Not sure if this was discussed in the thread. After installing the head unit I am unable to turn off the daytime running lights/angel eyes in the OEM interface. I think it does uncheck but the lights stay on...

Without really believing it too much : while looking with you for an internet solution, I read that by modifying the type of display NO SIGNAL could disappear, what did you choose in the MENU FACTORY for your vehicle ?

I just read also that the blue connection (gps) badly inserted behind the screen could be the cause, to check also

I never had this option in my OEM unit maybe from the "factory menu" you can find a control option (I think I saw that)

Otherwise by coding this is done very well

Tried all options from factory menu, same problem, the blue wire but...why google maps works..?

[F20_M135i]

because google map only uses wifi geolocation (from your phone) and not the GPS function of your unit

I still want to connect the the OEM bluetooth for phone calls because the microphone is much better but I'd like to connect to the Android bluetooth so that I can stream some audio from my phone.

I've tried going into my phone's bluetooth settings for the Android HU connection and unselect Calls so that only Audio is selected but each time I do this the bluetooth connection is disconnected. The only way to keep the bluetooth connection on is to have the Calls setting selected. Any ideas?

At the moment started my project to adjust the factory xml file, removing unnecessary parameters ;-)

Someone any idea what these parameters wthin the xml factory file really do?
I can't figure out what the options 1/2/3/ do?

<!-- AUX ??????: 1:??? 2:?? 3: ??-->
<CarAux_auto_method>2</CarAux_auto_method>
<!-- ??AUX????: 0:???? 1:???? -->

Removing entries in the xml file does not speed up anything, "best" effect can be that something does not work correctly anymore because it is not configured at all after a update.

You can find a translated xml file here.

Hi All,
Anyone have the firmware for BMW 10.25 Android 8.1?

Yes.. Fair answer🙆, how i can remove the wire who provide 12v to gps? Is the blue one? I mean from bmw unit..


I ve read here to code with bimmercode the resolution.. It could be same problem here? My original screen was 6.5 inch

[F20_M135i]

the blue cable behind the unit, to the back of the screen is the GPS cable, but I don't know if it is powered at 12 volts.
It is indeed possible that the coding of the resolution via bimmercode (for example) is the solution, but your seller must be able to advise you, or even, exchange your unit?

[ande86]

If you have NBt you can code the resolution with bimmercode. There are two things you have to code. 1 the resolution and 2. broad screen

Hi,
code what where and how?
I'm used to coding and I haven't seen anything to change the display resolution (in BimmerCode at least).
And I don't understand why you have to do a resolution coding to resolve the fact that a GPS signal does not pass

[daschacka]

Can anyone recommend a front dvr camera for the unit?
I Guess USB would be the easiest solution because i wouldnt have to mess with the other cables?
I saw a couple on amazon but i dont know which would be "good"

Is so low and slow, is possible to change or modify it to up the power at 2.1A?

I think adding out power to usb with a AC 5V 2.1A but don't touching the data cables?

Thanks
And sorry for my english.

Hi, im working on this adding a 5v 2.1A and diode on red positive from Screen to prevent send any to it... Tomorrow y try it on unit!!!

I can tell you tomorrow where you have to code but to be honest I don´t think that it will help with your gps issue, you will just have full screnn and the native resolution for the screen instead of the 6.5 resolution and the fuel info on the right side

I have a 2012 f20 with combox and business nav. with Bimmercode there is no option for the resolution (only the broad screen) on my s606 unit. so far I know it's not possible. would be nice because than I could choose the 8,8 " screen option in my aftermarket HU so far I know the beemer build year has to be 2014 up. but of course it would be nice if I'm wrong

thanks for the advice. I did't want to change everything, I only removed the unnecessary navigation apps and cic unit options because I have nbt. like to keep it lean, until know it's working fine. but wenn it goes wrong I will make notice of it. . Anyway I love the idea of the translated version of the XML. going to look at it tomorrow! thanks!

[ande86]

Here´s what I had to code in my F20 2017 with bimmercode:

1. HU_NBT > 3000 HMI > DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION = (here you choose size and resolution)

2. HU_NBT > 3001 EXBOX > DISPLAY_VARIANTE = breites_display (means broad display)

if you have CIC coding is obviously not possible

[F20_M135i]

Hello and thank you guys for your explanations,

It is not me who meets the concern for resolution but @b777rky who has "no signal" when using a GPS app in his unit.

Anyway, so to code with BimmerCode thanks to the explanation of @ande86 you have to do :

- Headunit
- Expert mode
- 3000 HMI
- DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION = (here you choose size and resolution) Picture 1 BimmerCode
- Choose "code" and wait the unit reboot
And you go back to :
- Headunit
- Expert mode
- 3001 EXBOX
- DISPLAY_VARIANTE = breites_display (means broad display) Picture 2 BimmerCode
- Choose "code" and wait the unit reboot

So see if this solves the problem described "no signal" (personally I do not believe it)

I had this done on mine. Although my head unit used to say "HU_EntryNav" or similar as well, I have just checked and it now says "HU_CICNBT" on BimmerCode, which is weird.
Anyway, in my case I could not do "DISPLAY_SIZE_RESOLUTION" as it didn't show up, just the "DISPLAY_VARIANTE". Then on the configuration from the Android HU I had changed the display to "6.5 Full Display".

But when you do that, i see very bad the full screen with very bad resolution.. i dont know if there is any solution for that
