I’ve found a work round for this after a couple of hours of messing.
Firstly, when not connected to the mmi, load Google Maps and in Settings, find Navigation settings. In there, set the sound level to loud. The next thing I did was in the MMI Audio setting, select the EQ. Reduce all the frequencies to around -5. I found that if you do them all equally, it sounds the same but reduces the volume for all sound volume streamed ie Tune in radio, Spotify, BBC Sounds, etc but doesn’t reduce the Navigation announcements therefore making the Navigation louder than the radio. Been out for a drive and it’s now the same volume levels I had on the stock navigation announcements with the radio! One bug I’ve noticed. If you have the volume set to say 50% on the I-drive and you reset the MMI (hold the menu button down), it resets the volume to almost mute in the mmi but it’s still 50% through the I-drive. To get round this, you have to set the volume to 0 on the I-drive and then complete a reset in the mmi. This sets both to the same levels. |

I am curious the case - what will happen?
1) connect by USB to the OEM port in car. It should then use something called Bluetooth through USB. It is always engaging when i am using spotify by bmw apps (NBT not evo) By this way i can hear all sounds from the cellphone as navigation on mobile, spotify or just usb music from OEM speakers, and as a 'source' i am picking the 'usb'. I noticed it is engaging only on iPhone. 2) after step 1 (set source as "BT via USB" (dont remember exact name)) connect to the carplay What i would like to achieve - to transfer all phones audio via OEM USB - after that maybe it will also transfer calls via usb/bt? |

He is U.S. based so the unit arrived in about 2-3 days. Andream may now be shipping their new unit exclusively which isn't compatible with the custom firmware. |

The 20.6.2 mcu from andream / carlinkit works fine and the scroll wheel works the correct way in carplay. |

Flashed 2.0, everythings perfect. The revisions I made for myself seem to work as well. With 2.0 lost the ability to do a custom boot logo via the menu.

When you update to the new software it will be much more responsive

just a quick observation I had set my wifi channel to 6 on the new software - like I did with the Andream software and the performance on the new software was not usable - 1-2 second lag for control movements to update on the screen - i changed the value to 36 and its as smooth as an otter again.
Perhaps something sorted itself under the reboot - but if anyone is having performance issues on the custom firmware do try changing the wifi channel. |

I'm really struggling with my Android not using Mobile data when connected to the MMI.
i have gone into settings on my phone and enabled "switch to mobile data" - use mobile data whenever your WI-FI internet is connection is slow or unstable. this has not worked as when i am connected to the MMI wifi i am still offline and unable to stream or use maps correctly. on my phone i also have no connection if i try search anything in google. so no data is coming through at all. if i disconnect the WIFI i get data perfectly over mobile network. Samsung S10 Android 10 v2.0.0.B0.mod 20.6.2.0 (i never changed this from its original) any help will be greatly appreciated Last edited by Furbz; 08-05-2020 at 06:41 AM.. |

Having tried v2.0.0.B0.mod I think I may go back to v1.0.A0.mod.
I couldn't get a reliable wireless connection to AA whilst also being connected to the OEM bluetooth (though when it did work it was great). And my Pixel 3 wouldn't auto-connect to AA. With v1, when you plugged in an Android phone via USB it took you through the full AA setup including wireless. But with v2 it doesn't take you through the wireless part of the setup. I also notice 'OK Google' works but doesn't understand what I'm saying, whereas in v1 it worked fine. And the text on Google Maps is a little pixelated. I know it's not a big deal. v2 also seemed a little 'laggy' but that may be my perception. Great work though! EDIT: Seems to be working after a reboot of everything.
