Disabled the Equaliser app completely, kill it with fire and never touch again. Go to KSW Settings > Volume and adjust your sliders. Go to KSW Settings Factory Settings > Function > Amplifier Selection and select appropriate option. Finally go to Android settings > Sound and vibrations and adjust your sliders there as well. If all of that doesn't work for you then you messed up installation side and something is not connected correctly / securely.

I was thinking of connecting a Bluetooth / aux receiver to the Android unit in order to have the audio on the Bluetooth and thus transfer it to the aux. But it doesn't connect. Why does Bluetooth connect only with the smartphone?

Because it's intentionally locked by Chinese to mimic car's infortainment experience.

Has anybody tried changing the wire that powers the unit to the accessory 12V? I've just installed Xposed and it kills me waiting for it to power up. Thus instead of using ignition on, we use ACC on for power and at least it buys us a few seconds once the door is unlocked/open. Not sure if it will interfere with the sleep mode or whatever it has though.

P.S. I didn't forget about you. I will try to implement BroadcastReciver to make my keyboard work with your unit, I've been just super busy lately. |

No worries and no rush. I appreciate all you do for the community! I really want to mod my system apk but cannot figure out how to use Dexpatcher on Androis 8.1 and Xposed is the only way I know how to. Problem is Xposed delays boot by a bit... It's interesting what you state about the wake up functions. I wasn't aware it was based on CAN! (Samurai lmao). It's so interesting, because if I unlock the car and turn it on within 5-ish seconds, it boots up right away to the home screen (1-2 seconds delay?). If I take longer to turn on the car, it usually does a cold boot and it takes 20-ish seconds. |

I said earlier I cannot help you with Dexpatcher, this is not my forte. As for the CAN, yes all is driven by CAN messages on these units. Well by all I mean not a lot as there is not a lot to start with but things like power state, video input switching, selected buttons and some additional info like lights, doors, rpm, speed etc. are CAN dependent. If you detach CAN cables from Android harness, it will boot up as soon as it gets 12V, but as I said, all modern BMWs have permanent 12V at the quadlock so this is not ideal solution. |

I had to roll back to the no-Xposed system version because of the delayed boot. I just could not take it anymore lol. Dexpatcher is not an option, since I cannot figure it out either, so what I'm going to do is try and attempt to patch things through smali. It's been a while, but I should be able to "noop" (block out/replace) specific functions/methods. In regards to the iDrive keyboard. I have figured out something that kind of works, so you don't necessarily need to change anything. I was able to create a profile on Tasker that does a few things:
Link to the tasker profile is shown below and also attached to this post. If you use the one in this post, make sure to change the extension of the file from .txt to .xml (I couldn't upload it otherwise). Profile Tasker |

As for the keyboard I still want to implement BroadcastRecevier so the keyboard reacts to your controller natively without any delay. This also ensure that the app is user friendly and it only require one toggle in setting to enable that for anyone using similar unit to yours. You don't have to necessarily use Autoinput plugin to know what's going on with my keyboard. I've implemented Broadcast service that any app can pick up to find out what's going on: There are for states: `rotary keyboard` - keyboard open in rotary mode `touch keyboard` - keyboard open in touch mode `hidden` - keyboard closed (hidden) `destroyed` - keyboard service stopped app needs to be relaunched Package name is `com.rederik.idrivekeyboard` Intent `com.rederik.idrivekeyboard.KEYBOARD_STATE_CHANGE` I will try to work on update this weekend to implement support for your unit. |

So I have made some progress smali editing the EventCenter app. I was able to start removing functions that were not really that useful... I have been able to completely disable the taskkiller... what a difference! From having to reopen (non-running) apps every few minutes, to now having all of them in the cache ready to be fired when switched to!
I have also been able to disable the function that triggers when the steering wheel Mode button is selected. It used to drive me insane that it would switch to DVR, video, music, gps, etc when I pushed it by mistake. Now it does not! I have not thought of something I can use it for yet, but I'm sure something will come to mind soon. Finally, the last function I was patching was for the auto diming feature when the car headlights turn on. I patched one function but it was not the right one I guess... Will investigate more soon. I know a lot of this stuff was already fixed in other versions of Android, but for those of us that are still stuck on Android 8.1 and have access to root & lucky patcher, this is amazing. |

The problem that I'm facing is with the Waze app, where it freezes randomly during a trip, it loses the gps signal, then it finally closes. This might happen at any given time, there's no symptom that might trigger it, and everything else works normally, all apps functioning as usual. If I use Google Maps, i never have this issue, so it's not a gps issue. I already tried to clear cache, storage, reinstall waze, reset the HU to factory seelttings, but nothing works. I suspect it is a issue with the mcu or the android firmware, but I need a new version, so I can test this theory. Anyone else faced a similar issue before? If so, any tips? Thanks! |

Any issues with time and trip computer are caused by lack of communication with the cluster. You will also find that the CBS menu is not working anymore. Most likely you didn't shift the MOST line from OEM quadlock to Chinese extension quadlock.

Hi folks,
Snapdragon unit running pretty solid on Android 9 except sometimes when I boot up it takes me to the useless telephone Bluetooth screen? I have upto date with firmware and use a reliable CarPlay dongle but I’ve tried disconnecting it and every other variation I can think of including changing ID interfaces and the boot options but sometimes it will just boot into Android Bluetooth menu regardless, anybody else experienced? It just means I have to press buttons to multitask into a useful screen either CarPlay or Android music and it happens maybe 1 in 10 times but it might not happen for a while then all of a sudden twice in a row… |
