What ROM can I use that will allow customization of home menu and also allows control from iDrive knob still? Tried a few and no luck.

Also does anyone know if I have music playing on Spotify on the head unit, how can I control it from the steering wheel? It says function not available in aux when I try.
[Android Head-Units] keliuss:
Pretty sure you can't.

Only the default apps can be controlled with iDrive/steering wheel.

I am trying to pair the head unit bluetooth with the car's BT so I can play music on the headunit and control via steering wheel

However, the head unit is not detecting the car's bluetooth.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Android Head-Units] BillTheCat:
What might work is if you expose the file system where the music resides and connect to it that way. However, if you have a CIC system, FLAC won't be recognized, you'll have to go with MP3s.

There might be another solution I'm working on using a Raspberry Pi, a HiFiBerry DAC and a sizeable enough flash or SSD drive. I'll report in with that once I have time to experiment.
[Android Head-Units] mantrajt:
Hi.

I have very low audio out put through the car speakers. I can hardly hear the person talking on the other end.

All volume are set to maximum.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] Wolfsburg13:
I am trying to play music off Spotify not off my phone memory.

I have a 2014 f30 NBT with BT, I can connect to my car's BT from my phone but not from the head unit.

Just need the head unit to be able to detect/connect to the car's BT
[Android Head-Units] garrypeterson:
I don't think that will happen. These headunits are setup to be a BT receiver (like the car's BT), not a client (like your phone).
[Android Head-Units] kalinkamaen:
With my Android 7.1 CCC unit. I can change songs on Spotify with steeringwheel. To do so, I need to open original Music app for 1-2 seconds, then close it with back button. (Slide idrive to left.)

Then open spotify app. Have you tried this?
[Android Head-Units] Wolfsburg13:
I will try it. When you have music playing off the head unit, do you have AUX selected as your input? Because when I try the steering wheel buttons it says those buttons are disabled in AUX mode.
[Android Head-Units] kalinkamaen:
Yes I have them playing in AUX. But my car is older then yours, so I do not think AUX mode is the same in our cars.
[Android Head-Units] Wolfsburg13:
It actually worked!! It still shows aux input disabled on my cluster but it works. Although seems like direction is opposite to iDrive (down and click is next, up and click is back).

THANK YOU!!
[Android Head-Units] kalinkamaen:
Happy that I could help. :)

I read practically 40 pages of this thread

I have a BMW is a F11 2015 with NBT

I was thinking on buying one of the new Head units with Snapdragon 625 + 4GB + 64GB Rom with the new ID7 Android 9

Still a bit confuse if the updates are like my previous headunit from HA Dasaia on E46.

I have a good opinion from Dasaia HA Headunits

What is your feedback on the latest modules with android 8.0 and 8.1 Sound quality, radio reception and so on.

What is your opinion, does it worth it ?

Thank you

[Android Head-Units] Napas2199:

Hi everyone

I'm a new owner of an android 8.1 PX6 unit and would like some insight to avoid bricking it.

I'm would like to root the unit first and foremost. i found a 8.1 PX6 rooted rom image on bimmerpost forum that was posted. before proceeding i'd like to know if there is another root method available ?

I would like to avoid a bootloop caused by Supersu as mentionned by this forum member. Any native permissions manager available after rom is rooted to avoid installing a thirdparty ?

I went throught a lot of reading in this forum and bimmerpost forum and i'm still a bit confused about eventcenter. has anyone modified it on PX6 to avoid the kill app function ?

Anyone knows a way to backup my original rom ? any recommended method to unbrick ?

Thanks in advance for any response

How to Root

Hi, the rom itself isn't rooted. the user that posted it however redirected me to and xda forum where there was a tutorial on how to root. the tutorial is for the PX5 headunit but does work on the PX6. i tried it and was successful in geting the root. Only step i did not do is install supersu (the user mentionned he updated the binary via supersu wich caysed his unit to bootloop). It is mentionned in the tutorial to say NO when supersu ask to update module. so i think is fine if you install it as long as you do not allow it to update binary when you open supersu. I just didn't wanna take any chances so i did not install Supersu. Without Supersu you just dont have a permission manager wich means all apps will be granted root access without asking.

