this video was a godsend.. i was looking at other installs and they kept having dipswitches 1-3 as on and the rest to off and i was getting an orange screen. seeing this issue fixed mine. Thanks

@@coleyuhas7891 I did just in case, but my idrive uses the large connector. The only thing I was confused about was which 4 pin to plug into on the other end. Low speed can or high speed can

@coleyuhas7891 3 года назад

ryanjv ahh ok so I’m not really sure which is which but Ik that the wire you connect to your I-drive controller harness is the wire that comes with the mic aux connection and the one that you plug is the wire that comes alone with nothing else. Hope this helps!

Cole Yuhas Hey this is what my screen is doing. It basically does this totally randomly 3 times in a row and then it’s alright for 20-30 mins and then does it again 3 times. Also the frequency of it doing that increases if I use google maps or extensively use the CarPlay. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EtFQwbcDERU.html. Road Top customer service told me the exact same thing you mentioned that it was from the iDrive harness. I installed the harness only for troubleshooting the iDrive controller. I don’t think that’s related to screen losing signal as you said that once in your previous comments. I can try it tomorrow using CarPlay through the usb cable to confirm the loss of signal. I have contacted and sent the video to road too as well waiting for them to reply.

@coleyuhas7891 3 года назад

RAS My screen blacks out for longer like 15 seconds ds

@ras7287 3 года назад

Cole Yuhas Oh like completely blacked out and takes ages to come back on? Mine was doing that too. In that case maybe the harness might help! It hasn’t happened to me since I installed the harness but this is what is still happening to the screen randomly.

@kaischug8203 3 года назад

Hi Cole, thanks very much for the video -- was a big help for installation !!! Question for everybody here, how is the audio quality with the roadtop in your car (connected via the aux cable) ? I have the impression for my car there is some bandwith limitation...

@coleyuhas7891 3 года назад

Kai Schug I was worried about that too! But the wired quality is the exact same. And the wireless CarPlay compared to the Bluetooth on the car sounds a littler bit better then oem. If the quality sounds bad when using CarPlay then it’s because your idrive volume controller for aux devices needs to be half way, but other then that it sounds great.

@coleyuhas7891 3 года назад

Also make sure you watch my second video which wires the idrive controller correctly

@kaischug8203 3 года назад

Just checked the cables, the labels look different to the ones you show in your 2nd video (I have the CIC version). There are two different options to connect: one for high speed CAN bus one for low speed can bus, you know which to use for F07 car ?

@coleyuhas7891 3 года назад

Kai Schug I have the CIC as well how are the wires different? The only wires that should be different are the idrive controller wires as you either use the big connecter or the small connector. I couldn’t tell you the idrive controller wire you use but you will clearly see when you go to install it.

@EEsteves-pb6fh 4 месяца назад

I saw a post saying in the new firmware you dont need microphone plug its all by bluethooth can you confirm that?

@teboholenyatsa3746 2 года назад

Great video, planning to buy this on Amazon soon for my F30 with CIC and I'm definitely going to keep referring to this video as a guide. Regarding the mic installation, does the installation of the new mic cable not affect the functionality of the OEM telephone feature? Or will the mic still support the standard telephone connection (let's say if i don't want to use the Road Top Android auto)

@coleyuhas7891 2 года назад

Right so the mic will still support the functionality of the original telephone if you install it with the second video I made or the way I did it in the first video. One thing I would keep in mind is the button on the steering wheel when using the CarPlay activates both most times but if your not using CarPlay it won’t be connected so it won’t be an issue. My way around this is when using CarPlay I hold the center button down and it activates Siri. But yes originally function of the car will be obtained as if you didn’t install it.

@coleyuhas7891 2 года назад

Also when installing you need to watch my second video regarding the control module as you need to set up the harness for that unlike what I said in this video.

@teboholenyatsa3746 2 года назад

Noted, thanks your prompt response and clarity provided, i also watched the second video.

