Im getting tinted windows (20% light) on the back so that might perhaps create a need for a camera, but believe that the sensors might be enough

On another note, my order through the forum group went through now and has been shipped with tracking number

I expect the sensors will perform the same as now. I have sensors and camera and both work perfectly. Glad your system is on the way! Be sure to check the other thread for help and hints once you get installed.

Glad I found this place . Purchased a HU and a back-up cam for my '14 F32 - can't wait! Added myself to the google doc too.

Is there a place I get get parking sensors aftermarket? How would I hook these up with the new HU?

Primarily interested in the front parking sensors - iirc a F30 I've driven previously had sensors all around in addition to a backup cam.

Somehow interest seems low?
Weird since we are making major steps with the software at the moment

I wonder how many are buying without comment. I was surprised to see the names of members in the experience thread, who had purchased first go around, but had no comment in the original thread.

Yeah, well I tried.. still I saw positive responses on the first page of this thread and never heard from them again....
Not forcing anyone or something but this will probably the last groupbuy I do without buying something myself....
I really love the system

Hats off to you regardless. Even with Louie making the whole process seamless (folks, you will not find a better supplier to deal with) there is still trepidatition to purchase an item like this.

Heck... I purchased the first one, so I know!

2. DVR: USD25

Option two, DVR for $25 is that for a front camera?
If yes, is there anyway to order this camera separately?

Is it worth the upgrade when this headunit causes poor sound quality?

That's my concern also.
Would really like all the features, but I'm not interested in bad audio quality.

Is the audio quality also affected, when using the native BMW interface "original car"?

From what I've read, the issue stems from the sound card inside this head unit (which would lead to this issue no matter what setting). I may be mistaken though.

I installed my screen yesterday and can confirm that OEM audio is unaffected and works great. Both radio and Bluetooth. The android side has poorer audio which I am troubleshooting, but I can always play oem music and still have gps via android (with gps voice instructions that come through fine for voice).

I am happy with the screen and would buy it still even if only OEM interface was all that was offered

That's really great news.. Thank you for replying.
I'm a bit worried that the Android-interface and functions doesn't live up my standard. But if the OEM functionality and quality is un-affected, then at least you get a nice 10 inch screen.

Where did you order?

Ugode through the link in this forum:
PURCHASE LINK: https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...374971d2RmFZUw

I bought the screen and the carplay adapter. Lightning fast delivery (like 1 week from order date from China). Also the majority of people in this forum (https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...500481&page=60) use this setup which is a good source for info with 60 pages of comments
