1. Did anyone had similar issue?
2. Is there a way to reboot the unit without switching car off?

Also, when i switch on the unit, the fist thing that start is the music player.

3. How can i set the default 'starting' app?

4. Could somebody provide me with updates for cic 7.1 android please?

Thanks in advance

Is this the 8,8 inch version. If so there is a reset switch on the right side. There is a small hole. You need a smal steal thing to push it.

It is not possible to make a default app to my understanding. To be honest I am happy that music app starts on default. Because when I close music app and start spotify or internett radio, both works with next and back key on steeringwheel.

This freeze issue has also happened to me once. I think its running to hot. Its just a guess from me. But I know from other units that PX3 will overheat very easy. I am going to install a fan later to see if it helps. <-- But I have only experienced it once. But I am only using it for Sycig, not Gmaps. I think Gmaps is using more Cpu power.

Firmware updates.

MCU updates. <.-- Only instal CIC MCU updates on your unit if your is CIC. NOT CCC and NOT NBT.

THIS IS 7.1 ONLY. DO NOT USE FOR ANDROID 4.4.4

After I got out of the bootIoop issue with help from -NONO-, I realise that after I installed the new firmware, ID6 does not come up as an option probably because the MCU has not been updated. Does anyone have a newer MCU file that is suitable for this system?

Those with ID6... is it worth the trouble?

Install this.................. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Rr...ocK6IYpU0Ew1pP

1.- Uncompress it
2.- Copy the XML file on a flash drive.
3.- Connect the pendrive and restart the device.
4.- Wait about 30 seconds, after that the update device.

👍. Perfect!!! It worked without a hitch. From having a unit that I thought I had to junk (due to boot loop) I now have a unit that feels like a new one with ID6. Everything is working perfectly. Thanks -NONO-, you are my savior!!!

If key in inigtion (not running) I have decent sound from android and idrive without connect to Aux from under armrest. BUT once I startup the car (running) I have no sound from android but does have sound from idrive. Every thing working perfectly no hit Cup.

I have basic speaker system not hifi, from my knowledge only if you have logic7 than you don't needed connect to aux. Moved optic cable into AVIN harness. AVIN AUX turn into AUX INPUT instead OUTPUT. Mean I can connect my iPhone via aux playing music.

I have tried connect to aux under armrest, volume max no luck.
Any help, truly appreciate!!!!

If you have connected through AUX port from under arm-rest, before you move from idrive to Android side please check if you have selected AUX. If you play radio or cd from idrive side you will have to select AUX before you move to Android side for sound to come through the aux port. Please check this before you trouble shoot further.

Thank you mate for your help. I will try to update it in the next few days.

The unit I have is the 10.25' as i have the F10.

Of the crashing issue was due to the temp of the unit, should't the whole unit not work? The build in car menu is fine and so is the music if it's playing. I sometimes even get the commands even though the screen is 'broken'

Hello sir. I fixed my nosignal screen at booting with taking away gps splitter and running with original china antenna instead. I know that many people here are still running splitter without issue, but in my case it did not. So if you are running gps fakra splitter, try to remove it. It can help.

in my case, I think not!
I did some tests and I think the problem is software and not hardware
in fact, when I delete the cache from the MUSIC app the system starts again and again without problems and then after some kind of 4 or 5 switching on the problem occurs again
and as if you could not shut down in time when you close the car
because the 12v power supply is removed before the system turns off completely

Oki, If you hard reset your device. Does it go directly in to No signal? Do you have splitter?

yes I have the splitter, I also did the Hard reset, but
anything .
I tell you that not using the app music and using all of them
other applications the "no signal" problem on 30 ignitions
only once happened.
When using music there are problems otherwise not

When I had the splitter installed my unit went in No signal mode everytime I hard reset my unit. Now without splitter I have not had any no signal screen since. Please test to only unplug GPS antenna for a while. Its a 5 min job.

Format to Fat32 or NTFS. Copy PX3.img to root of USB stick. If it doesnt work on one usb port, try the other one. Min only worked to upgrade through 1 of 2 usb ports.

Thanks. That's what i have done but wasn't working. I had to disable the file explorer which was taking over the autorun and it work fine.

What is the difference between tbe firmware version and mcu? Do i need to upgrade both? Is there any order to do it is mcu has to be on specific version before upgrading firmware?

Thanks again

Firmware is upgrading Android.

I would not recommend to upgrade MCU If you are happy with how your unit is working. Newer is nopt always better.

Its writen to upgrade FW first and then MCU afterwards in documents. I am not sure what is the correct order. You can go for what version you want.