Here is the link to the tutorial :

https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...ion-thread-t3734189/post76725981#post76725981

There is also a video tutorial from another xda user

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v9s89fYIZ4&feature=youtu.be

I had some troubles connecting via adb at first, there is the full process of what i did to get root.

1 - Make sure to activate developer options and each time you reboot, go into developper options ans disable/enable usb debugging. make sure headunit and PC are on the same wifi network

2 - Prepare files mentionned in the turorail (rooting.rc and su), in my case i put the them in the same folder of adb so that on my pc i just had to clicked shift + right click and launched my command window from the adb folder.

3 - Do the first part of tutorial on the unit using terminal emulator. in the video tutorial ath the end, user did a reboot command. Do that also (when unit reboots make sure terminal emulator is closed, go into multitasking and clear all, then do the disable/enable usbdebug)

4 - Go to second part of tutorial on your PC.

for adb connect i add to type in : adb connect "device_ip":5555 .without it i was getting an error. you can try without it first and if you get an error try this one

when i reached the adb remount instructions i had a message that told me to execute command adb disable-verity to get write access. do it. reboot your unit. disable/enable usbdebug

After reboot of your headunit, before attempting to connect to unit again on your PC do adb kill-server.

Also check again your ip adress before reconnecting as it might change after the reboot.

Restart second part of tutorial on your pc and this time when you do adb remount you should have remount succeeded message.

On the instructions adb shell /system/bin/su --daemon&, my command prompt just hang at that instructions after i typed Enter. i waited like 5 min. Closed the command prompt window. Reopened the command prompt window and typed in the last command.

After that reboot unit and you should have root. you can check by d=installing a root checker app from playstore

Here is a copy of my command prompt session on my PC

Does someone know why when i put reverse the pdc screen doesnt show up anymore
[Android Head-Units] HotBlack77:
Thanks for the write up. That is a big help :D

I assume from what you describe you did not try and install a new ROM, but instead just focused on getting root? Can I ask what Android version your ROM is? (I am keen to try and upgrade to Android 9 and also install a normal bluetooth stack).

Did you also come up with some sort of approach to backing the unit up? I just got from my vendor, on Aliexpress, a full 8.1 ROM for my PX6 unit (this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/And...693.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.35bb4c4d4Cc2ar ) and will test that this evening to see if I can do a full restore before I start playing around with it. Install instructions are just place the prepared zip file on a USB drive and reboot.

help me please !!!!

Hi ngandjui, and sorry for my bad English. I ask you for help with a root problem on a PX6 android 8.1 device installed on a bmw. Unlike your beautiful post, I need to remove the root. The device is rooted, although Supersu tells me it is not. I can't get some apps to work because the device is rooted. The problem seems to be the presence of the "su" file in the "bin" folder: system / bin / su. I tried to delete the file "su" without success. Do you know a way to delete this file? Thank you

[Android Head-Units] Wolfsburg13:
I have a weird problem that happened randomly I think

Before when I plugged my phone in, it would show the USB device in notifications and I could tap it etc...

All of a sudden phone no longer shows up in notification area. It still works but I have to do many steps now to get my head unit app started instead of just tapping the usb connection notification. At same time, the on screen home button, menu button and back button stopped working. From my iDrive the home button also stopped working. All other buttons still work as expected (nav button opens waze etc)

I also noticed that when I tried to go into android developer options, it said "Developer Options is not available for the current user"... went back to Android settings and something I never saw before was 'Users' and I was logged in as 'Owner'. Tapping this setting does nothing.

I reflashed the android update and mcu update, but I am still in same situation.

Anyone have any ideas??

anyone have experience with 3D printing? Im trying to get an adapter to fit a 10.25 unit compatible with CCC in my E60.

Im not sure why all the sellers only offer 8.8 inch units for e60/e90 when all it'd take to use the 10.25 unit is a simple plastic adapter.

Willing to pay much more than its worth for a working adapter. doesnt have to look pretty I have a guy who can sand and paint it.
[Android Head-Units] Wolfsburg13:
I really need help here guys, anything is useful

On the Android side, iDrive Menu button does not take me back to android menu. On the android screen pressing the home button does nothing, and pressing the menu button (to show open apps) does nothing. The back button still works from the screen and iDrive though.

