Anyone having issues with the Unichip box and the iPhone XS Max? Since I got my iPhone XS Max its constantly disconnecting or really laggy to connect (renders around 1fps if I'm lucky or hangs on a black screen) after around 10-20 minutes it starts to work fine and I won't have any issue but can't work out why it does this, it was always fine on my iPhone 7 Plus. Will try a phone factory reset if I'm the only person getting this.

Keep in mind, its basically high data streaming thats happening, as the phone does all the work your head unit is just displaying graphics (essentially). |

I've chatted today with unique-ad and they told me that they have it ready and will put it on sale later this week or early next week!
(they said it will support my car, bmw f30 2015 with nbt 6.5 inch, so It should support 3/4 series with nbt) |

Has anyone got a reverse camera connected to their Unichip box, if so can they post a picture? My guidelines a really skinny and in the middle of the screen (will post a pic) wondered if that's normal or a way to fix it...

Don't get your hopes up, you'll get a different answer depending on who you talk to. I talked to them back in October and was told it would be ready by November. When I checked back in November I was told they have no idea when it will be released. I just chatted with them online now and was once again told the product is not available and they have no indication of when it would be released.

Can you link the wireless Audi carplay? I don't see it.

GANG:
I recently purchased & installed a Unichip box into my 2013 X5. I COULD NOT BE MORE HAPPY. It is like an OEM install I love it. Comments: 1. Turn down the volume on your aux output thats controlled in idrive. Drop it 2 clicks below mid point. This ensures the audio that comes out is not overdriven (you want the signal low-ish so the amp is boosting quality audio & this does that). 2. MAKE SURE you have a quality MFI certified cable to connect your phone. If you do all is well, if you dont it will drop & fail (true w/ all carplay head units) 3. The included microphone is great. Ran it to behind my rearview mirror, cant see it at all. WORKS GREAT. 4. I chose to drop the BT connection of my phone to my BMW now that I have this. If you dont do that, you have to turn off BT when in carplay mode. You cannot have BT & the AUX in going at the same time and not crash on phone calls. But there is no reason for a BT connection if you have carplay & the cable. All calls, music, etc all happen over the cable. No loss in functionality. 5. I love Carplay with the jog dial! Thought Id want touch screen but I dont. I love this as is & like using the idrive to navigate about safely. Super great. I love having simple SIRI voice control for phone calls, texts, navigation & music. SO SO Great. |

Where did you buy yours? Did you install it yourself? Coding? I currently have the small screen and would like to buy this and the big screen - kind of one of the worst parts of my car

I bought it straight from Unichip. They have a chat rep (it shows one face/name but Im sure its like 5 people). I had a pro install it cause he is my friend. But it was "easy". Its an inline install, no cutting of wires. NO CODING, though there are toggles on the back of the box that UNichip presets for you to fit your specific screen. The result is a carplay display that fills you entire screen. Really slick. I did NOT change my screen & I love controlling it with the OEM idrive system. Had a 2 hour drive in the rain today & was super psyched. I wish SIRI would control more than just the apple apps but thats an apple thing. If you get it, remember that you MUST turn down the Aux volume setting 2 notches to get near perfect audio. Otherwise the line feed is overdriven a bit. |

How your friend ran the Mic. Is it in the driver or passenger side?

Interested
Can you send me a PM as well with the cost and any updates on how this is working for u. I have a 2014 328xi and I have been researching ways to get CarPlay for months. I watched a few videos online but wasn’t entirely sure I understood the process
