And here is a shot showing the OEM PDC screen (not my Z4).
Shows up very nicely, I'll be changing my aftermarket rear sensors to front/rear OEM PDC in the coming months (as well as changing the reversing camera to a licence plate centrally located one instead of the light position) and I'll upload it to my YouTube channel as a full How-To as well.

Nice Dave, it would be great if you post it.
BTW, do you have an idea of the best camera? I'have recieved mine some weeks ago and I'love this tablet, it works great, but for unknown reason, you can't manually enable the bluetooth in the settings (it stays on OFF whatever you're doing) So, any apps which need to activate bluetooth isn't working I've been looking into the factory settings, the bluetooth codec and versions... but nope, dosen't work If you have an idea guys, or know of this problem, tell me please =) |

Yeahhh that works ! =) Thanks a lot Dave !
Like an idiot I've done a factory reset (I'have removed the SD card before so it's okay) Now it works with my phone, although not for the apps downloaded from playstore like ZUS app or Btoolkit |

The knock-off iDrive controller looks pretty, but works crap. I never use it.
Mostly the wireless CarPlay works well. Just make sure to install the software linked on the product box. And then make sure to update the app and box within the app's setup options. You do need to do DavesZed's android music app up and down on the steering wheel and then return to main screen, then load the CarPlay app workaround - in order to be able to "next track / previous track" with the steering wheel. The music playback jitters very slightly every minute or so. I think this is a problem for many CarPlay setups though. Overall, very pleased. It is great to not to have to take my phone out of my pocket, yet still get apple CarPlay on the nav. *** Just don't try to use wireless charging in an enclosed space (arm rest / glove box). Your phone will overheat and glitch hardcore. Wired charging (arm rest / glove box) works fine. Quote:

1) Post what? 2) Do you mean dashcam? If you do then I have a generic Mini 0906 front and rear camera from eBay and connected via a ParkingGuard system hardwired into the fusebox with a switched and permanent feed.

but if I use the Headunit Reloaded app for my Samsung (Android Auto emulator, alas not for CarPlay) it runs perfectly smooth, so it's definitely a problem with the box side of it. It doesn't matter which one you buy either as all of the boxes do it!

Hmm… I don't think the knock-off iDrive controller even works in CarPlay (100% of my use). If I think of it, I'll try changing tracks or something.

Quick question, how are updates provided for? Been looking through XDA, but not sure if the regular rockchip files would work

Not really sure what you mean here. Do you mean if you turn the rotary controller it doesn't do anything? If so in what screen are you using it? What are you trying to do?

They are specific depending on the screen you have received. Android 8.1 (this will ONLY work if it's 8.1) This is the one I received from the manufacturers, I've had it on mine for the last six months and have found the following "issues" with it.... 1) You loose the "door open" indication. 2) You loose the way to change the brightness of the screen. 3) If you use the ID7 visuals then there are sometimes problems scrolling with the rotary controller from the side (vertical) bar to the main tabs. Sometimes it did it on mine but most of the time it wouldn't so you have to press the screen instead. Personally I believe this "update" was rushed out just to match the new BMW's. On my Dropbox here >> https://www.dropbox.com/s/a9kwwpuwy2...files.rar?dl=0 The second is Android 9 (again this will ONLY work if its a 9 unit It can be found here >> https://www.dropbox.com/s/kebhmibhhu...files.rar?dl=0 Both versions are zipped so will need unzipping (only the main package zip, not the internal zip file). Please note - Follow the instructions, they are correct!! I know because the original instructions I received were NOT correct so this is the right way to do it from experience!! Both files also contain the MCU files, these also need updating so that you can retain certain functions. Please do not say "this is missing" and "I can't do that" if you have not updated the MCU file. Disclaimer** You do this at your own risk! I am not responsible for any problems that may arise from this update.

Thanks Dave for your information. I've installed the Android 9 10.25" system and it works well + Carplay on my E89 28i.
I nevertheless have a remaining issue: When I start my car, the screen displays the OEM screen and not the android one. Is there a way to switch that: see the android boot screen instead of OEM ? |

Into Settings, Factory settings (1314 OK)..... You could go down to "Vehicle Information Settings" (left of screen) and look at "Mode Memory" and try it in the "ON" setting and see if that makes a difference. Otherwise it may be one of the strangely named settings within the "Arm setting" section. I would suggest only trying one thing at a time. Once you have activated a setting you need to turn the car of completely for 15 seconds and then back on and see, this way it clears any current setting. Yes it could be a long process of elimination but alas the only way to find out. But if I do find out in the meantime I'll post back

On another point there will be no more updates for the 8.1 units and reading between the lines I doubt there will be anymore for the 9 now as the Android 10 units are on the market.

I've tried every single options I've found in my version. MCU Version: 615043bALS-CIC-HW7-190628 APP Version: 2019092801T_1280x480_970 But the iDrive System is still booting first... > It is necessary to do a long press in the Menu button to see android boot animation.

Your app version looks like one of the last versions (September 28th 2019), I'll try to get the customer to send me the info of his update as I didn't keep a record of it (it wasn't for updating, he had a fault which the re-install cured)

Just figured I'd update on the audio playback jitters with the wireless CarPlay adapter: with the most recent update to the "box" software update and firmware update - it seems to be much better. I used the built-in app update functionality within the "AutiKit" app.
