Does anyone have an issue with the Android Sides sounds settings going back to 0? I was stuggling with the audio thinking its the Aux port that I connected but discovered that the Android System settings showed a volume of 0?
Also has anyone got a soft hissing noise when you crank the audio up and play no music or such? Im wondering if this is the quality of the connector? Lastly what is your fav bluetooth configuration? I keep mine connected to the actual BMW side as I find the interface for handling calls better than the Android side and then have my phone plugged in via cable for HeadUnit Reloaded. |

( I could be completely wrong ) but I wouldnt think it matters when using Carplay specifically.

interesting behavior i got a few minutes Back. Started my Car and it booted into idrive (didnt used the Car the last 2 days, so i dont remember if IT was the last i used.)
Tried opening Android. Taping Screen didnt work, so Holding Mode it is. Top my suprise i got the no Signal error. Since i am at a appointment, i cant check If waiting for a shutdown fixes it. For the worst case, any ideas what i could Check or do If the problem still exists? |

does anybody understand how the bluetooth works?
in the system settings im using the android bt, not the bmw bt interface. my phone is connected to the android bt. when i get called i get a notification and the call is handled through the android system. my voice is transmitted crystal clear, my voice is 100% not transmitted through my phone microphone (tested with phone in the trunk). somehow the android unit must be able to use the bmw microphone which is also used in the bmw bt. if i try to use google assist, the voice is not picked up at all, i have no microphone connected to the android unit. is there any way to force the android unit to use the bmw mic for this? there should be a way if it can use the mic for bt calls. |

Thanks, Shrazy and rpc180 , but no luck, and Avin support has now told me that they can't help me until i can prove that my factory equipment works (which I'm pretty sure it doesn't, anymore, though it certainly worked when i started). At this point, OEM equipment just shows me the BMW logo for a couple minutes, goes dark, then shows the logo again. I think the iDrive unit it shot ... yay. I'm going to try and return this unit, pay the restocking fee, and cut my losses, though it bums me out, and i've spent about 20 hours working on this.

For those of you who find Android build in microphone, lets say "below standard", I might have a solution. You will be able to use your BMW mic for both original iDrive and Android unit. It involves opening android unit, splicing to cables on android quadlock extension and you need to know how to use a soldering iron:
1. You have to locate connector X13814 on the quadlock (this does apply to CCC E60 and E63, not sure about newer models, you have to check with TIS). Pin 1 is mic+ and pin 6 is mic-. 2. Splice some extension cables long enough to reach Android unit. 3. Open up Android unit, locate microphone and its soldering pads. 4. Desolder mic and solder in your extension leads from X13814 accordingly. 5. Put everything back. 6. Enjoy. Haven't done it myself as I'm still waiting for my unit to arrive, but I think BMW microphone is much better than what comes with these units. Some picture for reference. EDIT: Actually check these pins with TIS for your car anyway, as I can't guarantee this will apply to anything else than E63 CCC. Last edited by RedErik; 10-25-2019 at 06:22 AM.. |

Oh well... as I said, still waiting for my unit to arrive so I'm not fully aware what actually comes with them. However, if these do have an external mic input you can still follow steps 1 and 2 and wire that in.

i then wrote my Vendor, the answer was kind of "funny", they said external microphones are not supported Maybe the mic connector does only work with the Bluetooth phone app ? Chri |
