I tried installing the Bimmertech CarPlay MMI plus and I seemed to have followed everything in the tutorial from kies and bimmertech's new video but for some reason. My iDrive is gone and the screen is just lines and blurriness. I can see the iDrive is in the background cause the image changes as I rummage through with the touch controller.
But if I hold 8 or menu, CarPlay pops up clearly. I have no audio or mic apparently either. Dose anybody know what I'm doing wrong? -BMW 328i xdrive 2015 with navigation |

I installed the bimmer tech CarPlay MMI plus yesterday in my 2016 F10. I’ve experienced the same GPS lag and inaccurate positioning as you all. I’ve sent an email to bimmer tech support in hopes they can help fix this. I like the interface and the sound is good through my HK stock system. If the GPS is unusable there’s no point. I’ll share my experience

Where does everybody route the USB cable for this?
Anybody try going for an OEM look instead of a cable just sticking out of some crevice? |

UnknownBeing I ended up routing a lighting cable through one of the cup holders to this mount: https://joli.design
I used this post for instructions on how to get to the cup holders: https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...&postcount=210 That being said, it turns out that location has weak GPS signal and I'm looking for a good solution (I don't think it's the MMI Plus' fault, but wish it tied in to the car's GPS antenna). |

To those having GPS issues, by any chance are you the owner of iphone 8? If so then the bimmertech mmi plus is not the issue, iphone 8 is.
I've been using the bimmertech mmi plus with my old iphone SE and it works very very well. I've swapped my iphone 8 twice and still same very poor localisation. Also reason why I did not notice that obvious issue on iphone 8 before is because I did not pay attention and with iphone being on a big screen this can't be ignored. I've now tested iphone 8 without plugging it onto the mmi and the GPS issue is there as well. |

I get an LCI trim that has the hole for USB when your car is optioned with EBT. If you dig around on RealOEM, you can find the one that matches your interior. I had to modify the plug from the MMI for it to fit but it looks OEM. Unfortunately, I haven't had the same experience with the MMI so it'll likely come out since I use it for android auto and it's not that great of an experience.

Plus Android Auto was really designed around touch interface so using the wheel to get around isn't the most intuitive.

Not sure why your sound quality is poor. Can bluetooth be used instead? |

Dark mode doesn't work regardless of phone settings. Trust me, I've tried all the dev options and workarounds. It simply doesn't work. The box also should know when the car goes into night mode as android auto can autodim based on headlight settings.
