I use TomTom as Map app, so I added the name of the App to this list and I got the result I mentioned.

Very nice, i wanted that.
I also use tomtom. Will test it soon.
thanks

But I have the older px3 version, with android 7.1...

However I tried the shell commands but doesn't work..
If I try with this code:

am broadcast -a com.android.quicksetting.BROADCAST --es msg "backlight"

I get security exception: permission denial, so I tried to run this:

su am broadcast -a com.android.quicksetting.BROADCAST --es msg "backlight"

Now it asked me root permission and i granted, but the shell say to me this:

tmp-mksh: broadcast: not found

The BMW iDrive part works perfectly when I switch and even the Android side works because I can hear the music, change it, I hear Waze instructions. If I turn off and on the ignition it works again. Any idea how to fix this? Any way to reboot the system without turning off the ignition switch?

I have the same.
In my case it seems like a heat issue, now the temperatures are rising i can barely use it for 5-10 minutes. If i left the car parked outside in the sun screen does this after a few seconds of turning on.

Either execute su first or do su -c am broadcast -a com.android.quicksetting.BROADCAST --es msg "backlight"

Thanks!

Good morning, someone who can help me with the mcuupdate.bin file of JLY for NBT ??

I'd like to have it as well to patch the auto dimming ;-) Maybe somebody who owns one can ask the seller for an update.

[RuLzgzF30]

The seller is RUISO, I've written to them, but I do not know who the manufacturer JLY is so I can not write directly to them. @_FRED_ What I have seen that JLY CIC already made the modification, in fact to try to update my unit I put that firmware and that is when I changed the system ...

Hi all,

A little update for those who, like me, would try to upgrade their original screen "flap screen" to an Android screen on a bmw, and then discover that they cannot use the idrive on the original BMW menu :

https://github.com/ulysse31/CID_Faker


You'll find there the necessary little code and the schematics to build a little arduino device that will simulate the CID presence on the car CAN bus network.
Sorry @__fred__ , I really do not have the skill for now to decompile that pascal compiled mcu firmware, so I built this "workaround", which is more in my skills ^^'
The code is quite simple : it is short (less than 100 lines) and the algorithm is basic : it simply loops on a timed event table that sends the messages according the value asked ...
What took me time was getting some material (ferric chloride, double sided pcb, laser printer, etc ...) that I was "out of stock" to build a tiny pcb for less space usage inside the car ^^'
If someone wants to integrate that code to a CCC MCU firmware, feel free ^^ just tell me I would be happy to test and try


Cheers all,

Would there be possibility to install an entire MCU for GS NBT for example? since I see that they take more updates than JLY and also solve my problem ...

How'd you get on with this? Would love to know how difficult it is to signal intents? Must say I'm waiting for the man of the hour @_fred_ to configure his EventCenter.apk before going anywhere near this!

I confirmed it in the worst way.

When I moved the slider all way to the left (0 value), the screen got totally black and it was to late to alter the position.

Restarting doesn't solve and even the original car is totaly black (although the sound for example works fine).

I though restarting the unit with a pen with a OEM directory and factory.xml in but I don’t see there any tag that establishes the brightness.
Probably inside the internal memory there is a fatory.xml with this setting.

Does anyone knows what is the name of this tag or has any ideias about how to solve this?

In last instance I will reinstall the px6 file but I didn’t want to do it as I had to reinstall all the software again.

Any help will be appreciated.

[RuLzgzF30]

Something similar happened to me and I reestablished it by intuition until I moved the brightness bar ...

If you have enabled developer options in the android part, you could try sending the Intent when connected with adb through an USB cable. But you must have enabled USB debugging and developer options earlier.

Best option would be to try and press the button in the notification area. Don't know if it's the same in the Android 8 firmware, but sliding down from the top of the screen will open the notification area. Then one of the buttons is the brightness toggle.

I will take a picture of this screen when I'm in the car, so you can use it as reference.

I've patched eventcenter. I will test it in the next few days and write a tutorial for tasker or lumen to connect it to sunset and sunrise.

I'm sorry to hear that and I think it's stupid that the designers make it possible to cross flash those units to CCC, CIC, NBT. I've added a warning to the MCU repository and a reference to the wiki.

I'd like to give it a try ;-)

I've got a question though. On which bus do I write the packets? On the bus that is connected to the car? Or on the bus to the original radio? Where do these signals need to turn up. And could you post your firmware image or firmware string. If I don't have a firmware for your unit, there is no chance that I can patch it right now.

The truth is that due to ignorance I thought it could be done, but if you have an NBT system and a CIC or CCC is installed, the OEM part stops working ...

Now I'm like crazy trying to get that file or know who is the manufacturer of JLY to write to them.

Hello !

Well I would suppose that only the CCC controller would need those packets, so at least in a first time, I would send it to the "original radio" (which, in my case, is a GPS business CCC controller) at least for on a first time, if it does not work as it should, on both.
For the firmware, I think I've already sent you one, but I can still send it to you again (not at home right now, so will send again later on).

Thanks a lot for your work ^^

Cheers,

How can the MCU file be copy from the screen? what is the location of the .bin files?

Yes, I also tried "in the dark" but with no success.
I'm going to reinstall.

Thanks. I'm to get to that slidder control you mention, as I got about 30 seconds before the unit goes dark, but it doesn't change brightness, I think it's only on the camera section of system settings.

By the way, I just got a new update for PX6 ID7 Android 8.1 from AVIN, so I'll have to reinstall everything and I'll be carefull not to do this error again.
