Thanks for taking the time to put the APK together - greatly appreciated.
You are welcome! Maybe you can take a look at the factory settings. There is an option to configure the voice button functionality. For me, long press on the voice button will start the navigation app by default.

Many thanks
If you can find the android voice command app id, "com.google.xxx" for example, I can also do it for you.

Tasker / Automate / MacroDroid are APPS that will allow you to launch programs or settings tasks right after you start your Android unit

Maybe you need to ROOT your unit for it to work, at least with TASKER (which I use) it does. In the first age of this thread, you have the method to ROOT your unit, then try to grant privileges for your chosen application, and restart the task.

I found no changes regarding memorykiller, so if you have no issue with your actual 2.3.6 is see no reason to update so far.

  • Feature: New GUI ID7_ALS, inluding Music/Video player and Settings page all in a blue design
  • Feature: Speedplay now setup able via Factory config file , but unknown which license is requires.
  • Update: Centerservice updates to target Hicar and Speedplay
  • Update: EasyConnected update targeting better Scaling
  • Change: "Phonelink" tile hard coded to ZLINK now, so not able to replace by KswRedirect anymore for now !

Hi again guys, I return with some more question

Anyone here using spotify in the HU too? Is there any way to make it run as a phone?

In my old ford fiesta, the android HU is registered as a phone, that way the spotify can work in phone mode, with the visual short video clip played, and it can even integrate in the Google Maps and Waze interface (showing the title and next prev button in the maps interface)

But in this F30 HU I guess the HU is registered as a tablet, that way the spotify interface is very basic, just showing the playlist and small "currently playing song" in the bottom left. And in the Gmaps and waze there is also nothing shown

Did you also make sure to update to Kri's revised factory_config.xml?

At a minimum, 2.6.1 and that factory file are needed for the UI you want to show up in the factory settings list, afaik.

Alexa Amazon in to Android 10 HU SD625

Hi guys, congratulations for the excellent, interesting and useful post for managing android in our BMW. As the title suggests, I wanted to install the Alexa App on my Android 10 updated to the latest version by following your guides, Alexa installs itself but when you start it it blocks saying that it is impossible to continue with the installation. This was also done in the original configuration upon purchase.
Anyone can give me some explanation I need to make some changes to the factory file?
Thanks Pino

new Hardware coming

It seems new Headunit Hardware did appear faster than thought.

For serval Mercedes and BMW cars there are now new Headunits available, spec so far known are:
  • 4/8 core 2.0 Ghz MTK Processor (2/4 core unknown MTK, 8 Core seem to be Helio P60 CPU )
  • 2/8 GB RAM
  • 32 /64GB / 128 GB Flash Memory.
  • Android 10 ?
  • Available configurations Core / Memory / flash :
    4C / 2GB / 32GB
    8C / 8GB / 64GB
    8C / 8GB / 128GB

In Terms of raw performance the new CPU seems to be around +30 ~ +100% faster than the Snapdragon 625 CPU.

However as the SD625 CPU with 4GB ram does have not real performance issue at the moment its not sure yet what benefit that new hardware will have at all.
On this upgrade the more important factor is the Software.


The shops are still using images from Snapdragon 625 Headunits, so its also not known which Android Image is installed.

As MTK processors are in general not used that much it likely may be that lots of the modification tools wont work.
As of now there is also no BMW/MB MTK headunit known tha has been rooted successfully .

So if someone already got such a new Hardware it would be cool if we could do some remote analyzing (Laptop+ Internet required) to see what that headunits are performing and what software is installed.

I`ll update this post when new information is available.

Finally got around to finishing my Avin install in my E82, however seems few steps forward, one step back. This what I have connected:
- Android Auto Dongle (working fine)
- DAB+ (got it to work)
- Rear parking camera (working when in reverse and at the moment without additional power)
- Front DVR

I have one USB dedicated to the Android Auto and the other using an aftermarket hub to connect the DAB+, its antennae and the front DVR. However with both DVR and DAB plugged in, neither will work. I've tried a different USB hub to no effect.

Any ideas of how to get these all working harmoniously together or is this simply the limitation of this device i.e. can only have two full powered dongles attached at a time

Ok I'll try to change the language to the whole unit. I hope that after installing Alexa I can return to the Italian language.
