Android side issues
I've been using a BMW F30 Ugode android unit (7.1) for almost a year and it's been working fine but recently it started to get errors like in the attached picture. Sometimes it shows 'No Signal' but usually it's a graphic error like the picture. It seems to happen a lot if I start Waze to quickly after it boots but it also happens randomly every day.
The BMW iDrive part works perfectly when I switch and even the Android side works because I can hear the music, change it, I hear Waze instructions. If I turn off and on the ignition it works again. Any idea how to fix this? Any way to reboot the system without turning off the ignition switch? |

you will find a tiny hole at the back side of the unit, this is for the reset button.
use some paperclip put straight into the hole to press the reset button. sincerely Chri |

Hi,
Looking at getting one of these for my F31 NBT but just wanted a couple of questions answered before I went ahead with it. If I choose not to connect the Bluetooth on the android side and I make or receive a call, will it (A) notify me of the incoming call and (B) allow me to answer the call via the steering wheel switch without taking it off the android. I have had android units on previous cars and would prefer to keep the to BMW phone system and mic as it works very well. Also, do BMW say it invalidates the warranty. I have just extended my warranty for another year and don't want any problems if I need to take it in. Thanks Last edited by 678hug; 06-15-2019 at 07:03 AM.. |

Greetings to all, my name is Raúl I write from Spain, I read you for a long time since you do a great job. In order not to stretch out I'll get to the point, I've installed a 10.25 "PX3 screen and when updating the MCU I converted it from NTB to CIC, so the OEM side does not work for me, could someone please provide this file?

About warranty what I know is that if BMW proves that a "foreign" system caused the problem, obviously the warranty for the damaged part is void, but if it has nothing to do with that, they repair in warranty. Last edited by antonius2018; 06-15-2019 at 12:54 PM.. |

Hi all,
I have the PX6 model from AliExpress. I've been trying to get a bluetooth module/dongle/something working on it with no luck. The device has a built-in bluetooth module, which is only available for phone calls and streaming music. I want the full bluetooth function in order to connect to apps like Torque. I stripped the unit and removed the onboard bluetooth module (my desoldering was really bad, but the device still starts and works perfectly without the module). For interests sake, the module is has "FSC-BT510 v1.0" printed on it and has dedicated audio pins on it. I've tried a few bluetooth dongles on the device, both before and after removing the above module, with no luck. The device doesn't detect it as a bluetooth device in the android system. I have recently bought an HC-05 module along with the USB to serial cable and being trying to see if that gets detected as a bluetooth module. It seems like the HC-05 is used on Arduino devices, but not really on Android!? I can get into the terminal mode via the USB to serial cable and send it various "AT" commands that i have googled, but that's about it (by now you probably realized that i'm clueless to this and i'm randomly trying stuff and failing). So, i have another car with a full replacement Android unit (not the piggyback system on these units) and it has 2 bluetooth related apps.. 1 for the bluetooth audio, and another dedicated to the OBD2 bluetooth pairing. This makes me suspect that there is some sort of app out there that uses the HC-05 (or similar) for data transfers in android... i'm still searching, but please feel free to end my pain if you have an app i can use for this? Also, if you have any other means for me to create full bluetooth functionality on he device (please bear in mind that i have removed the bluetooth module that came in the unit) My unit is: PX6 Android 8.1.0 2GB Ram MCU Ver 615043bALS-NBT-HW7-190320[B1280_170325] |

Just one other thing, what notification do you receive when you are on the Android side and a call comes in. Is it just the audio ringtone or is there an additional screen alert. Thanks |

Nothing happens on the Android side, I get the name of the caller (if it is in my contacts list) or his phone number in the area on the dashboard were the mileage is shown and I can accept or reject the call via the central button on the right side of the steering wheel (the one that rotates). With the same button we can also navigate along the last calls received and dial any of them if we want to. |

Don`t know if it`s from AVIN or from the original developer from China, i have it from here.
I think as long as it has the same Framework / CPU it probably will work, but i`m not that anroid guy to know how compatible different images are between hardware. maybe only the evencenter.apk testing will be a saver method ? sincerely Chri |

No it has not. That is your rear camera brightness, and it is not modifyable through an intent. It also has been in the software since the start.

The upper is with 0% the lower with 100%, you can see that the whole display brightness is different, its even more in real life. The Brightness level is on every screen then, its not only on camera. I don`t know why they have made it under the Camera settings, its wrong there. sincerely Chri |
