Hi All, I have an Android 13 HU bought off AliExpress. I was messing with some settings and suddenly the driver-side speakers stopped working.

All speakers work fine with iDrive radio but whatever audio comes out of the Android unit only outputs sound to the passenger side speakers. AUX IN works as I plugged in a different Bluetooth device and tested. Kindly help me to sort this out. Let me know if you need any other information.

Hi there,

i have an e92, but i think here are the most experts for android Headunits
My Headunti is Android 13, i want to change the Boot Logo/Boot animation.
Can someone send me an instruction and the files, cause i am to dumb. My HU is not KSW its GT6, i dont know if that makes any difference

Here is a link of my HU: https://www.ewaying.de/products/8-8-...e91-e92-e93-m3

I want a Logo/Animation which is as original as possible. Either BMW logo or the M Logo would be nice.

Ok thanks so far, the logos were uploaded yesterday, so i didnt saw them yet.
But i dont exactly understand the instruction.
Do i have to name the folder OEM or what does it mean by ''create OEM folder''?
In the Mega-Downloads there is no Bootanimation.zip, does it mean Bootlogo.zip?
Also, the first link just has the Bootlogo.zip
Do i have to extract it, then i have the bmps and copy them AND the unextracted zip to the usb stick?

Sorry, but i am just too stupid for it.
I just want to get the logos from the first discord link on my HU, it has 1920x720

if simple things raise questions, it is better to invite an assistant a little smarter. Otherwise, you can stay without HU.

And if you read thoughtfully here, you will find ready-made animations.
Just click on the link

For example

NBT boot animation demo video


And so on

For boot animations follow the instruction on the page provided.
Yes create the OEM folder if it does not exist.

For boot logo, on Android 13, you need to prepare a zip file with your images in several folders as explained here:

Then you need to import this zip file by placing it in OEM folder and then going into Factory settings/Boot logo and clicking import.
After import, you will lose the images shown on Page#2, (unless you save them somewhere), but you will gain your custom ones. You can only import about 14 images 4MB each (at some size the import will fail). All new images will show on page#2. Choose one to show at boot.

Is the config file universal? Works for any model?

Read a few pages back and you will find the info you need.

Hi all,

Installed a Android 13 HU off AliExpress (SD 680) and installed in my F30 with EVO unit so I have had to use the AUX(from the android harness) to USB dongle to vehicle USB port. The OEM system recognises the AUXUSB connection. (Photo attached)

I’ve triple checked everything and I can’t get any sound from the Android unit. OEM sound has no issues. The fibre cable from the old harness is connected as it should be in the android harness.

I’ve selected the AUXUSB on the OEM screen. Is there factory settings specific to get all of this working? All the Aux and USB settings are on there.

I’ve seen some other HU for the EVO wired completely differently and I don’t have those cords.

The only thing I haven’t connected is the cable in the photo which I don’t need, I THINK???

I’m at a loss of what to do and I want to throw the damn thing out the window.

Hoping someone can give me troubleshooting ideas.

Thanks

Sounds like you need to use the AUX cable to your armrest AUX to get sound.

I don’t have an AUX port in my arm rest, hence the AUX to USB dongle. Installed that and in to the USB port and still no sound.

Does your car not have an aux input at all? I believe you need to plug HU AUX into your cars AUX input. Or plug in a USB DAC and connect it your cars AUX input… not USB input to get audio. My E series car might be different however.

New cars don't have the traditional AUX input at all. Doesn't matter if you code it on or not when there is no physical port anywhere in the car. Post 2018 most car have what is called USB AUX (digital AUX input).

I did all the steps and i found the OEM folder in my root directory.
But i cant replace the folder or paste the Logos.
Do i need to root the system for that?

You can use an SDCARD, or a USB drive and create a OEM folder there.
When you insert the card or drive, the HU will check what you have in there.

Maybe my unit sound output is dead.

Suddenly, there is no sound at all.
I tried many things, I even did a factory reset but still nothing. I checked the amp with the radio, I have sound. So it comes definitely from the android unit.

I see only one option, buying an USB DAC.
Thoughts, anyone?

It still runs android 11 (2.4.4) with ID8.

According to that link your unit is not even an Android unit, it's a Linux unit that only does CarPlay or Android Auto. You cannot change logs or animations on it.

My Bad, it's this one: https://www.ewaying.de/products/8-8-...6&_ss=e&_v=1.0
It runs android 13.
I got an OEM folder in the root directory of the system, which i can not change.
Maybe someone knows where the logos are saved on this HU

That looks like a genuine unit, but I would need to see a photo of the system info page.

Why do you try to access the OEM folder on your unit when every single guide out there tells you to copy bootanimation.zip and bootlogo.zip (or individual images like imagefv.bmp) to the OEM folder on your USB/SD card and plug it in?
