The new Android 10!
This is the only seller on AliExpress I can find to sell Android 10 units. However there are only pictures of what looks like id6 UI and no description whatsoever. Found another Android 10 unit from them for E60 and it says that's 2GB RAM / 32GB storage but nothing else. Personally I think these are old rockchip units with Android 10 implementation just to move some old stock.

Under Specification you will find 32GB storage and 2GB RAM ... I agree, this seems to be old hardware units with Android 10 implementation. Not recommended.

Hello,

Anyone know how to set the display to show idrive side of things properly? I’ve tried all the possible combinations under ‘display type’ in factory settings and idrive still cuts off dates etc.

Hi, I think you have to change some options from the OEM display config menu.

Do we really need Android 10, unless there are more functions or better idrive integration ? I don't think so .
The only problem might be that makers stop development for Android 9, while doing better things in Android 10 .
And for the same hardware, an upgrade might be possible.

Weird, i don`t know why, but that does also not work, either on my computer, my laptop and my mobile, wired internet nor LTE provider
Maybe some region block ?
Can you post a picture of the ad, where i can see seller, product, and type ?
Maybe i find it then.

Hi everyone,

One question to everyone who has an idrive controller which you can push in directions UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT besides rotating.
In Android pushing the idrive controller downwards doesn't seem to do anything but pushing UPWARDS it does. Anyone observed the same or is my idrive controller broken?

I unfortunately cannot check the funcionality on OEM side as I only have ENTRY EVO HU.

Thank You!

The reverse camera was still showing "no signal" message. The after market reverse camera was working fine earlier both on the new Android 9.0 Snapdragon and the earlier unit of Android 4.4. It looks like I may have blown a fuse of the car or something else in the car. However the reverse lights are working in the car and I checked the fuses mentioned in my F30 which are for the music player but no problems there. Does anyone know from where the Android unit draws power for the +12 V power line for reverse camera?
I finally solved the problem. Realised that with whatever I had done earlier the +12V (red) power connection from the Android unit was not having power. So now I took a fuse tap from the boot side fuse box (fuse number 162). Powered both the front and reverse camera with this tap. Finally have both the front camera and the reverse camera working fine.

In the process of trying to update bits and pieces I have wiped the offline sat nav and map packs. Can anyone recommend me an offline file with map packs.

Ill just mail them tomorrow hopefully for some advice.

The seller doesn't ship to Germany, try changing location to France.

But for $260, this is obviously not a new unit. Here is a few screenshots, is this not also old software?

I wonder if one can use the latest mcu update on the old pX3 units.
I just took a look at my (current) px3 unit and the MCU seems to be the same as on the PX6 hardware.





What do you guys think?
Update worth a try?
I'm currently rather unsatisfied with my PX3 unit as it crashes a lot (fuzzy image in android, looking like gpu driver crash).

No one with an 2-axis idrive controller? A short feedback would be highly appreciated as if I have an defective unit I have to revoke it.

Thank you for your help.

You're right, button down does not work on Android side.
