I have a Pixel 4. That does seem to be the issue, so maybe it's on the phone side, I'm not aware of any settings to change that.

Unfortunately the resolution options in the mmi sw are only 720p or 480p and are set simply by flagging them true or false. So there is no wiggle room.

For the bt issue, I would unpair the mmi bt connection, clear cache from the phone's bt app then go through the mmi pairing procedure again.

That's the full screen view, ignore that weird black bar from the picture, the image is clear. There is a setting to make it split view but I prefer the full screen option.

Thank you ! =) so now it's the real oem pdc ! Before, when I was going to full screen, lines were not displayed

Je n’ai pas pris de photo en reverse mode (marche arrière?) si c’est le cas, ça m affiche le radar de recul oem et re bascule sur CarPlay quand je finis la marche arrière

Ah tu n'as pas de GPS intégré ?? parceque moi en NBT avec GPS pro ça prend énormément de place donc obligé de le mettre sous la boite à gant...

Du coup pour la marche arrière j'ai eu ma photo

Merci pour tes réponses

Hey guys I want to install one of these units in my friends 340 but he doesn't have an aux port. Will this not work for him? I installed this unit in my 320 with an aux port, so I'm not sure how it works.

Also, where can I get the new andream version B unit? Any specific sellers?

Thank you

Aux port is not needed, audio is delivered to the aux input through the quadlock

installed on a F30 2012 ,and no audio was available until I plugged it via Jack... so it depends on car's year maybe?

It depends on being CIC or NBT

CIC you need to plug it in, and NBT you do not.

What about the microphone? I had to tap into the oem mic on the 320

Not required with NBT, no idea on CIC

[biomed27]

Awesome! Thanks guys

Also, do y'all recommend any sellers? I bought my unit from China, but that took months to ship.

Thanks. Placing my order tonight

If you are after a unit for NBT that is the B unit.

You can get the B unit at the Andream store on AliExpress

So it looks like there are a few scenarios relate to which firmware and MCU to use. My guess would be to ask you guys what version you use to accomplish the following scenario:

1. CarPlay:
   • MMI for calls
   • BT OEM for calls, MMI for music
2. Android Auto
   • BT OEM for calls, MMI for music
   • BT for calls and music

Correct me if the above scenarios are the possible use cases?

The problem seems to be that your phone is not automatically connecting to the mmi bt connection. That is what triggers auto launch. Which phone are you using?

The resolution is the only real negative of v2 of the custom firmware, in v1 it looked great on the 10-inch screen, on v2 it is definitely not as good. But the other aspects are much better such as the call handling. Yes, the phone connects momentarily to the MMI bluetooth, then once AA is launched it disconnects and connects to the car bluetooth.

So I wonder what was different about v1 of the custom firmware? It definitely looked clearer and the Google Maps suggested destinations takes up more of the screen in v2.

Hi there, I just installed an Andream MMI in my F30, and also a backup camera.

when I connect the RCA to the "Front Camera" I can see the unit in the "Camera" Section of the interface, but when I connect it to "Rear Camera" - I don't see anything in the Camera section, and when I shift to Reverse, it doesn't appear to auto-switch.

Is there something that needs to be coded for this to work? My Camera wasn't getting enough power from the reverse lights, so I had to hardwire it into the fuse box.

That said, the camera always has power now instead of only when backing up, which may be part of my problem.

Versions:
Andream NewUI/B-Version [NBT]
B V1.0.2
MCU 20.6.2

My first proper test of the CarPlay calls yesterday and there was a definite echo reported.

What are the latest audio settings to reduce/remove the echo?

I've tried to find them but there's a lot of info in the thread now.

Hello everyone,
has anyone noticed that indiwork has encrypted its update page with a password?

Does anyone know the password?

You should plug it in the proper jack, dedicated for the reverse CAM.
Don't plug it directly, you have the yellow wire on the MMI to give the cam power, or you can put a relay on the trunk to get power from the reverse light.

did you check your configuration on the MMI on "reverse" section ? upload an image to see.
I think you you disable the first or the second option.

on mine, i have a front and back CAM, i've installed the box yesterday, i have some issues, like the quality of the camera is poor, compared to the other bock i had before, and the front cam doesn't work when the PDC is ON, i have to disable manually the PDC to get the image.

for information, the front CAM is getting the power from the YELLOW wire!

The DPI is different.
v1 had 200 dpi and v2 has 210 dpi because I felt that 200 dpi still was a tiny bit too small. I tested 220 dpi as well but that was too big, so the choice was 210 dpi.

On my screen (8.8"), it doesn't look 'clearer' but 'bigger'. Maybe that's where the perceived difference comes from.
I can change that back for the next release (if there is any, depends on their updates), but so far more people have reported that it looks good than the other way around.

I'm also not sure about that stretched look. It looks fine to me, and circles are circles and not ovals anymore like on the old versions (without widescreen).

There is one more setting in the config for the phsyical screen measurements but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. It was way off and I changed them to fit the 8.8" screen but I did not notice any difference.

Camera icon only works for front camera view.

Rear camera is activated only when rear PDC is active. You can connect the camera to the MMI. Yellow RCA from cam to the yellow RCA labeled as "Rear cam" (or something like that) and the power wire form the cam to the yellow cable labeled as "12v back" (or something like that haha)