Hola buenas, me va lento el menú del carplay, por que puede ser debido?? Gracias

@patricknef2294 4 года назад

Hi Cole, Thanks for the excellent video detailing the install. I could not have done it without it. i do however have a few issues. I didn’t connect the idrive harness as you described as I had a 4 pin connector. I didn’t know what to do with the MIC cable as I had nowhere to connect it to the other harnesses or the carplay box. How does it work then if its not connected. I see you brought the mic out need the steering wheel but you didn’t show or detail where you connected it to or what you did? You did mention something but could couldn’t understand it. My main issues are 1. When I receive a call and I answer it through the carplay (steering wheel or the idrive button), it disconnects automatically and drops the call. Even is it connects sometimes I CAN hear the caller but they CAN NOT hear me. I always have to answer the call from my iphone connected to the car Bluetooth for it to work. I suspected it has something to do with the unconnected MIC. I thought the carplay uses the car built-in mic. I have the speech and call buttons my steering wheel just like your video. 2.On entering the car, My phone keeps connecting to the Bluetooth on my phone instead of the car play and I always have to switch it back to carplay when am driving for music to resume playing. 3. Siri does NOT work. When i press the steering wheel button to activate Siri, the car speech recognition answers instead and I can not give carplay instructions like switching tracks! May be something to do with the unconnected MIC too. How does yours work? 4. I also notified that sometimes when I turn the iDrive Nob it sometimes increases and decreases the volume of the music ??!! 5. The dash board skip track buttons to the right of the CD/DVD slot, seems to work in opposite directions. The right button goes to previous track and the left button skips the track to the next one. Any help to address these issues will be a great. Thanks in advance for your help. It’s very exciting to see how nice the carplay is. Just want to get the functioning working well

@coleyuhas7891 4 года назад

Patrick Nef Ok is your mic like mine is it a weird square piece? What system did you buy is it road top? The mic should be a very short cable, that connects to one of the like four connectors that runs down to a small jack completely separate from the one you plugged into the center glove box. After you plug the mic into one of those I believe 4 connectors the jack that runs down should be plugged into the jack plug on the harness.

@coleyuhas7891 4 года назад

Also, what do you mean it connects Bluetooth when you get in? Do you mean it connects to the car? If so you need to delete your phone on bluetooth. And I set my aux so that when you click my radio preset button it connects to aux so I can switch between radio and CarPlay. Also feel free to email me your mic and any wires you don’t know where to put. Coleyuhas6@gmail.com

Hi, very helpful! One more question: Do you sometimes miss a touchscreen for using Carplay? How do you enter an address for navigation? Is there a keyboard appearing where you navigate through the keys using the iDrive knob? And if so, is it annoying? Can you also enter an address using the iPhone?

@coleyuhas7891 Год назад

Hi, there never was a touchscreen to begin with. Everything about the navigation is the same, just hold the button to get to the old screen.

@@coleyuhas7891 sorry, I guess you misunderstood my bad English. I know there is no touchscreen. Therefore, I am asking what is it like to operate the CarPlay system without one, but only with the idrive controller?

@jsj555 4 года назад

Excellent video. Got a question regarding the idrive controller though. Does it need to be connected to the mmi unit? If yes when connected to the main harness what connects to the other end ? Thanks

@coleyuhas7891 4 года назад

Jas J I was confused by this, as I didn’t need the harness. What I would recommend is that if you look under the i-drive controller you will be able to see if you don’t have a four pin connection I would try to plug the I-drive harness into the I drive then the main harness. The other end of the harness I’m guessing might not need to be plugged in to anything if the I-drive harness doesn’t connect to both ends of the main harness in the first place, but I’m thinking the i-drive harness should connect to both connections on the main harness.

@coleyuhas7891 4 года назад

And if you have a four pin connection you should be fine with not using that I-drive harness. But let me know what your situation is.

@coleyuhas7891 4 года назад

Also remember trial and error isn’t so bad as long as you’re not doing something that would put the signal into a different direction.

