You're thinking of coding front PDC without having the PDC unit for this? If that is possible, you might well achieve this functionality. If not, you could retrofit just the right PDC unit, without any cabling. Interesting idea.

Just browsing through your bug/wish list. Did you know that this functionality can be achieved by selecting OEM Camera (Settings, System, Camera selection)? I tried this today, and it works.
Originally I've front and back pdc.

I've my camera connected to the +12 from the Android only (also tried connecting to the rear lights) and when i put direct gear the camera/pdc disappears (i can ear pdc and pdc button is active).

At this moment If i switch from Android to original or viceversa then the camera/pdc appears again on the screen, also if i go to apps.

Is like the camera/pdc when i put direct gear is still active but Android or original have more priority and comes above camera/pdc and when i change from source Android/original then camera/pdc comes On.

Also if i manually switch on the pdc button, then the camera/pdc still active correctly until pdc is off.

It's a bug that can be fixed.

Cheers.

But the app does still not start, maybe something else , not signing related does prevent it from working ?

Well that rises even more questions...

1. Does the signature has to be the same for all ksw apps? As far as I know signature is required to install app and sometimes same key is used for signing few app from the same vender to allow them sharing of sensitive data. Maybe that's the issue.

2. Does this app need to be installed (as update) or just dropped in place of the original one? Maybe replacing apk file, changing permissions and then rebooting would do the trick.

3. Some apps are protected to prevent manipulation/modification. How it is done and what would one find trying to modify such app I don't know. Could that be the case? Personally I doubt this.

My knowledge of Android development ends here I'm afraid. Writing an app is one thing... modding, hacking and reverse engineering is something else.

I have already a F/R PDC unit and front sensors lying around since half of a year, but at always not time to install it :/
But i also want to try this without upgrading, to know if it does work for other people.

1. Verify / try other CAN protocols under Factory settings.
2. Factory reset. You lose all your apps and settings, but this is recommended to do after upgrading.
3. Contact seller, wait for bugfix.

Anyone?

Hello, I have a 2016 M3 and would like to buy one of these units. I would really like wireless carplay. After reading these pages, I think I want the 626 snapdragon version.

I live in the US if that matters.

Could you link me to the best one to buy?

@ Mirjam

I attached the pin assignment of the 8080 Harness i measured, maybe this will help you.
i wanted to do a better description of the harness but just don`t have the time to do.

Hi
Attached back side image of the motherboard for Snapdragon HU/CIC/E70 . Got my HU from Naviodm
with a lot of issues and no support. Had to fix soldering by my self.
I wander. Do other sellers sell HU with both CAN transceivers in place, for CAN1 and CAN2 to work as bridge isolating CIC/NBT from the controller in android mode?
Currently in Android mode the controller is still working in CIC menus altering settings and other things in random order.

I've been following the forums waiting for wireless CarPlay to be built in (vs. dongle) myself. Seems like this is the best option currently available, and a few users have commented that this seller has good support. I am chatting with them right now, about to buy one.

I'm starting to think that we're doing it wrong. This is a system app in the end and after doing some research it should be as simple as dropping modded apk file to its folder, changing permissions to 644 and rebooting.

Although my unit is for CCC and it's not marked up very well, it looks like I have both transceivers. BTW I bought it from Andream.

I'm having a very minor issue, more of an irritation. Even though I've paired my iPhone 8 to the Avin PX6 unit for them to connect I have to go into (phone) settings/personal hotspot/WiFi password before it connects, any suggestions how to make it work without all this faffing about? Not a major problem as I spend most of my time with CarPlay,just a nuisance. Any advice gratefully received.

My CIC HU also has only one CAN Transceiver.

I just read out the Bands support of my Snapdragon Unit.

It seems there is no Band 20 support.

Bands to Frequency can be seen here.

For what i saw Denmark is only some providers using Band 3/7/20.
Please check your providers and give feedback if they support one of those bands.

EDIT: seems the "official" supported Bands document for Snapdragon 625 and 425 has been leaked, i attached a zip file with the original and english translated one.

LTE_Bands_support_MS8953.zip


The Tool used to read bands is calls QCT Modem Capabilities, it can be found here.

Thanks.
Could you also confirm, that CAN1 and CAN2 cables go to different ends of quadlock adapter?

Chinese seller were trying to persuade me, that the cable is wrong and sent me a new one with integrated speaker and only one CAN wire.

Kir if you have better things to do then leave it. I will cope without these changes. I wanted to replace some graphics for ID6, ID7 and dashboard along with couple of xml layout files.

It would be nice to know what is going on with this app, but if this's a major pain in the backside, then maybe it's a waste of time.
