I think you need the iDrive controller that you can buy with the Android units. Contact the seller and ask for such an iDrive controller.
You can not connect an original iDrive controller. Cars with original iDrive have a different Head Unit, which the Android unit connects to. It will be far too much job retrofitting CCC or CIC for this. |

Your car doesn't have CCC, as I understand you. In that case you will have to replace your Head Unit with a CCC unit if you want the original iDrive controller. A better solution for you is to buy the iDrive controller that is supplied with some Android units. Check the harness from the Android unit, is there a cable labeled X1? This is for connecting this (not BMW original) iDrive controller.

Hi!
Have you been able to solve this issue? I got the same one, and mixer_path is also the same. I've spent a lot of hours trying to boost mic volume but without luck... Quote:

Hi dear F30 community,
I've registered here because I'm a little desperate right now. I bought a replacement head unit (display). It runs on Android and loops the signal of the normal radio. Therefore you can use Android and BMW NBT at the same time. I bought the device mainly for retrofitting Apple Car Play. The radio is a harman hb b069. I wanted to have the device installed in a garage first, but then I decided to install the device myself. I used this installation video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?spm=a2...&v=p6qCfTQaKN4 Well, I got down to work. Step by step everything was fine. I then finally connected everything and checked the functionality before finally reinstalling everything. It all worked. Greats But then there were problems with the space behind the radio unit. Everything just didn't fit from the place anymore. Then I tried to move everything a bit and press it to make it fit. You could still hear the radio unit humming a bit. So there was electricity on it. Then it suddenly stopped and everything was dead. Means the radio unit and the display simply remained silent. Nothing works anymore. So suddenly there seems to be no more electricity on it. Now I was fast at a garage and had the fuses checked quickly. They say that everything looks fine. Now I stand here and nothing works anymore. The air conditioner display, the cigarette lighter etc. has electricity. Just the radio unit no longer. I also rebuilt everything and connected the original screen. That didn't help either. Now I wanted to test whether electricity comes at all over this thick black plug or whether I broke my radio unit. Probably I have been stupid not taken the whole thing from the battery. But I also wonder if such a radio can break so fast. I still have the hope that it is only a plug that has come loose. But since I'm not a garage guy nor an electronics technician, I don't know what to do and hope that you can tell me what it is or who I can turn to. I am really desperate. Thank you!

It's not the displays because the original doesn't work either.
I'd look at each and every connection. Buy a multimeter and probe every single pin that is supposed to supply power. Chances are you broke a pin, if the fuses are all good. Or you could have also shorted it and burnt something instead of the fuses. |

It works but the built in mic doesn't work good and sometimes the autoconnect fails to. |

I paid for the apk in the hope they had more aspect ratio settings in the full version. No such luck, but they don't seem quite as bad in the full version. It's probably wishful thinking because I've paid |

With the latest beta the dpi settings got easier, I played with resolution and dpi? I think this is 160 and 720p then you will get the music player and info screen and buttons to the left side. Quote:

What I do is press the car's Media button(which switches it to Aux) then tap the screen to switch back to Android.

Does it now connect seemlessly when you hit Navigation button? I originally used USB route but too many prompts each time. Have played about with WiFi option but still not fully automated |

On the phone enable hotspot and start Android auto server then launch head unit reloaded on the head unit. This only work with my wife's phone but not with my phone or a spare phone. Once I try the full-screen version or should I say widescreen and if it works well I will try to automate it with the Tasker
