Best unit for Carplay and AA with EVO ID6

luke79 · Yesterday, 07:37 AM

Hi guys, I have one of those andream MMI clones I bought 2 years ago. It's starting to die, always boot to a black screen in the first 10 minutes, then freezes at bootloader stage, eventually launches AA when I don't need it anymore!

So, I was looking for a better replacement unit, because I'm missing the touchscreen function and noticed from other posts that some units are complete screen replacement (not only an intermediate MMI box but actually a screen with embedded logic) and could retain the touch function.
These are still carplay and Android auto based, I'm not talking about the full Android devices that could lead to half baked firmwares and mixed results, just the carplay/AA added value, but I'm unable to find a unit compatible with the EVO ID6, it looks like it's only good for CIC or NBT. Is there a reason for that or I just didn't find the right model ?

Thanks !

if you have an evo and it has the wlan port, why not get oem carplay installed?

otherwise; there arent many options as you can buy a module (just an adapter) for carplay/aa but it’s basically a mmi device

So, about the first question, basically because I'm not an iphone user but an android user, otherwise I'd agree with you!

Can you point me to the module you're talking about, I'd like to take a look!
Tnx

something like this. there are many of these out there, so you’ll have see which works best. I’ve seen a few posts on here for a product very similiar that i’m sure you can find.

Ok, I see... !
So, I'd have to ask someone for coding wired carplay, then I connect this kind of module to get wireless AA through the wired, native, Carplay right ?

I'm not sure I can have wired Carplay tho

there should be no coding needed for this. i can’t comment on how it works or anything as i never bothered to do any research as i got an mmi device and happy as can be but i have seen this solution floating around.

look on youtube and you can probably find videos on how it works.
