Sorry if this has been asked but I can't find this topic anywhere:

So while installing my new headunit from avin, I noticed I didn't have the green and black optical cables. It seems like because of this I can't connect to the original idrive and don't have any sound.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

You may need to use the AUX cable in this case. My headunit does have the optical cable so I don't need to use the AUX cable.

Screen flickers when sun/heat hits the car

Hi All,
Over the past few months, my screen flickers whenever it's hot outside/inside the car. In the morning/night, it works perfectly fine. However, during the daytime when it's warm 70F and above then the screen flickers. Any idea on how to fix this or this is this basically end of life of the screen. I originally bought it in 2016. Thanks.

Hello .. Does anyone has their set reboot by itself, using it less than 5mins or running?
I am hvg MTK version/ Android 10, and noticed the set will self reboot continuously. However it happened under hot weather conditions, ard 38deg C .. After the car has cooled down, it can run back to original condition.
During the loop mode, i can return back to original IDRIVE with no problem while reverse-camera also no issue (Original car doesnt have).
The only thing i changed was setting the air-vent timer to activate itself and the 1st occurence of reboot happens exactly the same time as timer. Not sure it is related or not.

Carplay As Default Navigation App ???????

I installed the Avin unit in my 2010 e61 and it works pretty well.

I remember seeing a video that showed how to launch CarPlay when selecting one of the main red tiles (nav, apps, settings etc). I want to launch Carplay when I select the Navigation tile.

Does anyone know where I can find this?

Thanks again

Not sure if this was discussed but my Avin does a full shutdown (by design), is there a way for it to go to sleep so it doesn't boot each time? The boot time is a few seconds but what I want the most is remember what I used last.

I had such a Touchpad once, not worth the money, it does not support multitouch / finger gestures.

Its also not produced anymore, i asked the company some years ago, you would need to buy a couple hundreds of them so they would do a new production batch.

Thanks for the input.

I actually found a forum member selling his used one but I don't think it will work with the aftermarket iDrive knob. I took one of mine apart and it didn't have any ribbon cables inside.

I plugged a mouse into my AVIN unit and it worked flawlessly like a regular PC. So, what I ended up doing is searching a couple hours for an appropriate touchpad to install in place of the useless aftermarket iDrive knob included with the AVIN.

Here is what I purchased: https://www.adafruit.com/product/5061
The dimensions are exactly what I need to be able to fit this into the OEM cupholder of my E83, though I'll definitely need a Dremel to modify it. Fingers crossed!

Hey all, bumping an old thread, I just bought and installed an old but new in box 10.25” 8.1 unit and is quite happy with it.
My question is how do I find out if I have the version I can put a data sim in? I do have the door on the left hand back side.

Hi,
I was planning to purchase a new AVIN unit per the link below, which is an Android 12, but the processor is not specified.

https://avinusa.com/12-30-multimedia...2-f83-f84.html

Does anyone know what processor it uses?

Also I plan to use the KSW-ToolKit, https://github.com/Snaggly/KSW-ToolKit, with this unit. My purpose is to program an Idrive button to switch on the front aftermarket camera for parking. Has anyone tried this before, or know if there are any issues?

Hi Sunny. I also have the Cyrus Soundkey.
I noticed that not all audio is routed through the DAC though.
e.g. phone calls and AV-IN/DTV audio still goes out as analogue via the harness (also available via the harness Audio-Out 3.5mm socket).

Are you experiencing the same issue?

If anyone else has this problem with their own DAC, let me know.
If someone has managed to overcome this problem, let me know.
Your response is of great value to me.
