If you have bought the GPS splitter as I did, one end (the single end) connects to the OEM GPS plug. Then one of the splits connects to your OEM Factory unit. The other split, will connect to the Android control unit (not the screen) with the gold plug. BUT, you will need an adapter to convert the plugs as the splitter will not connect directly to the control unit. I ordered this adapter from AVIN, https://avinusa.com/factory-gps-ante...-audi-bmw.html

In your photo, I can see you have connected the third party supplied GPS Receiver. Remove that as it won't be used.

Finally I got it connected and guess what! No signal message is there.
Voltage of my gps is 5.2v
Is there any update to fix this problem...

Is there anything new with this update is it worth upgrading ?

smahel · 12-16-2018, 03:48 AM

I do not know, I have not installed the firmware yet. Try it you...

Marcin8690 · 12-17-2018, 01:06 PM

Can anyone share a link to the latest android software for the ccc to E60 / E90 version?

I don't think the MCU is updated because I have an issue when I'm trying to update it (the same one that many other users reported), but is the rest updated? Android version etc?

Hey guys, I'm on the same Version as Bosley.
Is it worth to upgrade?

E90 with CCC.

Btw.
What's the difference between OSVers and AppVer? Which should I upgrade?

I can confirm I'm getting the same behavior with the update. I'm very pleased! With iDrive control and no pesky popup, I rarely have to touch the screen.

astr0nate · 12-22-2018, 08:26 PM

So I just picked up the 7.1 version and am just now discovering the 8.1 version... Does anyone have a list of differences? Do you guys think it's worth going for the 8.1 or just install the 7.1 that I already have?

Mikesmith2939 · 12-23-2018, 08:36 AM

Does any one have a link to the latest 7.1 Avin NBT firmware for BMW F30?

I had the same issue using the GPS splitter, I removed the splitter and used the supplied GPS arial and it solved the issue.

I believe the BMW GPS and the Android GPS use different voltages.

Where are you guys finding it best to put the GPS antenna? My car didn't come with nav so I'm using the antenna that came bundled with my Avin unit and I've mounted the antenna right in the corner of the dash on the passenger side. You can't see the cable at all, just the GPS module so it isn't too bad. Seems to be picking up my location alright but I haven't tested it much yet.

Just wondering if anyone has any better suggestions as to whether it can be tucked out of the way or I'm better off just leaving it where it is.

Although I don't have AVIN specifically, we have the same antennas. I mounted my antenna in-between the bottom right corner of the center speaker and top right corner of the head unit (screen). Space is EXTREMELY tight and a sum-bitch to get to (left behind some DNA from my left hand). Before mounting, I first affixed velcro to the spot I felt was best, then fixed velcro to the antenna itself...felt if I ever needed to move, I could easily remove antenna and remount onto new velcro strip.

I tucked mine in to the head liner behind the mirror.

if you start your car very quickly (within 10? secs from the time you unlocked the car Android side will start and operate as normal

todor · 12-25-2018, 05:39 PM

Guys, I got one of those new PX6 Android 8.1 units and managed to brick it almost immediately while trying to root it.

Anyone got stock firmware for it that I can potentially flash from a USB drive?

Zheez · 12-25-2018, 06:15 PM

I finally got around to actually driving my car today to try the GPS out. With Google Maps everything seems to be ok - location seems to be accurate and everything is as I'd expect. With TomTom Go it seems to be a mess, it works for a while then seems to lose track of where I am and then it works again but it basically renders it useless.

I installed GPS Status & Toolbox to keep tabs on what was going on while driving around and it seemed to have a stable and reliable GPS signal so it seems it's TomTom's fault rather than the Avin unit's or the GPS antenna. Anyone else use TomTom Go on theirs and had any similar issues?
