Would theses boxes cause issues if the car is going in for a service and bmw need to update the idrive with servicing details? Or software updates?

Hello, i have a bmw f10 from 2015 and bought the Andream from AliExpress.
It came from tjechië in 4 days
Model nbt b-version, firmware B_1.1.2

[Firefly1337]

New version v2.1.1.5.gpe.b for Andream NBT A-Version is available on the 1st page.

The update is from:

created: 2020-12-22 16:03:43

Finally a new update for A-versions, so they didn't abandon them.
It matches the other '115 updates (like BR115 or B_V1.1.5).

Depends on the version and the car. On my E60/CIC with andream A the headunit shows up as faulty.

Awesome. I'm going to give this a try for a little bit until your next custom release just so I can temporarily avoid adjusting the volume every time a call comes in

Great work as usual

**What apps have you guys added that transfer over to your MMI?**

Hello,

Yesterday I changed the brake fluid with no issue. The service detail is recorded as always.

Mine is a 2016 GC with NBT Professional.

I have Andream B version for BMW_NBT. Just upgraded B_V1.1.2 => B_V1.1.5 successfully.

Didn't have chance to test everything but so far everything looks and sounds good! I am glad they increased the music volume. I don't hear any static on full volume like others reported. Prior the update my only complaint was wireless carplay connection. It was working 9 out of 10 times but sometime it was not connecting. Hopefully, that is fixed with the new update.

Quick question. My MCU version is 20.6.2.0. Is there any update for the MCU?
Thanks.

What are your settings for the iDrive aux input volume and the MMI volume settings?

Thanks

I haven't changed anything on iDrive. it is set to aux and haven't played with any other setting.

On Andream MMI, I have the following.
Volume: 18
Alter Volume: 13
Music Volume: 9
Speech Volume:12

Thanks for the update! Its possible now to use the steering buttons and car's blue-tooth, and I see more audio settings.
Unfortunately I'm missing a bit (in reverse full screen modus) the radar, like you made in your last custom update.
(NBT A-version Carplay user).

No, but if you have a warranty hopefully they dont notice.

I picked up the Andream touch screen version of this. Any chance you know how to turn on widescreen and stuff for those? Similar build.

Cheers I will try those later. If you could check the aux volume for me? Simply pressing on the aux icon, on the iDrive menu, it will show the volume. If you have time and remember next time you take the car.

Thanks again johnerg!

Hi, I have the same problem as you, static noise.

The sound on mmi is incredibly low, when I could barely hear something and I switch to Idrive radio it almost blow my ears... Dont know why...

For informations I use Spotify.

Maybe there is some options ?

And last, on mmi I only have 2 options for the sound : Volume and Alter Volume. Where do you find music volume ?

Thanks a lot for your help !

If you have an update file and the software is similar, then yes. Otherwise probably not.

No problems. Just checked and It is set at 0.

+1

I'd also be really interested in updating the MCU, I've seen a B-unit with 20.8.19.23 but can't find the file anywhere. If someone has a link that would be great.

I've successfully managed to upgrade from B_V1.1.2 to B_V1.1.5 without any problems using a 4GB FAT32 memory stick formatted on my Macbook Pro.

Unfortunately, my main gripe of not being able to use the MMI system once reverse has been engaged (particularly annoying when reversing and waiting for someone) hasn't been fixed. Anyone else find this as annoying as I do!?

1. The black screen (or reset of the unit?) happens sometimes under following conditions:

1.1. When I push the <Menu> button for about 3 seconds to switch from iDrive to RoadTop Interface and also from RoadTop interface to iDrive.

1.2. When I select <Exit> from main menu of RoadTop interface to go back to iDrive screen.
1.3. When I put the gearbox from D to R and also from R to D.

1.4. When I manually turn on Parking Distance Control (PDC) of iDrive.

My car's HU is CHAMP2 with a screen size of 6.5". I am narrowing down the possible root cause. It seems that the display electronics doesn't tolerate to sudden disconnection due to switch between MMI and original HU. But I am not sure yet and working on it

I have a 07/2009 build 328i with CIC nav and I just installed an Andream MMI unit.
I haven't played with Carplay/AA, but I am getting intermittent screen issues like you are describing.
For example, I can hear radio, but MMI screen is red, then it runs black after about a minute. Radio keeps working and steering controls/button do work, but I cannot see anything on screen.
I have reverse camera hooked up and that works when I go into reverse, but upon return, the screen remains red then black. I can get into MMI setup by holding Menu for 2 secs, but when I exit the MMI menu, the screen is red/black again.
For some reason, this morning CIC worked normally and now it doesn't.
Here is my version info:
SDK Version: 25.0.0.5.6.0.0.0
CUST Version: CHL_V1.1.2
MCU Version: 20.9.29.13
HW Version: BMW_CICHL

Thank you. Before reading you, I lowered my aux volume to 5. Everything else as yours, now the static can only be heard if you turn the knob all the waaaay up, like a lot. Much better. I'll keep playing with it a bit tomorrow.

Thanks again!

Not sure If I'm understanding you completely. While in reverse, I find if you push the "park assist" button (or whatever that button is called next to the shifter) it turns off the parking camera and puts the MMI back on the screen.