If i hold the iDrive menu button, it switches between iDrive and Android, so the button is sort of working.

Besides that, I can't access Developer Options in Android anymore. When I go to it, it says "Developer options are not available for this user."... so I looked in settings and there is a new setting called "Users" and it shows me as "Owner". When I tap this setting, nothing happens.

I reflashed px3.img but still the same thing. Reflashed MCU and same thing.

I found a guide online that said to install nova launcher and use it to make a widget that opens that Setup Wizard activity for users, but I did not have this activity.

It was working before and I did nothing to make it break, just stopped working one day.

Is there a way I can do a complete factory reset? I just don't want to brick my unit. I tried the reset from the Settings page but that didn't do anything I think.

Anyone have any ideas at all I can try? This is on the 7.1 unit.

ok.. call me weird.. i´m fed up, with my android unit.. so many faults.

(one of them, that i just cannot live with is: during summer, when the car gets very hot, and i go for a drive, with the AC on, after 10 minutes or so, the android unit goes nuts ! as some ghost was pressing the screen, all the time... it clearly reacts to touch input (allthough none given)... which makes it unusable.. because, it keeps changing screens...).. horrible..

on top of that comes, the horribly slow navigation, bad sound quality etc, etc..

the ONLY thing i am satisfied with, is the reverse camera function.. works flawlessly.

i have factory navigation, so my question is:

Is there ANY way.. to deactivate/delete/kill the android OS, and ONLY keep the reverse camera function, and the factory functions ?

may be a dum question, but... what do i know ? :D

Display NO SIGNAL —> So desperate ...

Hello Dear Forum & BMW "User"

I'm writing here now, because I have a problem with the Android Display 10.25 " and i Feel kind of desperate...

When I try to get to the original menu I get a "No Signal" on the left side ,,,, and on the right side several blue lines and 8L (8 liter tank left probably, which is true).

I tried in the settings to select me almost same model (F4x half screen 6.5 ") as I have. Then comes the explained “no signal” left side ,,,, and right side blue lines + 8L. If I, however select Fx4 6.5 "fullscreen, I get a no signal in the middle of the Screen. ,,, at the right side there is nothing this time!

Have a F31, built 2016, and had the little RADIO professinal WITHOUT navigation. I do not even have an optical audio cable. Have no camera installed or other optional festures.

The PDC (at the back, because I have only factory at the back) work, but a bit slow but they work ...

Anyone here has a solution,

Or what could I do? I am so desperate ... please help me.....

Not too hard and could be done with wood. My objective was to get the unit closer to me to be able to actually touch it comfortably. In hindsight after buying the unit I should have bought the larger unit with plastic surround and made it fit the E60

[Android Head-Units] bradsinram:
Thank you while thats better than the current arrangement I think something more like this would be ideal https://youtu.be/AzbQhUBmri4

I understand its an actual bmw retrofit in the video but a 10.25 android unit could be installed the same way. Ive only had my 8.1 unit for 8 months but man those new android 9.0 units with the new HD screen are looking really good. I feel like it'd definitely refresh the look of the interior.
[Android Head-Units] keliuss:
That's what I meant. I think one of the larger units made for the more modern models could be "made" to fit an E60. You would already have the plastic fascia supplied so no need of 3D printing. You'd just need to figure out how to secure it in place, not impossible I think. If my current unit died this is what I would be looking to do if buying another. I assume my E60 cables from my current unit would plug straight into the larger unit.

This may be a problem if buying one for the 1st time. The later model cars wiring harness may be different so you would need to contact the supplier to mix'n match headunit with harness, which might prove difficult.

I think one of the units for an E70 or E87 would have the same cables.

Keliuss
[Android Head-Units] bradsinram:
I think the cables from E70 or E90 10.25 units would work. but yeah as long as you buy a CCC unit the original cables should work. I've messaged 20+ sellers on ali express about it. I think it mostly comes down to the cost of creating new moulds. They said if there was enough demand for them theyd consider it but thats about as far as ive gotten. I think the only way we'll be getting 10.25 any time soon would be to 3D print or make an adapter to make an E70 or E90 10.25 unit fit.
