9inch screen on my 2017 X5 m package. Maybe one day ill do it to my X7 also. But for now the x7 screen is legit.
I have a 535i manual and my car has 3 driving modes. Normal, Sport and Sport+. How did you manage to make the mic work? And could you already connect your phone for bluetooth music streaming?
Hi, when you disconnected the purple cable and the wide rectangular cable from the old display, can you please tell me where did you attached the rectangular one? I have no place on my new display so I can't get the original bmw system screen, only the android one.
Just bought the android auto for my 2015 BMW F10. I'm having a hard time trying to find someone that will install the unit. How long would you say max to install this unit?
Hi I did it exactly like you however my problem is that I cant return to the Original OS to make the last adjustments there (Audio Output). The OG Radio is playing but I cant make it output from Screen (I mean the screens commands and then outputting in Car Audio of course). Long Press on Menu gets me a blackscreen and so does the menu point "MyCar" Any idea?
Did you have to do anything to allow voice commands to work? I have looked at other upgrades and you had to wire in another microphone and speaker to allow the phone to work properly. Sorry if I'm repeating a question which may have been asked below. Great video! Thanks.
I had this and the mic installed today and it works fine with this system…the Bluetooth audio does act up once every 20 starts but that’s easily fixed by manually connecting
Nice video. I am thinking about to buy this product. I want to ask, how is the microphone performed? Did you install a separate microphone? Is it possible to use the factory equipped microphone for phone call when connecting the carplay or android auto?
HI, great walkthrough!!! If you wouldn't mind answering a silly question, what did you plug that black plug from the screen into @ 4:19. Thanks in advance
Would really be nice if you can make a review video after using it for 1 year. I am planning to buy one but Ive seen many videos where some say it’s excellent and others say its horrible. Cant make my mind
I've been using mine for a little over a 6 months. The cable they provided to interface with the car has an intermittent short where I lose the right channel speakers. I've mostly fixed the issue because they wanted to charge me $35 to ship a cable out. There were a lot of firmware issues that have mostly been corrected with the last update they pushed to me. It's been a bit of a headache but I'm happy now that it is working. I love having wireless apple carplay and a bigger touchscreen but it's not perfect.
Have you ever used the USB cables that are attached to the device? I'm just about to mount a screen in my car and don't really know where to take them out. In the passenger compartment? I don't want them sticking out into the interior somewhere.
Thanks. I want to have my reverse camera available as soon as the car starts. Does the device need to 'boot' for a while when you start the car? How long does that take?
No, it doesn't require the Android unit to boot first. The camera will use the BMW mode to display the camera instantly. Android unit takes about 20 seconds to fully boot.
Awesome video. Thinking about getting this from China since I'm Chinese. FYI the unit is $260 on Chinese platforms, and I'm gonna spend $20 to ship it to Canada with UPS.
still love it. very occasionally it’ll cut out or have trouble connecting to apple carplay but i’ll turn off the car and it’ll work again on the next startup
i don’t know i’m not affiliated with the company that made the screen i just saw another person recommend so i bought it too. i’m sure there’s some update i can do to the app that does the carplay but it hasn’t bugged be enough to look into it.
@@Krowicki Hi, can you remove the trim below the screen while the screen is installed? because i want to replace my start button and i would remove the trim in order to do that will the screen be in the way when removing the trim because it's like you will hit the screen when trying to removing the trim
Hi I have just fitted the same screen and setup android auto but it is not showing full screen/filling the screen as yours is, any idea what I need to do ? Cheers John
Hey John I forget exactly how I did it but I do remember that the support team of the company I bought this head unit from was super helpful and had an answer to all my questions
I had a pretty bad glare the first day I had it but I went to the settings on the screen and adjusted the brightness and its been fine since. My car is also tinted which makes the glare not as bad
HI, have you same issues with the steering wheel controls? When i try to use them, i get an error in my dashbaord, "steeringwheel controls disabled in aux mode"
same thing here. it's because in the earlier f10's that use the cic system you have to use aux for the system to work and the car doesn't allow steering wheel control skips and rewinds for aux
you get this sorted out. I was also wondering where the black connection was to be placed on the new unit. I installed my 12.3 yesterday and I am several issues. No sound, no backup camera, no original screen menu.
@@miguelhobando it still works, you will see the lane you need to be/turns in on your hud but you won't see the old navigation images on the new screen if your on carplay, it works with it "off". Everything works fine with both systems installed.
How does the original phone call function on the steering wheel work after this install? Do the contacts still show up on the screen on the instrument cluster so you can scroll through your last calls etc? Does it sync with the new screen? Very curious!
@@markgombkoto2089 It doesn’t work because he didn’t plug in the aftermarket mic. You can still use the steering wheel controls if you leave the original bmw system in Bluetooth mode.
@@Krowicki how the android working so far I install my android but when I go to check oil and all that show no signal can u let us know please thank you
Love it, honestly one of the best aftermarket steros I've installed in a car. The only negative thing I can say is i've been told during phone calls that the audio quality from my end isn't that great.
Hey I'm looking to buy the same screen from 4x4 auto. They have some sketchy reviews, so I'm wondering how the monitor has been working so far? Also how did you ensure you recieved the right chip?
you can verify it in the android settings for the unit. my units been great so far I've had it for only a couple weeks. My only complaint is I wish android auto / apple carplay started faster. it takes like at least 30 seconds after starting the car for that to get worming but other than that I've been super happy with it
@@Krowicki Hey thanks for the reply. I was also wondering what impact it had on your sound? My F10 came with the regular speakers and I upgraded them to the Focals. I would hate to spend more money on screen at the expense of my music listening quality
@@charlesmakes6520 If you're a big music guy, yes. I just did the front door speakers and the two subs under the front seats. I also put a 10" in the trunk to add base because even with the focal upgrade, the base was lacking. Hope that helps.
@@Benny-zo3qh how the oem sccren working to check oil and all that I install my android at same way but when I try to go check my oil saying no signal android menu working fine just oem one show no signal
Can you pls share the password, it should be the same for all. I lost mine and dont even know anymore the manufacturer but its the same size and same interface. Pls help
