DRuw, my unit came with a pre installed DAB App.
It is the same app mentioned here: https://www.seicane.com/de/hd-auto-d...tstelle-sc19-1 There is a download link of apk file on the site. |

DRuw for wifi issues you could try external wifi dongle
android 7 should be compatible with most windows realtek based adapters or you could go to town with this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073W4XB...5&ref=aa_scomp |

ahh ok, sounds like you need to lay this down and create few Automate receipies
IE if this WiFi is in range, disconnect current wifi and connect to it etc. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...omate&hl=en_GB |

I had a simple wifi-priority app but for some reason the tablet itself does not connect automatically with wifi. I saw this was an issue with Android 7.1 but there should be a work around... Will try yours |

A quick tipp:
I found out that the OSD also supports other languages than Chinese and English. In Settings --> Languages --> More (Add a language) I changed it to German |

Just a tad bit. I obviously wouldn't blindly try to update it, but instead unpack the ROM to see what potential changes might be ported over. If for some reason the unit actually does accept the update process and it stalls, as long as the boot loader is in tact, then a restore from the SD card method should be possible.

Another quick tip:
you can access the toolbar by wiping down from the upper edge of the display. You can quickly adjust - brightness - wifi - turn off screen - and more |

DRuw, with my Avin unit they sent a 4 port USB hub, so plugged DAB dongle into that after plugging hub into, I think, USB 1. Hope that makes some sense! Make sure you take your time when installing the DAB antenna, the copper part needs to ground to metal bodywork, painted I believe isn't an issue. I didn't and it doesn't work too good

Okidoki, I got the DAB working
Who knew the antenna needed to be grounded.... Now I have another problem: Idrive is working, its just the android part that simply doesn't boot. Im beginning to think it has something to do with rebooting after a short time... if thats a possibility. Sound is awesome from DAB btw, it just didnt boot after I shut it down and rebooted... |

I've just changed the DAB app that Avin suggested to the one mentioned by Wacky007 and it works much better, seems to have a much stronger signal, even allowing for my less than ideal antenna installation

I ordered the DAB module from Avin at the same time as the head unit, looks to be plenty of similar options on ebay/Aliexpress, guess they all work broadly similarly. The suggested app was the Zou whatever, just recently the BBC national stations had disappeared, back in the new one.

so I just finished installing everything including the mic and so far I am liking this unit. I can't compare it with avin since I never had avin before. "OK Google" is working too same thing with Waze voice assistant. Although I am using aux for sound output on android side it is pretty close to my harman kardon sound on the "bmw side". I seached for audiophile music in youtube and sound/music is really great. I still can't use pretty much internet dependent apps away from home since I don't have hotspot YET. One only drawback for me is the stretched image on the bmw side. I can't code it to 8.8/10.25" since I have an NBT HU_ENTRY (non nav). If you have 6.5" but with business nav (HU_ENTRYNAV - F30 from 7/2014) then you can code it to 8/10.25" and do split screen. To get rid of the stretched image I used the CIC X5 8/10.25" in factory settings and image will not be stretched but half the screen will show some vertical lines. If only I can get rid of that image of km when using F48 6.5 half screen it could be better.

I think it is related to booting while an USB or sdcard is connected. Didnt have it before I plugged the DAB in I think but need to test it more... I have this one: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/2017-...821761389.html which I know is delivered with the AVIN units. This one is send with the Ugode I heard: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/Seica...ceBeautifyAB=0 |

The Avin supplied dongle is similar but slightly different, not sure if it helps any but the antenna is powered via USB, most of the other ones don't seem to have this.

Thats true. I highly doubt the stick being different though..
And it works Only issue is the no signal message but thats a headunit issue I think (some avin users also have this..) In contact with louie about this... |
