Also as a newbie I would like to find out how to set CCC controller buttons to work with android as now when I press radio or tel or cd this activate function in OEM side not in android. But buttons like Menu, Back, Options, Nav or joystick itself working just fine with android.. so if is anyway to set other buttons that would be nice to know how to do it..? Thanks. Marcin

Armrest AUX does not go directly to HU, but goes to combox once. So in the Android harness, the AUX is bypassed, the audio runs backwards, enters the BOX and comes to the armrest. Therefore, I guess that resistance is born and the sound becomes muddy.
I wrote about this trick before. Aux connector board has 2 bypass capacitors that affect the audio signal. First order low pass filter. The capacitance is big enough to roll off high frequency. I have my android 4.4 unit modified to improve sound quality. With pure selection of resistor and cap values the unit has enormous low frequency roll off 9dB at 30 Hz or more. I measured input impedance on my aux input and it was 180 ohms at 100Hz and around 1kohm at 1kHz and 10kHz. Android 4.4 and 7.1 units have series resistors on aux output (not sure about newer models). Basically horrible match by all accounts. With android 8.1 and I believe android 9 units usb audio drivers became available so one could use usb dac. Otherwise units must be modified and ideally I line buffer added with very low output impedance. Not all phones with headphone jack can drive aux input port on bmw. Getting sound quality good as oem is not physically possible no mater what one may imagine. Though you could get really close with correct hardware.

Attached you can see a comparison between zlink AA and Head unit reloaded 4.6b1 from XDA, full screen works perfect with setting it to 1280x720 @ 160 dpi in Head unit reloaded.

I have not tried the wifi version of Android auto, which Head Unit reladed would support, so far i am satisfied with the USB mode.

regarding the software update package, I will contact the seller if it is ok to share, because is is from a password protected blog.
That was me who asked the question. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Does anyone know how to get the dashboard app to display MPH and the Door Open display??

I thought it was just a limitation of the app, but opening it in Android Studio it has the images and references for these things?!

Is there a preferred car-play dongle on aliexpress or amazon? Or do they all do the same thing.

It's little cheaper from aliepxress but if you can't wait I'd go with amazon. Just look for one with mic support or with wireless support.
I bought this one and got it next day. Works as advertised. It charges my work iphone Xs just fine. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Awesome thanks, does it work with the iDrive controller? I think I read above some had to modify some files... Either way this is great, Cant wait to install.

Just placed an order for the 10.25" Android 9.0 (Pie) through Avinusa. Was a little concerned ordering it as there is no way to specify if the car is CIC or NBT but the sales persons told me that it fits all 2013+ f30 in the U.S because supposedly they are all 6 pin connector. ( I have a 2013 f30 with CIC) Haven't had the time to check if mine is actually a 6 pin but ordered it anyways because I was feeling impulsive.

So can anyone confirm that all 2013+ f30 in the us have 6 pin connectors? Thanks

Per Bimmertechs chart my car says CIC 2013 w/8-12 build date, I just confirmed my car was 6pin NBT style so you should be good to go

(4P CIC)

(6P NBT)
How to check 4P or 6P can be found on the original menu screen. The menu design is different, but the top item “CD / Multimedia” is 4P (CIC). “Multimedia” is 6P (NBT).

FAKRA for normal Android harness (EVO)
There are male and female harnesses. As a result, USBAUX can be used. If this is not possible, an AUX will appear with HU coding and a sound will be produced. If AUX appears in coding, it can be used in plug and play.
※There are precautions when installing EVO Android. EVO has an ID6 menu display for HU ID5 programs. Therefore, if you do not use the MCU with the matching ID, a bug will occur and the screen will be dark. Please be careful.

Certainly it is present in a few car models…. In that case, I think that the button notation of the controller of iDrive is different. The upper left button is CIC with 4P CD. I remember that the media is 6P CIC.
