So you think I should try with only 1 and 3 on and 2 is off? I'll try that and update you. Thank you so much for your help

Maybe that's messing up the entire camera system. I hope it works.

I am excited to get my andream box coming in this weekend and literally the only thing I found missing on my 2014 328xi. I would like to know what the latest version of software everyone is using for their boxes. I plan to use the apple carplay with this and see the latest version in 3rd post to be v2.0.2.7.gpe.b (20.1.7). I see people talking about the Bimmertech version here but not sure which one of it is the latest and if so is it better than the Andream's latest version.

Is that the best place to order from??

Do you guys have your phones placed on a mount even with this CarPlay/AA solution?

I'd love to see pics to get an idea of how I'm going to do my setup.

On a wireless charger.

Sort of fits in the cup holder thing with some 3M tape .

Cool I just ordered one to replace my joyeauto unit. I'm hoping it's better since it uses the factory mic and I've read that Siri works with the steering wheel button.

What is wrong with your Joyeauto unit?

So here is my solution to the mmi echo issue during phone calls:

Mission Darkness Non-Window Faraday Bag for Phones - Device Shielding for Law Enforcement, Military, Executive Privacy, Travel & Data Security, Anti-Hacking & Anti-Tracking Assurance https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A7MACL2..._DUguEbHYG1PYH

The pouch completely blocks the mmi's bt signal and I am now able to reliably make and receive calls with the stock bmw bt with no issues and no echo on wired AA.

I don't like the echo and it seems that more progress is being made with these units. Also I want the steering wheel Siri to work. Do those work for you?

[xDHC]

Someone posted a solution for the echo several times a few pages back. I applied that and the echo is gone on AA. Did you try that?

If you're asking me I just ordered the andream unit yesterday.. the joyeauto one I currently have doesn't have the same settings. Does the steering wheel Siri button work for you if you don't use idrive Bluetooth?

[xDHC]

Yes

[Wampenmann]

Has anyone noticed a difference on AA between the volume of music (e.g. Amazon Music) which is at normal volume and on the other hand navigation (waze and Google maps) or calls barley hearable? Can't find a solution to this.

Though I guess it's more a problem of my mobile (mi mix 2) rather than the box. Has anyone found a fix for a stable Internetconnection? WiFi is great and having 4G (after allowing mobile data while connected to WiFi) I still facing the problem that some options still won't work every second try. Music doesn't show covers and won't come up with online content and so on.

One thing I'm not able to understand after reading all the information in page 1.
It says that Andream box does not support NBT EVO with ID5/6, but it says also that the box is pretty similar to the Bimmertech MMI Prime.
When I check on Bimmertech website with my VIN, it says that my car is compatible.
At this point, I'm confused.
Can someone clarify ?

No one can answer ?

Did you ask andream? When its a question about sales of the product they reply quite fast.

His baseline settings are slightly different than Andream's. I used a second phone to attempt to optimize my settings and landed on the attached configuration. I wil try them out this week and see how it goes...

Finally after some call tests I have chosen the Andream FW with the attached settings. My wife didn’t hear echo without noticeable differences compared with BT BMW. By my side, I’m not be able to detect big quality sound differences between both ways...The only doubt that I have now it’s if MMI uses both mics installed in my car or only the drive side...is not a big issue but only for curiosity...
Regards and thanks so much for the support!!

i would need this, because unichip won't give it to me they just ask me to buy their new wireless unit instead.

thanks!

Did you find a working firmware for your wired box? I got the wired box from the link below (Carlinke) and also got the same reply 'exchange for the wireless version'. The only thing that bothers me atm is the low resolution/low contrast when using navigation apps like Waze and Google Maps. Maybe a software update does the trick..

I am glad that it worked for you.

I listen to FM radio sometimes and always preferred the stock bmw bt for the call quality and the ability to hear the phone ring while listening to the radio.

I wish that there was a way to turn off the mmi's bt signal in the settings. But I posted my solution using a faraday pouch a few posts back that completely blocks the mmi's bt signal so it doesn't compete with the stock bt on my phone. It's working great so far.
