Recently, my carlinkit unite start acting weird. Specifically with android auto and I am running v2.0.B0.mod.
  • Wire AA connection disconnect and reconnect randomly while charging still continue.
  • The blue cursor disappeared now no matter it's wire AA or wireless.(I can still scroll and select). Restart the unit doesn't help. Wipe AA cache doesn't fix it.
  • AA UI looks pixelated no matter it's wire connection or wireless connection especially in white background. Sometimes it get worse, sometimes it get better.(see attached pic)
Anyone has the same problem or any idea how to fix it? I will try to reflash the firmware at weekend. Thanks in advance.
Try deleting both cache and data from the AA, Google Play Services, and Google apps and pair the phone from scratch.

Hey guys,

Just got my Andream unit. I ordered the A, but received the B unit with version B_1.0.3. Android auto is still streched with this version on my 8.8inch screen.

I tried to install both B_1.0.4 and B_1.0.4_2 (which should have correct AA widescreen fix), but after a minute of 'updating', it shows me the message "Burning failed", and starts the update again, looping. After a reset, it returns to original firmware (1.0.3)

Anyone know why this is happening? Why cant the unit be updated?

Mine works wirelessly with MIUI 10. You need to go into wifi preferences and turn on wlan assistant. Or just delete the MMI wifi network from the list and the next time it connects choose to keep mobile data on.

Did you order from the Andream store on Aliexpress? If so just send them a message with a photo of your AA stretched screen and the version info. They should be able to send you the right update file.

I haven't noticed anyone else with a 2.0.3 version here yet.

Andream MMI Box - Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto

Anyone having any issue with Whatsapp within Carplay since the ios 14.0 update?

Mine just says "Something went wrong". I have updated the app and just done the ios 14.0.1 update. Only difference now is that it tries to function but when I send the message it says "There was a problem with the app", but I find from my phone that the message was actually sent!!

All was working okay before the ios update

I have the iPhone XR

I have a Mix3 with Miui12 also from Xiaomi.eu. Still shows the mobile data prompt provided your home WiFi isn't visible. I reported it on their forum but it's a core miui bug. Instead I just plug in a cable and that works just fine.

It looks similar and seems to do exactly the same thing as the other units listed in this post. Unfortunately it seems to be running a different version of the software compared to anything listed in the original post.

I tried all the software update codes to try to figure out which brand this is but no luck. I did it without a usb key plugged in; not sure if that makes a difference if i just want to validate the code.

CUST version: v2.1.0.8.rj.b
MCU: 20.6.2.0



What's the trick to get the update code?
That is a new sw version on me.

Ask the seller for an update and they should provide you the pin code at the same time then.

Out of interest what does the menu / settings screens look like ?

I fixed this by setting the WiFi connection to the cars ssid to a metered data connection, that way it uses the unmetered cellular data.

I have just upgraded my Andream firmware and MCU, and that solved the freezing, black screen issues on iOS14. I used the latest firmware and MCU that is on the first page on this forum. I have CIC.

Firmware v2.1.0.9.gpe.c
MCU 20.6.18.15

I asked the seller and waiting on an answer.

The menu looks exactly like the default Andream one. white icons on black bg.

Just installed the andrem unit and I don't think my sub woofers have any sound output.

I adjusted the eq and found the best setting online but it sounds very flat and can't seem to get any sub woofer involvement.

Anyone else have this issue.
I transfered over both fiber optic cables.
No one else has noticed the same issue?

Nope because if you are getting sound from your other speakers then the subs should be working as well. The unit does not push dedicated sound to woofers your amp does. SO it doesnt make sense. Keep playing around with BW's tone option and not the MMI.

That's honestly what I thought.

I playedusic through the radio on the HU to confirm it wasn't an HU issue but through that I confirmed that the subwoofers are working. When I switch back to the mmi the subs don't play anything.

I reached out to andream and this was there response:

"I confirmed with our engineer that since your subwoofer is directly connected to the original car system, it does not pass through our system, so it cannot be used."

Not sure if they mean it shouldn't be an issue with their box or that it just doesn't work.

Make sure your EQ settings aren't cutting the subs out for the AUX source

Guys, the sound is going to AUX input, and the car system is taking care of the rest.

Not sure if the amp that controls the under seat woofers has a fuse. Did you power down before installing and accidentally reconnect while powered on?

Have you tried to reinstall to factory method and see if the subs turn back on? That would isolate it to either the harness adapter or unit.

Thanks for the suggestions. So the subs work when I play music through Bluetooth or the radio on the original unit but no sub output when I play through the andream unit. I maxed the lower frequencies on the eq and still nothing the bass from the other speakers increases but I checked and don't get any sound from the woofer.

Where did you heard about that ? As far as could read Andream unit have the same issue and no fix yet.
On my side I will stay on IOS 13 (I always wait a few months before upgrading to a major update release) but even with it I see the issue from time to time (only when connected via WiFi)
