MCU NBT : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rqz...ew?usp=sharing I'm afraid this is older software. The seller does not guarantee that the error will disappear. |

Currently I'm trying it without the idrive controller connected to the MMI, I'll see how it goes, only downside is I can't code the CIC when it's wired like this. My previous MMI didn't have this issue, just a flickering screen, so I think its an MCU issue, but Roadtop support is insisting it's wiring and keep getting me to try different configs that either don't work at all or result in the same issue. I brought from Amazon, so may just return the unit as it's just become a big pain to deal with. |

Its odd because if I say OK Google it will pick it up. Then it even does the sign like it can hear me talking but it rarely actually picks up what I am saying. I do wonder if it trying to use the actual phone microphone. The box did come with an external mic cable. Maybe I should plug one in there and try it out. Thanks again |

Hi all. I have a problem with the CIC unit: several phones are connected with BT, but it shows no phones connected (empty list). When I try to pair a new phone, it get a long way in the process, but at the end it just returns to the empty list after a while, without adding the phone.
Not sure if that's caused/related to the Andream device (I know it caused canbus issues before, but I installed that fix already). So I would just like to do a factory reset on mu CIC device. However, I find several ways with google, but none works. I tried to press and hold for a while: * DVD-eject + volume * Mode + volume Anyone here experienced such a thing? Is there any other way to reset my CIC unit? I drive a 2012 F30 with CIC unit with a large screen and use an NBT-version of Andream, which for some reason worked fine on my CIC unit.

Is it possible to downgrade the MCU?
If you have a later MCU installed, is it possible to install an earlier one? Has anyone tried it? Thx Last edited by emulajavi; 06-23-2023 at 07:26 PM.. |

I may have to go the ebay route, which I was trying to avoid as it's harder to return, either that or try the Android screen option instead. |

Hey all, just installed an Andream MMI and backup camera in my 2016 340i and have a few issues that I'm hoping to get some help with. And, lesson learned to maybe help some other folks.
Issues: - The sound when listening to music via Android Auto is much quieter and worse quality than the radio or using BMW bluetooth. I have to turn it up much higher than normal which sucks when switching between sources, and as mentioned, the quality isn't there. I have HK sound, if that makes any difference. I saw a post re: this issue saying to turn up your Aux volume to max in iDrive, but I don't see that option in my menus, just call volume can be set (and only when actively in a call for some stupid reason). Any workarounds to make the quality/volume better? I wish the MMI would allow you to use BMW bluetooth directly from the phone for all sound, not just calls but doesn't seem to be possible. - I've seen people saying that button 8 is hardcoded to switch to Aux input, but it doesn't seem to work for me - I have to manually switch to Aux input via iDrive or steering wheel buttons to get sound from the MMI. Actually, none of my 1-8 preset buttons do anything when I have the MMI up, nor do my left/right buttons. Is this because I have NBT? Or is it something I could fix? Would be nice to at least retain function of the left right buttons so I could move through my radio preset stations while using Waze for navigation or something like that (don't care about not hearing verbal directions). Lessons Learned: - I have a manual transmission, so the backup camera install is different than the instructions I've seen say. They all tell you to connect the red wire on the video cable (the extra pigtail aka 'convenience wire') to the red power wire on the camera and that's it - leave the black ground taped up. That doesn't work. The camera gets power via that red convenience wire, yes (assuming you connect it to the MMI harness yellow wire for backup power) but you need a ground still. I connected ground to my taillight harness ground, which is a brown wire. As for activation, once I did that, it picked up reverse being active itself - no need for any trigger wire. Not sure how it works for auto cars and where ground comes from, but that was the only way to get my camera to power on. - That method for powering the camera is still imperfect. With the engine off, the picture looks great but when on it looks noisy and distorted. Apparently the power is pretty dirty. The camera came with a little black box with Chinese lettering on it - apparently a signal conditioner. I should have used it - will go back and add that next weekend probably - hopefully it fixes that noisy looking image. Thanks in advance for any help! |

The new 2023 MCU file would be good to have available.

For those who have Google Pixel 3 but want Android 13, thus the latest AA (I use CarlPlay).

8 is hard coded to switch to mmi box not aux. Some people also assign the aux front to 8 (by highlighting it using the idrive controller and pressing and holding 8 to save) - that way if you switch to the mmi by pressing and holding 8, you also switch to the aux front. The left right buttons do work for me from inside the mmi to skip or go to prev track but I use CarPlay not AA. |

Whilst I was coding out BMW voice assistant tonight it did it again, I pressed a few buttons, including holding the back button and it started to work again. Going to keep monitoring it over the next couple of days and see how it behaves, but at least it's an improvement. |

The only other issue I have is that the PDC button doesn't do anything when in the MMI, the light comes on, but doesn't display the sensors, if I switch back to idrive it shows the sensors. I also noticed that the MMI only shows the pdc sensors when in reverse, unlike the idrive that shows until you go over 6mph. Bit annoying when parallel parking, pdc still makes sound, just no visual on screen without switching to idrive.
I'm waiting for a camera emulator, hopefully I can then set camera to original and use the idrive for pdc/camera. I used a splitter for the camera so I can switch between the 2 options without rewiring. |
