Got my box installed yesterday and today. I only use CarPlay and have an iPhone X so no experience with AA. Everything within CarPlay seems to work pretty well. No complaints after about an hour of usage.
So I've got a '14 NBT HU /w nav, HK & Sirius. It wasn't possible to fit everything behind or under my head unit. After trying, I ended up having to remove my glovebox to fit the unit between the right pocket of the head unit. Quite a bit of T20 undrilling & need to drop the bottom passenger airbag. Followed Kies video for that part. Even the wiring harness barely fit back there, definitely was a tight fit for me. Ran into an issue where I had no radio signal or sound. I realized that I had to transfer over the two green fiber optic cables from my original harness. If you run into this, make sure they are re-inserted back into the new harness in the right direction (messed this up the first time). Ended up being more of a pain than I anticipated and took me quite a while to get everything squared away and reassembled. Mostly due to the glovebox part I wasn't expecting. Sound quality seems good on my HK system with wireless using Spotify CarPlay on my phone. You can notice some slightly degraded quality with very high volume, but there's an equalizer and volume settings you can play around with. Called my gf and she told me it sounded perfectly fine on my end (OEM mic). Saying "Hey Siri" allows me to do whatever through the unit without touching anything. I think there's a button shortcut for this too? But not sure what that is. Used Waze and had no issues - worked exactly as expected in full screen. I have heads up display. So when sound is playing via CarPlay, you can control the CarPlay menu using the steering wheel controls. However the heads up display populates a message saying "action not available in AUX mode" or something, while you scroll from your steering wheel. That's really the only "non OEM" drawback. Also updated my box before I set it up - successfully flashed from v2.0.2.4 (which it came with) to the latest v2.0.2.5 Definitely worth the upgrade, very happy so far.

Yeah, I guess not necessarily needed, but *if* you want to code something in your HU_NBT_EVO (ID4), you probably have to disconnect your CarPlay box since it seems to interfere with bimmercode and e-sys at at least. So disconnect CarPlay box, code the HU, then reconnect the CarPlay box which can be a bit time consuming and annoying. I'm a bit concerned about unscrewing the panel and HU too many times.

Yeah. It's tricky to communicate the issue to Andream. Their support answers fast and seems to mean well, but the issue sort of get lost in translation. At least they said they would send the issue to their engineers. It might just be a 2016 HU_NBT EVO ID4 issue, and you have better luck. If they fix this issue in a software update I would be genuinely impressed.

Hi. I have a question about how the MMIs work. If I have a CarPlay MMI installed in my car and my phone is connected to the MMI wirelessly, but I am in the native BMW environment (listening to FM or Sirius) and I get a call or a text, will I know? Does the MMI interrupt what I'm listening to, so I know I have a call?
Thanks. |
