How To Install Android Head Unit For BMW X5 E70 & E71 X6 - The Ultimate Multimedia System 

I was really impressed with how original the system felt when it was installed. A highly recommended upgrade for these cars!

Glad I could help!

legend, thanks for the support!

Ccc fitted vehicles have 2 aux ports depending on config from the factory. One port is direct in the back of the ccc. The other through the mulf module. The vehicles with it direct to ccc do not need the cable

@@ZeroTo60Tube I had the same thought, thanks!

How would I know if mine has a direct aux in the back ?

the wood is always a nice touch 👌

Mine CCC doesn't work do you know what CAN do you choose from the menu

My CCC worked out of the box, except I did have to change the resolution to one that looked right since it had a smaller factory screen

Not to my knowledge. You will need to get the unit swapped if you have the wrong one.

How is your audio? Mine is ok - there is always a buzzing sound

@@AM4project audio is clear as a bell

@@stevebaptie1156 i wish mine was clear, im running the 3.5 jack into the center armrest jack input, whats your setup

@@AM4project I have done the same. Have you changed over your original system to Auxiliary?

@@AM4project have you changed the original sound system over to auxiliary?

I’m having the same problem

???

Just in the passengers foot well tucked up out of the way

Hi There, unforutately i didnt have anything to do with this one. David who is in the video is no longer at zeroto60

Ahhh that makes sense, would be a handy little feature.

@@ZeroTo60Tube only if you use the inbuilt maps. If you use android auto or apple CarPlay it doesn’t work. Not on my unit anyway. I guess if you hotspot your phone to the unit then it could be used but I just like CarPlay

Hey Darryl how was the installation? Did everything work like you want it to? I'm looking to buy one

@@taylorsons4303 Hey Taylor, installation was easy. Took me about 12mins to install. Amazingly simply. Just make sure you have a Phillips screw driver and a plastic tool to careful unclip the bottom cover part. Just to make sure you don't scratch anything.

@@darrylheather5512 Thanks bro I've just installed my an hour ago but the back up cam doesn't show. I put it on oem settings still no video..smh

@@taylorsons4303 my reverse camera doesn't work, but then, I'm from the old school where I use the side mirrors, rear view mirror along with the sensors, beeping me when I'm too close. The graphics for those are on my screen though. I haven't taken the time to look at the wires for this. I should, but haven't yet.

@@darrylheather5512 I know right. I actually got it to work 💯

Never response what waste just likes your comments unsubscribe

1. I have the same issue with the idrive picure being larger then the screen. I have tried all of the different factory car screen settings with no joy did you find a solution? 2. You need to have the additional 3.5mm audio cable plugged into the outlet in your armrest and have the idrive set to AUX source 3. change setting to original camera not aftermarket

Try connect an AUX for it.

Try to reset your unit or get a firmware update from your supplier.

@@hhuhhd Thanks for your reply, turns out my oem camera was broken. Fixed it by installing and aftermarket camera. Happy days :)

@@ChrisTranRocks Did the aftermarket camera improve picture quality?

@@tshepp89 oh yeah! Huge difference, it was worth running that extra cable to the rear of the car. Much clearer now. 👍

@@ChrisTranRocks cool! I'll have to look into it! Cheers

ensure your aux cable is super duper high quality, use a voltmeter and check resistance at each end wiggling it all over. IMO, 5 out of 10 brand new unbranded aux cables are trash. get a name branded and heavily shielded cable from a guitar center or similar, and only buy the absolutely shortest cable you need. -check it isn't pinched anywhere - check it isn't running alongside ANY other cables, especially power cables. -set aux output on phone/mp3 at about 50% or maximum 65% volume and turn off all modifications aside from Dolby if you want. no sound effects, EQ, bass amplifier etc. set aux input gain at radio. this high level aux input in a perfect world sucks at best so keep expectations moderate. there shouldn't be any clipping or popping and if there is, replace cable and ENSURE they are inserted tightly! for example, a modern Android phone running RU-vid audio should be 80% perfect between 0 and 50% on head unit volume. above that, your going to amp engine noise and crap to some degree. if you want to avoid the issue, run line level audio (ipod cable output to a ipod ready player is line level..i.e. preset low voltage level...same as the voltage between Bluetooth devices..l...I'd use a quality Bluetooth device and ditch the aux cable, however, I do use a 3.5mm monster cable aux cable (10mm thick cable) and keep level under 60% so my typical listening level at radio (30-60%) is pretty damn good. ...also, any whine from ignition and either cable IA grounded to Chassis somewhere, bad cable, other speaker wire grounded somewhere etc. start by laying aux cable in a different route to see if it goes away.

Yeah not bad idea

@@ZeroTo60Tube be a good vid to do👍

Likely your new unit is looking for a different style of idrive knob, also your aux settings might not be correct

Did you ever replace the unit if so what did you go with

This is an xtrons, it is a few years old now tho........

Hidden menu. Advanced settings protected by password: there u go

How do we get it up lol

This one is a 2007 or 2008 from memory.

yes I wonder the same thing. I saw on another type of these MMI upgrades that FM AM radio was no longer useable after the conversion and the current car speaker phone microphone no longer worked. I wonder if that is the case with this unit too?

@@Ensignpeak after 2 months I know what happens. Yes playing into aux in armrest will mix with android. FM does play if you go into the CCC menu and choose it. Simply put, android outputs audio into aux. Nothing else is affected in any way, sound wise. It's like plugging your phone or a ipod. Regarding video, it displays its own video output on its screen, but you can choose to see the CCC menu if you like, and that's it. Nothing is adversely affected in any way. Only better things on top of what you already have. I have one such top of the line unit for sale if anyone is interested, 10.25", 8gb, 128gb, shipping worldwide.

No it will not. It needs the factory aux input working. It also uses the factory idrive controller.

May need to verify how your cars aux works. If you have a mulf module in the boot, you will need to connect directly to the 3.5mm aux port

What brand was that so I stay away?

It is impossible know before the fitting, for most cars made before 2014 you will need it

pretty much exactly the same

no

It will likely be to do with the settings for phone calls.

The xtrons connects to the factory ccc's aux in connection. So the CCC still does all the sound work.

Good question as the x5 sound system and amp sounds excellent !! Great stock sub as well I recon

It’s just the led getting caught out by the camera refresh rate. It’s not actually flashing to the human eye.

You will likely have a different aux setup. You can code the CCC to accept the front aux, or you will need the aux to the centre console.

Yes it will

yes

It will bluetooth audio to both. You will need an addon for carplay and android auto.

yes
