Have you reached to Andream about this? I asked them and they do not seem to know.

Maybe in the Android Auto settings on the phone.

If you changed the screen size did you need to change the DIP switch settings on the MMI box?

We have an Andream unit installed in our 2013 MINI Cooper S. Everything seems to work except "Hey Siri" only works on the first activation, but after it prompts you for a second input it's like the car can't hear you speaking, as if no microphone is connected. The Andream unit is set to use Car's bluetooth, so we're using the built in mic on the MINI. I didn't connect a second microphone to the Andream. Is that the reason it can't hear us?

I have a basic question. Apparently audio goes through Aux line.

So I guess that Aux line has to be chosen permanently in BMW media selection. Is this ok?

Could this be a problem? Calls are through MMI or car bluetooth?

My concern is if we have to manually change between sources or on the contrary we can just leave Aux selection forever...

Thanks!
BMW X2 2020 has factory CarPlay built-in.

Please try to turn off the Bluetooth of the original car, or use Andream's microphone to try.

Hey, friend.

From my experience. You should check your power cord first for any looseness. That has a lot to do with it. If it still doesn't work, maybe you should replace the power cord with a new one, which can solve the problem to a large extent.

They sent me a new power cord and that fixed the issue 🙂

Really? I am on latest software, can you take a pic of your versions page if possible? First page doesn't show MCU update for Roadtop B2 though..

Also, talked to roadtop and they gave me version B2R169: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QJj...ew?usp=sharing

In case someone needs it.

- iDrive rotary wheel works fine, but left/right changes tracks, and up/down does nothing. Makes it near impossible to move between tiles in the new AA experience
- Phone calls using AA, the person I am talking to hears themselves echo. I tried a few things here like turning the mic audio setting all the way down through the andream, and also tried disabling the mic on my phone via AA permissions. No help there.

It is still on firmware 1.15 compared to the other ones ... not sure if its compatible with any of the other firmwares out there. I had to use an ISPBOOOT.bin file to recover when i borked an upgrade.
Did you figure out your audio for calls? My caller said I sound far and they hear themselves. Trying to figure out what settings I need to change.

Good time of day! How to clear the flash memory of the device from the old download, from old files, from the old firmware? How to make a system reset, format the console? When downloading a new firmware, the device does not have enough space in RAM. It cannot erase or overwrite old files on its own, so the download stops at 50% and starts from scratch after two minutes again, in a circle to infinity.:помощь:

It would be a fancy and expensive alternative to a vent phone holder but I really hate those and love the car, so I would be willing to try an MMI.

So a couple of questions: how stable are these devices if you are not looking into advanced functions or wireless capabilities?

Taking those panels from the dash off... don't you end up with rattling from them after that?

And finally, can you tell me what this original screen is? Is it 6.5 without the plastic front or can it display more?

I’ve had an MMI unit in my F82 for over 15 mths now and it’s been brilliant. Rock solid wireless CarPlay connection with good audio quality.

Frankly the wireless connection is more stable than the one in my G01 with factory wireless CarPlay (which frequently drops out driving through tolls).

You’ll only have rattles if you don’t put things back together properly.

Yes that’s the 6.5 inch screen.
