We really could use a toggle for full screen maps for wide-screen, whether we get it, time will tell...Split screen should be used, only for phone calls and messages then revert back to full screen maps.

Agreed. Don't understand why split screen is active, even if only maps is used. One of life's great mysteries.

I just received and installed my Andream unit (I went with the touch screen option vs the box, and I'm glad I did because i had practically ZERO room behind my HU or slack with the cabling, my goodness...) but I've run into a snag - first day and a half, GREAT. Wireless CarPlay with my iPhone XS worked mostly seamlessly (USB worked just fine too but isn't my ideal setup so Wireless FTW) However it didn't connect after I ran to grab lunch, and since then I cannot get my phone to even see the BT or WiFi connection.

Fire up car -> screen loads > tap Wireless CarPlay > screen says no bluetooth devices connected and displays both the BT name and the WiFi credentials -> check for available BT connections on my phone -> nada enchilada. BT/WiFi connections on the screen don't appear on my phone. I 'forgot' the existing connections from my phone and removed the car from General > CarPlay but still no dice. CarPlay works over USB if I connect the phone and do it that way, but it won't let me register or connect for Wireless CarPlay. Any ideas??

9.5.10 for B2 hardware version:

No change log of course) No newer MCU available.

UPD. It works on my carlinkit b1, they added youtube.

Upd2. Works much faster in Android Auto wireless mode.

Hi! Did you use ISPBOOT or GEMINI PACK from the first link? I used ISPBOOT and now unit doesn't boot anymore. Tried force flash with no result. Hardware is B1.

I read a post a while back stating that these units crap out after about 2 years.

Maybe the antenna wire on the box is disconnected?

Can anyone confirm if this latest update for CIC B2 version has the new youtube shortcut in this firmware update?

I flashed the ispbooot.bin on my Carlinkit v1 unit with no issues. It works great so far.

Hm, maybe. I've only had mine since April 2020.

Updated to NBT2 1.5.9 and all fine. Don't see any technical reason for these units to break after 2 years, strange story.
Read some messages about bad quality mmi-audio and bluetooth being better.
I have standard setup with 10 speakers and updated all speakers with HK. This was a huge improvement. Quality from Carplay and wired mmi is great. Mainly use RadioNet (Holland-app) streaming 320kb radio and hear 0 improvement over bluetooth. Have little extra on the mmi-equalizer and flat from BMW sound setting.
Thing i agree is slow charging, i'm using an iPhone 12 mini, wired and when i start with full battery it just keeps up. For the rest it's great value for money.
Don't understand all these people try wrong software updates and brick the mmi unit. First page is very clear and until now each, by Firefly checked, update is an improvement.

Haven't been following for a while as my Carlinkit has been running great on my X5 with the custom firmware.

Can anyone comment on benefits to updating to the latest Carlinkit firmware and mcu over custom version?

thanks in advance!⁶

What was the time gap between device rebooted and update screen appeared? So mine rebooted and stayed on the black screen for 5-10 minutes. Due to nothing changed I tried to force flash, but the same story. Even I tried to downgrade to the 9.2.20 and custom, but still the same story. Black screen...

About 30 secs I think. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the power cable.

There are a few extra settings options in the Carlinkit software and the ability to play YouTube. Also likely updated wifi and bluetooth drivers. But if the custom version works well for you the above may not be reason enough to flash the new software.

Does anyone know how to figure out the model number of my MMI?

I use AA and the view is still pretty stretched on my 8.8in NBT screen, even though toggle switches are set correctly.
I'd like to flash the MMI with the more recent software that fixes the stretch issue, however I'm aware that flashing it with wrong SW file might brick the unit.

I bought this unit second hand and unfortunately the seller does not have any information as to what the model number is.

Here's all the information I have:

Sticker on the MMI itself: 1904-NBT-LC

SDK Version: 25.0.0.5.6.0.0.0
CUST Version: B_V1.0.3
MCU Version: 20.6.2.0
HW Version: BMW_NBT

Any help will be highly appreciated!

You have an Andream B version. The latest sw from page 1 is B_V1.5.9.

I've uploaded both files and give carlinkit possibility to choose, so I'm not sure which one, but works flawlessly and much faster than 9.2.20 for me.

Lacks automatic aux switching and automatic view switching though, which is really annoying.

[jmalm32]

Which version do you recommend for a CIC E90 with wireless AA?

What is the sound quality? I have an Android screen and the sound quality is very bad, I had to put an external sound card to improve the sound.

Thanks
