Might as well try my luck here as I have 0 technical background with these units.
I have a resolution problem on my unit.
Within the Idrive menu the resolution of background images is not ok + letters appear to be purple. Android menu is fine.
I have tried to enter factory settings and adjust Car Type but with no luck (I have tried them all). Is there any other thing I have to adjust.





Thanks !

Guys need your suggestion. My car comes from factory without OEM monitor head unit. I installed AVIN android unit, I also ordered and installed iDrive controller form AVIN. Problem is that, iDrive controller very poor quality, also it doesn’t have main button tilting features it only rolling.

I’m wandering can I use OEM iDrive controller instead of that AVIN trash? I tried to understand how to connect it, because AVIN iDrive controller have 5 pin socket. BMW OEM iDrive controller have 4 pin socket.

Does anyone tried and use OEM iDrive on AVIN head units?

Regards

Dear together,

I have a CCC Android 8.1 Unit with an USB DAC attached (Meizu Hifi). My problem was that the volume was always set to about 25% after reboot (not sure if it's a behaviour of the DAC or the headunit). I'm not rooted. Tasker was not working because it was not starting together with Android.

I installed an app from XDA. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/s...4102439/page-3). I changed the source code to start already 1s after the USB intent was recognized (which is triggered by the attached USB-C DAC). It's working nicely. I would post the changed app but I'm not sure if this is allowed by the developer. In tasker I change the volume by "Monitor Start" of tasker itself.

Anyway another problem is that the Bluetooth call is always using the orignal AUX output of the headunit. I use a Y Splitter cable. It doesn't affect my sound output quality as far as I can say (or not noticeable) of the DAC but it clearly affects the output of the unit in case I use it for a bluetooth call. I ordered another USB-C DAC...maybe this one reacts different. I think the DAC has a really low impendance which is maybe a little bit hard for the headunit...Maybe I will also play a little bit with some resistors. If somebody is interested I can report.

So far it's working good and the sound quality noticeable improved.

That is a nice try !!!
If you have the knowledge to make the idrive knob to work with all the system and not only the native apps it would be great !!
That is the only issue with our units !!!

I was looking in a different spot on the board !

Now i am waiting for @__fred__ to send me the correct bootloader and MCU to continue with the task !
I hope with his help to have success !

I do not know if he is still active in that forum but i really need his help or if anyone knows the procedure how to adapt the custom bootloader and then the MCU file into the st32 chip !!

I have already ordered this programmer to be ready for flashing .

I hope is the correct one for the job !
Is it ? Does anyone know ?

He did it and posted that in this post but i do not know what to do next

Hi, I recently bought my first BMW, i.e. E87. I have purchased a GPS navigation on android for it. I have some problem. After buying the device to check if it works, I connected it to the BMW radio. At first the screen was flickering, but then it worked. So I started installing it in the car. After installing all the components, I connected the GPS device, but again, the screen started to flicker (picture 1). I've unplugged and replugged the cables several times, and finally the screen lights up and android does not start at all. Interestingly, when I put the car in reverse, the screen switches to the reversing camera properly. Has anyone of you encountered this problem?

In the meantime I have bought a carlink adaptor and use the HU as a screen

The same for me. GPS stopped working.
I have been able to revert to an older version but the GPS seems not working again. I'm looking for a differet factory.xml file because it changed and now also password has changed.

I fixed simply downgrading with a px3.img image and factory.xml file that I've received years ago from the supplier.

Unfortunately thats a very outdated system, which is before my "Android Headunit" time.

Someone would reverse engineer the image, gather the launcher app , check if the system is rootable and Root it.
Then create a new specific KswOverlay for this head unit typ and test it.

That requires a Headunit at the desk alot of work and not just done in an hour, for me i unfortunately don't have the time to do this

So listening to the internal CD player or internal FM radio will effectively mute your navigation. APK kan be downloaded here.

Ow and I forgot previously: replacing the eventcenter.apk will reset all settings unfortunately. So you will have to update from factory.xml (with client=high-grade inside) to reenable the EVO6 ui and subsequently set all settings again.

Hello, I'm glad you managed to fix the problem. I have the same problem with left-speaker navigation audio. Can you please share this app and describe how to solve it.
Or maybe someone else has an answer to it.

Hi, does anyone have a full system image up to px6 in .img format? The system is completely dead and I have to upload it with RKDevtool

I have the same problem, look at the previous page of this thread, but never found a solution. Did you?

This old navigation has an overheating problem and only worked well with Android Auto. Unfortunately that stopped working on Android 7. Is there a way to upgrade this to Android 8?

Thanks,
