Feel free to modify it if something isn't working properly.

Please note that if you want to keep my original format when editing, you'll need to change the Encoding to OEM-US before saving it (In Notepad++: Encoding\Character Sets\Western European\OEM-US). Otherwise, it'll change the box "graphic" to random characters. Or you can delete the lines for the box graphic altogether to simplify the batch file.

Can anyone explain step by step how to pair HU + laptop (mac) or any another

There are few options to connect the front CVBS camera:
- Using RCA DVR In, DVR Settings - CVBS, you can see then the front camera in DVR app from Apps Menu
- Using controller box for two cameras (front and rear), you can switch to front camera automatically changing gear from R to D or with an extra button when your gear box is in R mode.
- You can use Video In RCA and Camera +12V (the same as for rear camera) and tick the F_cam in Factory Settings (related app will appear in the Apps menu, then the front camera supposed to show automatically when changing gear from R to D. But this option not always works, dunno why.

No idea on how to hook up AHD front camera.

Just an update regarding music pause during receiving phone call. I had figured out the behaviour between android and OEM phone system using the wheel thumb scroll button. When command is send to OEM, the Android also capture the key event and execute it. In my case, the focus App in my Android HU during normal bootup is PowerAmp v3. So when I received the call, the HUD will show incoming call while iDrive screen still maintain Android Interface. Once I press the thumb wheel button, it will accept the call. In the same time, the key event is capture by Android and pause the music. If I hang up the call by pressing the thumb wheel button again, it will end the call and Android will get the key event and continue playing the music. But if I let the caller hang up the call without pressing the thumb wheel, then the PowerAmpl still in Pause mode. I need to resume the music by pressing the thumb wheel again.

Well, that is certainly not a Snapdragon 625... but what it is exactly is hard to tell. Kinda looks like one of these Intel units.

It is actually an MTK8257 (Autochips AC8257) 8-core 32GB/2GB unit and most likely this is Android 10. It's easy to display any information on the launcher but CPU-Z will be reading actual API level.

Voice Control BMW

Hello, I introduce myself to the group, I would like to say that I have read the entire forum, but it would not be true.

I have to say that there is impressive work and finding such a site is very rewarding.

I have a question that has been asked before and has not been answered.

It is possible to assign the physical button on the steering wheel that calls the BMW voice assistant and replace it with the googgle assistant

another question, someone has been able to install the amazon Alexa app on the radio

Thank you

Thank you

No it is not possible, in my opinion, I tried in a roundabout way with the TASKER application to intercept the command, but then, I entered an infinite loop of launching the "OK Google" assistant. or even any other applications. I think assistant voice call command is only possible if original BMW OEM, you don't have this option, then the button could be coded through TASKER. Also, this is only my personal experience and my tests.

In the factory menu or in the rear camera menu have you looked at the available options?

If you had the PDC before, and when you plug in your HU you have nothing left: it must then certainly be a badly inserted plug. You should look at your connections in the harness and at the back of the idrive

I couldn't get the Alexa app to work until I changed the Language in system settings to English US
I can't get Tasker or Macrodroid to enable the voice button as I am not able to get ADB running on my PC (the environment settings are different on my PC to all the guides I've watched)
It would be great if there were a simple solution to this.
I can trigger the assistant with a second press of the Menu/Home button (using Nova launcher) but that means I always have to close whichever app is in use

It worked in letting me assign Autokit as a Navigation app (and redirecting on-screen Nav buttons to Autokit), but the Voice Command button on the wheel doesn't work. I've tried reassigning to short press or long press - no luck.

Thanks for taking the time to put the APK together - greatly appreciated.
