Just saw that Mr. 12 Volt is now offering an NBT MMI. Audi and Porsche folks recommend them often.

So I just finished installing the Road Top box on my car with HU_ENTRY, got the "CIC High 6-pin" variant, which turns out to be just the NBT version.
So far everything seems to work out of the box, audio passthrough works through the quadlock and didn't need to use the Aux Cable, even microphone seems to all work (I couldn't confirm whether it was pulling audio from the phone or the car's mic, though). I'm primarily using this for Wireless Android Auto, however connectivity seems a bit finnicky. Android Auto starts fine on my primary phone (Motorola ThinkPhone with Android 14), but refuses to start on my backup (Motorola One Hyper with Android 11). It connects to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, but when Android tries to start, either I get stuck on the waiting for device to connect screen or I get "failed to recognize device". Haven't tried wired Android Auto though. Phone tries to reconnect via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and seems to keep looping on that. Furthermore, I'm noticing if I don't start the car and just the radio, Android Auto doesn't seem to want to connect either. When I start Android Auto when the car is off it prompts me to stop YouTube (the app on the box, not my phone), but then I also get stuck on the waiting on device screen when this happens. Anyone seen something similar? |

previous situation in the quote, now it's like this: SDK Version: 25.0.0.7.0.0.2.0 CUST Version: EW_B2_1.6.16_n MCU Version: 23.1.12.117 HW Version: B_N2_1_G what i did was to install the MCU update first, and then directly the ISPBOOT of the last version directly, all went fine! all seems better now, faster navigation in android auto, more fluid i mean, and the audio is much much better if i connect to the mmi box bluetooth --> it's the same loudness of the radio, so i dont have to reduce the volume each time i get a phone call!!! niiiiiceee; bluetooth of the car seems lower quality in the end, i think they improved a lot the EQ of the box; therefore i still use AUX mode in the car to listen to spotify for instance |

Got my Roadtop MMI installed yesterday on my HU_CIC 6pin head unit that is NBT version. Everything seems to work ok except the Audio. Iv got no wireless Audio. I swapped the Green fiber optic cables as well to main block and still nothing. What has me boggled The roadtop harness comes with a aux wire coming out there harness not a usb as mentioned in OP. Anytime i try to play spotify music it will send signal to my phone and the phone starts playing the music itself.. When i connect to the usb in armrest and set the idrive to usb it will play the music through the car speakers but only if the phone is plugged in.. Do i really have to run this aux cable from the harness to the glove box like the manual mentions? Thought the aux was included in the quad block but this harness def has a AUX wire that is designed to go to ur armrest input…..

https://mega.nz/file/61IQTDqJ#cJ_ESk...fCQypaHzBSineY But to be honest, after I updated the MCU with this, my car controls both the MMI as well as car's system at the same time no matter what is on the screen, soooo... |

pacstealer Not sure what is unclear. When you switch between car's infotainment and MMI the control knob and steering wheel buttons are supposed control only the system which is displayed on the screen. At least that's how it should behave.
After I updated from 21.6.7.116 (which was working as intended) to 23.1.12.117, both the knob as well as steering wheel buttons control both systems at the same time, so e.g. when I move up in the car's infotainment, it moves up in the MMI GUI as well, when I want to check my tire pressure it also stops a music played via MMI, etc. |

As far as i know, no. It seems the bluetooth connection of the OEM iDrive "steals" the voice button. You can use "hey siri / hey google" or long press the idrive controller. Maybe you give a try for calls with the mmi box and use the auto calibrate option during a call (ex. mailbox) and use a litte bit louder volume. Change the volume -/+ as long as the result from the auto calibrate is 100 %. Works for me without issue (no echo) since weeks, never used OEM bluetooth again. The only point, you can not use the shortcuts 1 to 8 for phone numbers and some phone functions on the cluser. |

As a side note, the dpi values change the size of the screen elements and they also trigger changes in the layout. For example, in the attached pic the eta bar at the bottom is displayed much smaller than usual after increasing the dpi on my Carlinkit unit. |

Is there anyway to change the DPI setting for the Roadtop MMI? I assume you've repackaged your own firmware for your Carlinkit version? |

I also have a problem with the volume over BT. Music volume is fine when playing by itself. Speech (eg driving directions) are fine when playing by themselves. But when music is on and speech is on both play at a low volume. In AUX it works fine -- the music becomes faint and speech plays at regular volume when both happen; but this isn't happening with BT. I emailed Roadtop and they were researching it.

i transfered the green Fiber optic cables to the quadlock that goes in the back of the HU but the ROADTOP harness has a AUX plug that there Directions say needs to be plugged into the armrest Aux? After a little research I Think having a HU_CIC on the NBT setup The Quadlock doesnt have an aux built in.. I dropped the aux wire behind the unit and to the side ran it under the trim to the middle armrest and up through the aux/usb block so its completly hidden except the plug itself plugging into the aux.... It works flawless now every startup..

EDIT: So apparently it DOES work. However, it fails to detect if it's at night and the headlights are already on. I have to switch off and on my headlights (I usually leave mine at on), then it detects it correctly. Last edited by ToniCipriani; 03-31-2024 at 03:13 PM.. |
