Depends on the device. Carlinkit has 88888888 other ones 12345678 not sure which one you have.
If you relink the device via USB it should automatically fil it in as well.

However in order to work properly I need to connect both the Bluetooth and the WiFi to the Mmi and respectfully when I run Waze it does not show live data like the traffic or police cameras, due to the fact that my phone is connected to a WiFi which has no Internet....
No Spotify or YouTube music as no Internet connection...
My navi is CIC professional and Mmi firmware is 20.9.9.15
Thanks!

hello,

in case you haven't solved it, try setting the phone according to the example given in the link

All I have to say is, Waze on the Carplay Dashboard! Hallalujah!

I just noticed yesterday that holding down the menu button is now rebooting the MMI. I recently updated to 1.1.2 on an Andream B unit.
Holding down the back button no longer does anything. With this, it is not easy to switch between iDrive and the MMI dashboards.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this similar behavior.

Is that just a menu setting?

When I looked directly with my eyes, there are noticeable pixels around the fonts. As stated by ImpX, it looked like converted or upscaled from different format.

Oh and I changed wifi channel to 6 (2.4GHz) to make it discoverable for my phone (Samsung S10+ SD855)

I treated myself and replaced my 6.5" screen with an 8.8" screen and decided to play with the AA config dpi. Here are pics of AA running at 480p in widescreen mode with a dpi of 139. At 140dpi the display goes out of widescreen mode:

Hi All,

I bought a second hand andream unit. I installed it on a 428xi (2014-05) which is having the Entrynav NBT, and all is working(except for one thing).
The following software and mcu where on it:

v2.1.0.8.multiusb.gpe.b
MCU 20.06.02 (not 100% sure)

So assuming it is a EW-BMCP-NBT01A based on software versions. As i can't find anywhere else what the model number should be.

But the problem occurs when i switch to iDrive menu, (holding Menu or Back button) It shows for 2 seconds the Idrive screen. (and the control knob, does work) but after that Andream 'clicks' and reboots.

I've tried several MCU and Softwares from the EW-BMCP-NBT01A list. And also tried the customs v2.0.B0.mod with MCU 20.06.02 custom. But same problem here.

I also tried disconnecting everything, and hook it up again. But still no solution sadly.

Anyone who could help me with this issue?
Thanks!

Mine came with 1.1.2 and does not behave like that..
I can switch between MMI and iDrive with the menu button and reboot the MMI using the back button.

So after some thinking, i assumed that i was rebooting the device. Then it shows briefly Idrive and reboots.

But when trying to switch (holding menu 2 sec), the controls do actually switch, but the screens stays on the MMI.

I am trying to downgrade my Carlinkit software from version 9.2.10 to 9.2.9 (I also tried updating to the custom v2.0), but when I go to software update and select to upgrade the MMI it just freezes, no left/right, cancel, nothing works. I waited like 5+ minutes but nothing happened.

I can at least restart the MMI with the back button (holding it for 5s) and all is working good except that the software version stays the same one, 9.2.10.

I tried with two different USB sticks both formatted FAT32, on PC and Mac... no idea...

Is there something I am missing here or should I simply force flash update?

P.s. the warning collision stuff has gone away as soon as I connected the power wire back to the hazard button!

I tried force flash update, and nothing! I did everything as explained in the first post, screen went black and I heard the click, no progress bar appeared so I just let go of the back button, and then the black screen stayed there for 5 minutes and nothing changed. So I restarted the device and it booted normally with the bmw logo as always and 9.2.10 was still there. Now I'm completely clueless and have no idea what should I do next.

Any help/idea is greatly appreciated!

WiFi + was enabled on my phone... And as it seems it will switch to mobile data only in case of a bad WiFi signal...
Doesn't really help much as I have perfect wifi signal and connection to the MMI.
The point is whether I need both Bluetooth and WiFi connections or is there a workaround.

Not sure what menu setting would cause this. Do you know where that would be!

I have an older MCU I see. Another thing that I have done differently is I recently went from Android to iPhone. I am now using CarPlay instead of AA.
I normally don't switch from iDrive to MMI so I am not sure when and why this started happening.

Sure, but I believe that it's the same that we've here.

BTW they just reply that the file that they sent me is fine, but the true is that several user here have the same burning error....

Even the MCU version seems not to be the problem, because the people with bruning error have diferent MCU versions

Could it be any problem with the unit after the last update? Is it possible to restore the factory settings?

I will ask that to the support again...

Hello, i just installed new Andream with V1.1.2 (arrived last wheek) and 'menu' button switches on/off mmi and 'back' reset the mmi.

[Fishie]

I got an updated MCU for roadtop unit B. It is dated as of November 22 so it's pretty new. I will post the link to it later this week when I have some free time.

I'm thinking about installing a front camera... I already have the MMI unit and I looked on ali and the cameras are only around $30 CAD so I might as well.

Anyone recommend a specific brand or anything I should look for when picking the camera I get? Ideally, I would like to avoid screwing into the bumper but not sure if that's possible.

I will try to flash tomorrow and test it as well. Thanks

I saw a few for the F30 that fits in between the grills, with some clips. Sadly I couldn't find any for the F32. The F30 I have "kind of" fits. It fits the curvature of the grill on top, but not the width.

You're right. No luck, again....

I got a 9.2.9 firmware file from Carlinkit, hoped that this one will maybe work thinking they made something with the 9.2.10 version so that you can't downgrade/upgrade with any other file, but no, same thing. I get to the update screen, run the update and it just freezes there.

Try formatting the usb stick to mbr. Also make sure there is nothing else in the usb drive besides the ispbooot file.

Nothing changed. I formatted it with the mbr scheme and there is nothing else on the sitck other than the ispboot.bin file. The USB cable is working for sure, I connected my Android phone and it launched AA and was charging it. Now since it's dark outside I also saw what's happening with the small LED on the USB stick, how and when is it being read. So it's on as soon as the MMI boots up and it stays on all the time, as soon as I enter System Update and run the update in that moment the LED just turns off, nothing happens. I restart the MMI and it's there again.

Regarding force flash update, I hold "back" and turn on ignition (MMI was powered off prior to this) and the LED on the USB stick appears on for a second or two and then off, seconds later again on and then off, and this cycle goes on and on but nothing happens. It looks like MMI is trying to read the stick but can't.

Again, I reboot the MMI and all is good.

I either have a very stubborn unit or there's something else I'm doing wrong.
