I'm a bit confused tho. The initialising message implies a state in the Ugode HUD which prevents it from becoming ready. Not sure how an external phone would affect that state on the HUD.
Sorry I misunderstood. It's not about pairing a device its about Bluetooth getting stuck initializing.
Have you searched 'Bluetooth' on this thread?
Can you tell us more about your setup...
What versions of the firmware and software do you have at present? Are they the same versions you had when Bluetooth did initialize?

I've got an issue with CarPlay, I'm not sure if I'm the only one..
With the latest update everything works perfectly, BUT when I receive calls it switches to the OEM interface.. Does anybody know how to solve this issue?

Note: I'm connected to the OEM system with bluetooth because of the microphone (which works great with CarPlay since the last update).

I'm on the latest MCU and app version available from the Google drive on the first post. The last time I paired my phone was on the initial MCU and app version that came with the unit. I believe it was a March 2017'ish date. I had the phone paired but then realized because it was running android, I could just natively install all the apps I needed and just tether off my phone to leverage the bigger screen and be able to run multiple apps.

Trying to attach a screen showing the version as well as the bluetooth stuck in the initialising state.

I think I found other references to bluetooth stuck in this initialising state (can't remember if on this thread or from a google search) with no resolution/response.

Does the app updates allow you to downgrade as well? Was wondering if I could do a downgrade back to the earlier version, pair my phone, then upgrade back. But that won't help if the newer version does not get past init. I assume bluetooth is working for most on the latest app version?

Check if the bluetooth is set on V6 or something similar. This can be found in the factory settings, security code should be 2018.

Any help?

you can try one of these on the wackys google disk, both containing <UI>7</ UI> line: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...buQ2v-OB2cYFgE .The file must always be in the OEM directory.

How did you manage to copy it in the oem directory? It needs root?

I just deleted those files using the file manager which was preinstalled.

Didn't even know there were BT settings under factory settings. Thanks for pointing this out. My settings were previously set on WenqiangBC6. At this point I've tried it on all 3 but BT still does not complete past init.

Can someone confirm the ability to downgrade the app version to an older version just by doing the usual update but with the img file of the older version? I may try downgrading to see if I can figure out at which version BT broke.

Help !!!
New here, although in the shade. I have read everything you could.
To the subject
Yesterday I received the screen I asked for.
Today when it came to riding, I had two problems
The screen on the BMW side says "no signal". You hear everything, the radio, the navigation, the hard disk etc, but the screen is not activated.
On the Android side you can not hear it in any application and what you have selected in the BMW part still sounds.

I was myself positively surprised that I was able to communicate with Carplay simply saying "Hey Siri" when phone is connected with cable to the device and also bt connection to the BMW original bluetooth. However, I am getting a bit lost that I can talk to Siri and ask for example navigation guidance, but when trying to make phone call, it is just dead silent (unless I select from phone that the speaker is car bluetooth).

Is it working fine with phone calls with rest of us?

Regarding "no signal", I would guess the screen resolution is not matching between car and Android. I think I managed to get this when coding car and setting it on BMW side to 10 inch screen (my original display was 6.5" and got it working best when coded BMW to have 8" screen). If this is not the case, then perhaps the cables are not connected properly (this would also explain sound issues).

However as you seem to be able to get to Android side, perhaps you should start by checking from factory settings and try an another display size?

Actually I don't have this issue, Siri works perfectly also to make calls..
The only thing that bothers me is that when i RECEIVE calls it switches back to the OEM system.. Does it happen also to you?
