You also selected a large monitor on the Android side in the car menu?

Hi! Thanks a lot for your help. I managed to access the factory settings. Another problem that I am facing is that when I am connected to the Bluetooth of the android HU, if I make a phone call when radio is playing then the music is not stoping and I am hearing the tone of the call on top of the music. Do you know which setting can solve this problem?

I've played with every setting. Either it's stretched full screen or looks normal but I have the car info on OEM side.

I came from a 6.5 ID6 Entry with no Nav before.

Hello Guys,

I have also the unit and got some problems i'm facing.

I want to use usb 3G 4G dongle or built in LTE option for internet use.

When i use the USB dongle it works but when i turn of the car the dongle is powered off also. When i enter my car again and turn on the system it does not come up with the connection so i need to pull out the usb dongle and put it in back again to get it connected witht he android system. This is not the way i want it.

there for i wanted to use the built in LTE option.

When i put in the microsimcard in the slot where it needs to be in the system does not give any signal of network or there is a sim card in it. When i go in settings and check the mobile network settings its greyed out so i'm not able to change or adjust anything.

Does some one get it to work? Is my sim card provider not compatible thats why the network settings greyed out?

Here some images of my system:





I hope some one has got this to work and can help me out.

Thanks in advange!

Kind regards,

Marlon

That's normal, the original CID from CIC is on CAN-BUS. The diagnostic can't found the OEM screen.

If i turn arround the unit i see PX6 indeed. Do you know wich factory it is from? i dont know what px6 means really. I have found also that the PX6 is without LTE so they sold me some old device.

It's not a problem to use the usb 4G dongle but the problem i got like told above is annoying.

"When i use the USB dongle it works but when i turn of the car the dongle is powered off also. When i enter my car again and turn on the system it does not come up with the connection so i need to pull out the usb dongle and put it in back again to get it connected witht he android system. This is not the way i want it."

Is there a way to fix this issue or something i can try out?

Don't use the usb 4G dongle on the usb connector from the android device. Use the dongle with adapter on the cigarette lighter.
You can also use a 12V to USB converter on the power supply of the car. Use connector 30b this has power after unlocking the vehicle. So is your dongle ready before the android has started.

Quick question, Is there any bigger difference between Avinusa versus aliexpress (navifly, andream)? If so, which do you guys recommend? It's for bmw f32.

Is this an operation that involves soldering in a better antenna or is there an actual plug? If I've got to solder I think I'll skip the hassle and keep using my phone's hotspot...

There is a plug, like for wireless cards in laptops - I think is called IPX . You will see the cable connected on the motherboard in split box. But opening the box might void the warranty.

Not significant difference with Navifly . Sometimes Avinusa implements some software of their own - I mean apps, not whole ROM.
Andream is different construction with split box and different MCU , but they don't like to give updates for MCU . Also because of construction and antenna positioning, the wifi and 4G signal are rather weak. Check above post about antenna.

Avin's unit is on sale so the price seems to be better than the ones from Aliexpress. The trouble I have with Aliexpress is that there are simply too many options.

You should choose the vendor which provides better support. Or you can rely on support found here and choose the best price or less buggy. Units are pretty much the same, so android software side is same . Only MCU differs.

For those who want to use the same GPS antenna that the car brings, this is much better.

The sim card in my unit had to go in as shown in this video,


Very weird way for the sim card to go in, but it works.
