anyone with a car play dongle have a problem where the android system won't remember app permissions? every time I turn the car on I have to either allow it on screen or reconnect the dongle.

[Android Head-Units] dice66:
Hello,

Does anyone have a PX6 Android 8.1 image?

I am trying to get one from the seller but they answer like they use voyager pigeons.

Also, managed to bootloop mine by updating SuperSU.

Fixed it with ADB, i think the main problem is that it creates a new file in System\bin called app_process64 that replaces the original called app_process64_original.

The new one contains only the SU path, whereas the old one is much more complex.

I bought an 7.1 android 2gb unit from alibaba, and the android unit just shows a black image , but the factori side is working fine. How can i reset the unit???? Is there some mcu update for 7.1 android systems , this is a bmw x5 e70 cic unit.

please help!

Unfortunately not. I negotiated paying some extra cash and exchanged the unit for the newly released android head unit running 7.1 which is far more stable and actually a quicker system.

Hi All,

My unit is on the December version and i tried installing the August update. I used a USB stick which was immediately detected by the unit. The update appeared to install correctly (rebooted and showed the android upgrade screen for a few minutes). After completion the unit booted up, but still shows the same version as before?

I'm quite certain i've used the correct update.img (from page 23 of the F30.Bimmerpost forum thread). Does anyone have any ideas why this may be failing?

Thanks :)
[Android Head-Units] daxtor:
Not sure why that happened, but you can ask Avin to give you a special tool to flash the firmware again. Do note that if you go this route it will pretty much factory reset your tablet and you'll lose everything installed/already set up.

Hi friends, I have a question regarding this aftermarket retrofit.

I bought a similar device on aliexpress while I live in Germany. Here is the link to this device for my 320d f30

https://m.de.aliexpress.com/s/item/32819255120.html

Now this AVIN specs and my device specs are both same. I want to upgrade my firmware and root it.

Is it possible and safe? Can any experts here tell me if my device is the same as avin and can I use this update.img to upgrade my device without bricking it?

I don't want to do a costly mistake now. Moreover my seller on aliexpress is not providing password for developer settings. I don't know why. Can I bypass it with this firmware update? Or am I still struck without root?

Thanks in advance
[Android Head-Units] plikmuny:
Can i Flash this Firmware with Password protected Developer Setting ? will it be successfull or should i have to first remove the Password and then try to Flash this latest Firmware ?

Pls guide me. Thanks
[Android Head-Units] madmunky:
How much has everyone done with this, I've never really used Android before. I used the Rockchip tool to extract the img file and then I can see all the apk files which can be unpacked. Has anyone modified things like the Launcher.apk or MediaPlayer.apk files?

I've not got my unit yet it comes next week but if things like the media player do not match the OEM one I would like to try update the apk to make some of the application feel more stock/oem, no idea if this will be possible :)

Rooted - Strange time behavior?

After reading through post and well not a total fan of the stock UI for music and the units sometimes laggy google maps I decided to use KingRoot and then Supersume.

Kingroot managed to finally root the unit after possible 5 attempts and I was getting a little nervous that I had borked the whole thing as I wasn't getting the usual response from unit.

I manage to get Supersume to work also but also not getting a lot of response but after a reboot I install SuperSU and it was working. I install Titanium Backup which I own so next question is now that

I have it rooted what can be stopped or " frozen" to aid in unit performance?

On a side note after rooting the unit I am getting strange time setting behavior. The clock keeps setting itself back to 12:00 am sometimes (at random like it rebooted) when I turn the car on, as it doesn't seem like the same issues as the 24 hour time problem not sure what to do here. I also found that google maps won't function properly unless it gets some internet time before starting (maybe just specific to my setup) but it's kinda pissing me off big time as the whole reason I went with the purchase is to get google maps.

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

One bonus and I am not sure for the life of me if its a setting or just something that was done but the OEM backup camera is suddenly coming on over the android interface every time I put the car into reverse without having to switch back to the factory side on the head unit.

As Tommy told me this likely wouldn't end up in the firmware at any point soon, I have no idea how its doing it but I am happy it is.
[Android Head-Units] Pupwiz:
Just checking before I play with the launcher and for clarification, Is there any issues adding a launcher say FCC car? I have no issues with the one that came with the unit other than no ability to make changes, most of the stock apps I won't be using . Just reading through I wasn't sure your issues where from changing the launcher or other modifications that you where attempting to do.

Thanks

Anyone here knows how to improve both the GPS antenna speed and bluetooth connection? I'm having problem with both with the latter being a real problem as it will not connect properly half of the time.

The only feature working properly from the start is the wifi connection when I set my phone to hot spot.
[Android Head-Units] CleanKM:
I updated the first post to include new MD5 calculations from AVIN Rom releases, updated the factory.xml, mapApkLst.txt, and CarType.xml.
[Android Head-Units] CleanKM:
Yes, you should be able to update the ROM even though the developer setting is password protected. You can bypass the password protection by downloading the Developer Setting from the play store, it will launch the menu without a password.

I have not modified the .apk files from deconstruction of the ROM, however if you root the unit, you can then go through a file manager and rename the old Launcher.apk to something like Launcher.apk.old and replace one with you want to use. Same would apply for MediaPlayer. If you install a custom launcher though, when you click the Home button, it should prompt you which launcher you want to use by default, so there wouldn't be a benefit modifying the file that way. Media Player (Music, Video, etc.) would benefit with the changing of .apk files i would think. Hope that helps.

My unit also had this problem. There was a Chinese navigation application pre-loaded on the unit that contained maps and data files for it that took up all this space. I used a file manager to find the large directory and deleted it, which freed up almost 7 Gigs. Hope that helps.