@coleyuhas7891 4 года назад

Also your mmi kit might not even come with this harness keep in mind.

@ras7287 3 года назад

Hey Awesome video. Plannning to buy one. However, I'm confused why you had to connect the cable to the Aux port and also why can't we use the factory mic? Is there no way to connect the factory mic with an extended cable or something?

@coleyuhas7891 3 года назад

RAS The aux cable connects to the system as it’s an aux device it’s just the way it is you can’t not use it or there will be no sound. And NO SYSTEMS us the factory mic as it’s clearly not really possible. And the aux cable needs to be squeezed through from the radio and it’s hard but defiantly possible.

@ras7287 3 года назад

Cole Yuhas Thanks for the swift response! Ah okay I get it. What about the USB port on the Drivers side what’s that for? Does that replace the USB port in the hand rest or the one in the dash board? Also I watched the video a few times still can’t figure where you places the module after connecting.

@coleyuhas7891 3 года назад

RAS the usb is for plugging in your phone to charge or to use to connect to CarPlay without wireless. Honestly there’s not a certain spot you have to put the module, but there’s space where you can shove it behind the screen.

@ras7287 3 года назад

Cole Yuhas Thanks a lot for your support! Really appreciate it. Probably gonna get one soon. I think it’s been a month since you installed it. How is it? Are there any issues? I saw a few people posting regarding the other person not being able to hear during a call and the scroll wheel not working. Kindly advise :)

@coleyuhas7891 3 года назад

RAS yeah no problems really one time it shut down for a few seconds because it lost wireless connection but really no problems otherwise. And the scroll wheel doesn’t work for me at least but I didn’t expect it to as it’s impossible for it to recognize an aux that’s not connected to it I drive, volume and voice activation is enough especially for $300 you can’t get to picky.

@coleyuhas7891 3 года назад

Greg Vining I have never had that happen to me, but first thing I would do is set a radio preset for aux this way you can switch to CarPlay audio without switching to the oem system. Then I would update your software by putting in your vin on the bmw website, downloading the software to a hard drive the plugging it into your center console.

The screen keeps going off after every 5 mins and after 15-20 mins of operation it goes black then comes on after 5 mins. It’s like it’s refreshing or something. I have the settings on the road top with the 3,4 switch down. Do you reckon it will fix with changing it to 1,2,3? 2. While I’m using the CarPlay area or the road top GUI the iDrive mouse is also working in the background on the OEM iDrive GUI. So for example I am doing something in CarPlay let’s say on the google maps it’ll start doing the same thing in the iDrive and then suddenly you’ll realize that it took you to radio mode. It’s kinda annoying tbh. Could you let me know if these problems happened with you or anyone else on here and if so what was the fix? Thanks

RAS I’ve heard people with this problem, and recently I’ve notice it happen a couple times but not every 15 min and only when I first start my car it’s happened like 3 times, and I originally thought it was because it was too hot or something so when my car cools down it stops, it’s scary as shit too when it goes black you think that your car just died at first. I thought maybe it was just me, very upset to hear this, and Never had the radio problem but what I would recommend is that you set a preset for aux so that when you switch to apple CarPlay it doesn’t switch audio. As of know I will get in contact with the company and recommend that you set the aux to a preset and disconnect your battery and reconnect it.

RAS Also do you think it’s because it wirelessly connected or are you plugged in, I’m never connected and I think that maybe it might just be loosing connection? So I’ll I’ve to connect with my Apple cord and see if it does this and if it does not I will most likely move my antenna and get the box in a cooler part.

*never connected by the cord is what I meant.

Cole Yuhas Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. How can I preset it at Aux? Sorry a noob question but haven’t done this before. Also for me the screen dies but if there’s a song playing it’ll continue playing so I really doubt it’s losing connection. I’ve connected wireless and if you really wanna check if it’s losing connection trying playing a song on RU-vid. I did it and the screen just goes off or restarts a few times but the song is continuously playing.

RAS hold the radio button down when you get to the aux page
