Hi, I bought the Android 7.1 for a BMW E60. I have a problem. When the device is cold, after the night, the device does not start correctly. The screen is black and there are white stripes. I must turn off the radio and turn it on several times. After a few turns on the ignition/radio the CCC Android works ok.

Anybody knows what's going on?

Any chance to get the new ID7 look on the 7.1 System?

Is it only a Firmware update or isn't it possible to get the ID7 on the 7.1 System?

It is a launcher mode so there should be a software update. If someone release it !

It happened to me also on a longer trip with waze (the main reason i got the unit ), I din`t check to see if it was heated but if is heating now in winter imagine in the summer...

Since that trip i had shorter journeys and it din`t blacksceen on me any more .I changed the position of the antenna near the top of windshield in the tinted area (i took out the antenna from the housing , is much smaller without housing and oriented the ceramic part towards the sky) and routed the cable on the right pillar( the gps signal is more stable it doesn't jump around allover the map ) .I stopped using google maps ( very slow) and waze ( auto shuts down ) . I`m using here maps but i miss police nad radar reporting on waze .

Could you please take a picture of the gps antenna in this position? Currently I have the antenna in the A-pillar trim, was the only place where I got good gps reception, but it still jumps around sometime

On my radio the same thing has been happening for a few days. Now it's practically every time after 10 minutes or when I turn on some applications. I tried different versions of android and nothing changes it. Does anyone know why this has happened?

I think that's caused by the iDrive not sending a signal.
Is it the same on the Android side as well?

Please check all connection to the screen, this behavior always happens if connection between LCD Screen and mainboard is not OK.

This is impossible because the ccc system works when you switch the menu button. When I switch back to android it does not work.

It only applies to android. There is no such thing on the ccc system.

Here is a picture, unfortunately the cable is not long enough to be routed in the glove box to be hidden and i also couldn't remove the right pillar (the cap that is covering the screw is too fixed i dint want to insert something sharp) i just forced the cable more or less under the pillar .For me is kind of a temporary fix , i need to buy a fakra splitter to get the signal from the car antenna , the problem is that my unit that has external box has SMA connector for GPS so i have to buy a fakra splitter + a fakra to SMA addapter ( i think for me there should be no problem with splitter being a CIC , i herd people having problems with splitters with NBT , someone correct me if i`m wrong ) ...the antenna without housing looks like bellow .

Don't use a splitter. System causes the no signal issue since the voltages aren't the same...

Hi Druw, GPS splitter works fine on my Android 7.1 and CIC units. I split from the standard BMW GPS cable not from the supplied GPS antenna. Never had any issues with it from day one. Might be different with NTB?

I have both GPS antennas connected. The original one is connected to the original radio, in the sense where there is room for a CD, and an additional antenna is connected to the android screen. Could this be a problem with "no signal" on android?

Many thanks! I'm trying to find a qood position for the antenna, but it has to be completely hidden. Maybe in the mirror trim?

I put mine under the head lining above the rear view mirror, easy to remove again if needed and no problems picking up a signal.

This is on an F30.

Interesting, but I don't see how the antenna can fit there. Have you removed the casing? If you have any images from the assembly, it will be very helpful.

The head lining will give enough to allow the GPS antenna to slide in.

Does anyone have a link to download the "FM radio" application like it is shown in this video at 1:00 on the right side of the screen? Link to the movie

Yes, and my aux volume is set to max. I will test lower volume. Thanks for the info.

Ok, this is weird...
Today Waze keeps crashing at startup and also all apps are directly killed when closed.
The multi screen button on top doesn't show anything.

And

GM suddenly works??????

I am going to upload the latest firmware to see if that fixes it but this is very strange all of a sudden....
