Checked all wiring

checked jumper switches.
the buttons work fine operating the orginal idrive system

SDK: 25.0.0.5.6.0.0.0
CUST: v2.1.0.5.1.gpe.c
MCU: 20.5.18.17

It doesn't :/

Got it. At least now we know that it is possible to flash a modded bin.

Volume and back/forward on the steering wheel don't work on my AA CIC either.

How did you get the missing partitions to create the IPBOOOT.BIN?

I am trying to recreate the bin with the correct isp script.

I suppose you are talking about xboot and uboot?
Took them from the original .bin.

You have to look for start and end of each partition and extract them with dd.

//Edit: Only xboot.
Uboot2 comes from the extract function and is identical with uboot0 and uboot1, so just make copies.
xboot1 and xboot2 are also identical, so just extract that with dd from the original .bin and you should be fine.

Just installed my box, so far everything is working well. But I still have to test phone calls.

Does anybody know if the sequence of the apps in CarPlay can be changed?

Yes you can change them on your phone, in the carplay settings.

1. Music skip from the iDrive controller as we used to have

3. Ability to route phone calls via BMW and everything else through Carplay

I would be a happy beemer with those things

I want that too !!!
Only WAZE has his own app volume setting...
Also WhatsApp and telegram need separate volume
Controls 🤷🏻*♂️

Just updated to latest system and mcu for Carlinkit. All of a sudden, Waze is over-modulating/clipping in volume. I don't see any settings other than main volume, and Volume assist on the Carlinkit settings/audio/, and in Waze app on my iPhone- I turned the volume to 19% in the Waze settings. That did nothing to the scortching volume when listening to music, for example from Spotify. Anyone else notice this since updating? Anyone find a solution to this?

I've been fiddling with binwalk with the hope of eventually disabling bluetooth on my Carlinkit unit. I'm far from being even close to doing this (still learning), but I am able to dd the partitions so let me know if you need help.

Thanks. The wheel works on the steering wheel

As for voice calls:
I think the issue is there is a conflict between the carplay box and the car's bluetooth. Do you or anyone know the best way to set this up for voice calls? I sometimes listen to the radio so completely removing my phone won't work.

Also, is there a way to increase the volume with google maps independent of the rest of the audio? I'm using the carlinkit

Thanks

Yes! On your iphone go to settings > general > carplay > select it and you can move / delete apps

1. In the settings of audio you have two volume settings. One if for general and the other is for voice over like navigation. Also, in google maps click on the cog-wheel for setting and you can test the volume you set in carlink settings. It's back and forth process but you only have to set it once.

you dont need your phone connected to bmw bt to listen to the radio. if you want to toggle between the two you can do that or click mode while in carplay to switch from aux to fm if its just the one station you listen to

Do you know what they are called in the audio settings on andream?

Id like to turn call volume and nav up a bit

Does anyone have full screen reverse camera working? For me, the parking lines go full screen but the image does not. It also doesn't show parking sensors full screen. All works ok on the smaller screen (although camera 'jults' once or twice in use)

[jasp90]

Rear camera could have a more OEM look and line width adjustment

Sorry, I mean what if I get a call while listening to the radio?
Would it open carplay automatically so I can answer the call?

Thanks

Have you tried restarting the box after setting full screen? That fixed the first issue for me, couldn't get pdc to work in full screen though

Yes and it could show the correct car in the pdc, my started showing a z4 convertible after the recent updates 🙄

I got them. Only problem I see with the newly created ISPBOOOT.BIN is the scripts are different. I will try to inject the scripts from the original .bin

Awesome, but it will likely invalidate the md5's. Did you remove those checks from the scripts?

[Firefly1337]

I have good and bad news.
Good news first: I heavily modified the isp.c script and am successfully able to flash customized .bin files. Even the ones where I changed the squashfs partition to have 720p Android Auto.

The bad news: Since I wiped off my device key, I can't use it anymore :/
Only Settings and Camera are working. The WirelessDev, AA, Carplay etc menus are not responsive.

Shit