Once Rooted, you can download some system application removers from the play store to remove programs that you do not use. For example, i disabled the EZConnect software because i cannot get it to work with iPhone X properly, and honestly would never use it. I disabled media player, gmail, and some other items because i do not use them. The time function should work if you change the setting in the Factory options to "Original Time" with everything else unchecked. Also change your timezone in the Android Settings to where you are. Then enable the get time from network in the same area. The reverse camera is supposed to come on and override the android interface when you go into reverse. Once you drive a little, it should switch back to android. Is that not whats happening to you?

No issues adding an additional launcher to the unit, but you will have to put some effort into customizing the new launcher. The system should initially prompt you when you press the home button which launcher you want to use, to which you can set the default. Removing the launcher is just as simple as uninstalling it. Hope that helps.

Are you on GEN1 or GEN2? I would make sure that the cable is not getting pinched somewhere if you are on GEN1. If on GEN2, i recommend getting the factory GPS splitter which allows you to use BMW's GPS unit for better performance. Can't help on the bluetooth because i never paired anything with it. I use the OEM side bluetooth for phone and music streaming.

Hi Guys,

I just found a android 6 version of the headup for my F11 for about 600 €.

Android Head Unit 10,25" - AVIN like

Sharing my experience.

Device: my device is also from China, although it came from an European importer and not from AVIN USA, but the physical appearance is the same.

Specifications:ŵ

•	Frequency: Quad Core Cortex A7, Frequency 1.3 GHz

•	RAM: 1GB DDR3

•	ROM : 16 GB Nand Flash

•	Screen resolution: 1024*600 LVDS high definition LCD

•	APPVer: 20170823-Ver1.0.0.0001_foreign_A

For me, the main problem is the poor GPS, it takes about three minutes to fix the position, so I began to address this problem.

I cleared AGPS data, no luck.

I read that some of these Chinese devices have a file gps.conf that “looks” first for Chinese ntp servers and it would be a good idea to update that file for another version with other time servers, in my case, europe.pool.ntp.org.

I rooted the unit with Kingoroot (very easy, it worked at first try) but there was no gps.conf file in the system/etc (only another gps file that only had the 9600 baud rate).

After rooting it became extremely slow and with a strange behaviour (it was always asking for su access), so I removed the rooting (also very easy, one click) and here I am with a good device and a very slow GPS.

As the guy who installed the unit in my F32, put the GPS receiver inside the passenger A-pilar, I removed it from there and put it over the dashboard and it seems to be a little better.

Any idea on the software side to improve this?

If not, I think the next step will be to buy a Adafruit GPS Antenna - External Active Antenna - 3-5V 28dB 5 Meter SMA [ADA960] to see if it improves (I think – I hope - it works with this device).

As this is my first post here I don't know if is ok. Please tell me if something is wrong.

If it's ok, afterwards I’ll share my experience with some software I’ve already installed.
[Android Head-Units] m5james:
I'm going to assume there's no differences between AVIN and eBay units other than a sticker placed on the back. When asked generic questions like a copy of the firmware, some settings, etc AVIN will have a reply. When asked for the Developers Settings password or what Bluetooth chipset is in it as to why I can't get the stereo to see my JB4 (a generic tablet couldn't see it either, so I'll continue using my dashmounted LG tablet), they couldn't tell me.

As for price, I got two units for $480 each just before Christmas...I couldn't find better prices anywhere. I also haven't been able to find the GPS splitters either.

Overall I'm happy with the device :)

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

I've had an issue a few times where it wouldn't find a signal (GPS or Wifi), but stopping it via the Android settings and then relaunching it made it work.

I mentioned this on xbimmers, but I've been using an app called AutoTether...once it sees I'm connected viato Bluetooth to the stereo, it'll turn in my hotspot as well. Within moments I've got music playing, I hate the NAV button on the iDrive and I've got WiFi going and Waze connected and running.

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

Thank you for this! Found a pro version on Mobilism. I've got my Note 2 rooted using Kingoroot and I hated that I couldn't use a normal SU app. Oddly SuperSUme says phone isn't rooted even though I'll get a Kingo popup every time it needs permissions, but I'll figure that out.

Are you leaving SuperSUme on after the fact or are you installing another SU and BusyBox?

EDIT: Kingroot or Kingoroot?

Radio px3 android 7.1 ccc bmw e90

Hello all. About 3 months ago I bought Radio android CCC 7.1 for BMW E90 from the seller on aliexpress

After a month problems started, after an hour of driving on a google map application or another radio turned into a black screen or pixels appeared.

For a month, the radio does not turn on at all on the android side. The CCC system and the reversing camera work well. Do you know how to repair the radio? does anyone have any software to restore the android 7.1 px3 system? When the radio was still running I tried various updates from the bimmerpost department of the f30 but it did not help.

The seller from China does not help at all. I apologize for my English, thank you for your help.

[Android Head-Units] Marcin8690:
That's not good. I can buy a motherboard for $ 120 from a Polish seller with a warranty. Perhaps I will do so. I am afraid to send a radio to China, I am not sure whether it will be sent back, moreover I broke off the plombe when I put anti-glare on the screen so I do not have a guarantee anymore.
[Android Head-Units] kalinkamaen:
Do you have a link to polish seller? Do he sell 8.1 (PX6) motherboards?
[Android Head-Units] Marcin8690:
I know that you can buy the whole radio here on Android 8.1, hxxps://bmwmedia.pl/, they have good support but the price is cosmic. I think that you will not buy the motherboard alone from this seller. You can always ask. I order the motherboard from another Allegro dealer: hxxps://allegro.pl/oferta/android-7-1-1-nawigacja-radio-bmw-e60-e61-ccc-cic-7829248607.
