I got reply from Unichip and they say the unit will work in my car. And regarding combox they say: "Compared with other BMW without COMBOX,you just need to install one AUX cable to connect to your armrest box AUX socket when install carplay box."

Hi Guys
Bought one from Uni chip tried to install this morning, but didn't work, I have a f80 M3 with H/K sound, as soon as I plug in the box I loose volume on all services, also the screen just stays blank when pressing 8. I proceeded to change the dip switches also didnt work, Trying to get Uni chip to support but on a Saturday I am not hopeful Any ideas? Thanks Andrew |

1) Make sure everything is plugged in and installed. 2) Change the dip switches to all HHHHH position. 3) Plug in your iPhone and press 8 button for the carplay shortcut. 4) It probably won't work and will only show black screen. 5) Try 4 different combinations for the dip switch one by one. Leave your iPhone plugged in the whole time. Press the reset button every time after changing your dip switch combo. Try out all combos until you find the working set. 6) After finding the working set, place all the dip switch back to HHHHH position. I hope this helps. |

this will work if you have preseted the aux front audio source to button nr "8"! as mentioned above, it has to be nr"8" if you press long on nr7 you can open a menu wich will let you select backup cam, it will work if you connect a backup cam to the yellow RCA cable! (according to Unichip lead engineer) Good luck! feel free to ask if you have more questions!

The black red and white cables in the middle here are the ones you need to splice into!
NOTE that there is a red white and black cable at the sides of the connector as well, ignore these!

***NOTE FOR OTHER BUYERS: BTW Unichip charged me an additional shipping cost for the aux cable, which in my opinion is their fault for not asking exact detail of my vehicle in first place and just kept on saying "it will work 100%" without knowing the exact config of my vehicle. I did get a discount from them initially when I purchased the unit, but still. Something to be aware of. If you aren't sure whether you need the aux cable, I would just tell Unichip rep in first place that you have the rear combox whether you have it or not. This way you'll always end up with that extra aux cable and don't have to wait around for extra couple of weeks. It doesn't hurt to have the cable at all.

Need some advice.
I currently have the 6 inch screen and looking to upgrade. My two options are OEM 8.8 + Unichip or 10.25 android with Carplay adapter (4x4 shop.ca) I like the extra size of the 10 inch but I think their Apple car play does not give the same experience. Seems like the unichip will really use Apple Maps, while the Android still uses Google. What are your thoughts? |

Yes, i agree with you on this, they charged me aswell. plus when i experimented with plugging in the new aux cable into the connector on the main harness i broke it, they charged me extra for a new main cable with the aux cable pre installed, wich is the cable i should have gotten from the very beginning... my advice would be, dont try to push the pins out of the connector unless you know what you are doing, you are much better off splicing them into the cables that are already there!

You just plug in the RCA and connect the red 12v camera wire. Then you go in #7 and enable the camera. It has reverse guidelines that track with your wheels turning.

8.8 screen with Unichip F10 NBT retrofit with 10.25 The main option I'm interested in is Carplay, I don't really need GPS if I can use my phone, same thing for Bluetooth. The only advantage for me to go NBT is if I can get the bigger 10.25 screen |
