I use CarPlay so wouldn't see the advantage from the Android updates. |

Judging from the version number I would've said a newer version for Andream CIC A-Version. But I saw someone else with that version number before and they said it was asking for a GEMINI_PACK.BIN which would indicate a B-Version. So far I haven't seen an update for your type of device. ----------------- Also here's a sneak peek of what we are currently working on: Last edited by Firefly1337; 01-23-2021 at 10:00 AM.. |

Interesting, seems that you have a different firmware version "B2_V1.1.2" than the ones that we have here. to have audio with your box you don't need to use a AUX cable, what you need to do is to activate in idrive multimedia menu the AUX connection. |

Android Auto wireless pairing: Enable WiFi on your smartphone. Next go to Bluetooth settings and switch Bluetooth OFF and back ON. On MMI Prime go to Settings-> Wireless Devices-> Wireless CarPlay Pairing and click Start Search. Wait until your phone appears on the list and the search process ends. Click on your phone name and accept all of the pop-ups that will appear on your smartphone screen. Within around a minute your smartphone should connect to Android Auto wirelessly. If after around a minute Android Auto does not connect, go to Settings-> Wireless Devices-> Paired Devices on your MMI Prime, select your phone and click to connect. For Android phones you should also connect your smartphone to the factory BMW Bluetooth system. |

Colors on F10 NBT
Hi,
I installed my unit today on my F10 with NBT (2014 M5). Everything works great but my only complaint is colors do seem a bit washed out. I played around with display settings and got it to improve slightly but it could be better. My unit came with b2_v1.1.2 pre-installed. Anyone on experiencing this? Curious if a different firmware or display settings can help improve. Thanks! |

I have noticed variations in the quality of the color and graphics among the various sw versions that I have flashed. You may want to see if the seller has an update. |

I am also asked for the Gmini file for update. Unfortunately, I don't get an update file for the interface from the seller. So it looks like I can't use modified firmware from the first page ?! Sorry for my bad english. I write in German and then translate into English with Google. |

Roadtop reverse camera connection cause minor issues
I just installed my rear camera for my F30 to my Roadtop MMI. I know this discussion is for the Andream unit but they are basically the same unit. Below is how I connected the camera.
Everything works fine except the reverse light will stay on for a while (although dimmer than usual). But occasionally when I open my trunk even when engine is off, the reverse light where I tapped the 12V from has a dim lit also for a short while. This quite annoying. Secondly when ever I start my car or press the start button to on, the car will register a reverse light failure. But all's well when I start moving reversing or going forward. I suspect the red wire that comes with the video cable that I connected one end to the Roadtop reverse cam 12V out and the other to the reverse light 12V is causing this issue. I am not sure if this is how I should connect it but by not connecting both ends, the camera will work for a short while and off itself. While connecting just one end to either the 12V reverse light or the Roadtop Reverse cam 12V out will also cause the camera to turn on for a short while before switching off. No idea what is causing the issue. Will write to Roadtop to seek their advice but was wondering if anyone here came across similar issue and how did you resolve this. Thanks. |

I simply used the reverse wire from the rca cable and tapped into the 12v wire coming from the mmi for power. I didn't bother using the ground wire & no need tap into any other wires. I got an andream, but this setup has been working perfectly for 2 months now. Good luck! |

I'm not sure if this is possible given possible limitations with wireless CarPlay standards but is there any way to develop a software option to deliver all CarPlay audio (all apps and audio tracks) via Bluetooth while at the same time separating the video.
This would allow those with HK or high end sound to maintain all digital wireless audio but still benefit from the CarPlay GUI. The AUX is not terrible but is massively out-shadowed by a true digital connection IMO. My solution for CIC Android B unit so far: https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=27153133 Thanks guys! Amazing information and work! |

I have the Joyeauto, just recently purchased and installed.
I seem to be getting BMW Drivetrain malfunction error (I am getting the ODB reader and bimmerlink app to read codes but not here yet). Is it common to get fault codes when using Joyeauto and is there a fix? I have been reading this thread for hours. LOL, it is a great forum. |

Edit: OK. So I went back to do just like what you said. Same issue. Unplugging the power supply to the camera meant the camera won't turn on at all. But the other red wire connected to the RCA cable which is still connected to the reverse light still supply 12V power to the reverse light. And this issue is causing havoc to my car system. Warnings about the reverse light and fog light failure all came up. But resolve itself after driving. Hence I can only conclude there is a fault in the MMI system. I have already messaged Roadtop about this and hopefully they can help to resolve this issue. Fingers crossed. Last edited by alex0607; 01-24-2021 at 09:08 AM.. |
