[Android Head-Units] Cuatro4:
I go to this forum to see if you can help me, I recently acquired a Mekede screen with android 9.0 LTE and 4-64gb for a BMW F01 CIC, but they have sent me an NBT, at the suggestion of the seller I have tested it in my car but, as expected, it does not work properly, my question for the forum is, would it be possible to flash the rom to put the CIC version?
[Android Head-Units] smahel:
on rk3399 units this is not possible, MCU for CIC and NBT differ not only in firmware but also in hardware. I assume it is similar for Snaprdagon units.

Hi,

I have an android HU for BMW F10. It is PX6 android 8.1 including ID5 and ID6 GUI. I want ID7 GUI. I found an update for PX6 Android 8.1 firmware dated 20190611.

The present one:

4.4.126 (gcc version 6.3.1 20170404 (Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.05))

rk3399-userdebug 8.1.0 OPM5.171010.019 eng.zxw.20181228.162012 test-keys

Can I use "PX6_20190611.zip" firmware for my HU ? I am afraid of bricking it. And if this firmware is ok for upgrdae , do I have to edit/copy factory.xml, car_type or any other file ?
[Android Head-Units] smahel:
In my opinion it should go, but the risk of bricking unit is always present. You can ask your vendor for the latest firmware, or at your own risk try this.
[Android Head-Units] michael873:
I think the main problem is the screen resolution after loading the new firmware. So can you suggest me an latest PX6 8.1 (1280x480) BMW F10 display) firmware ? There are so many PX6 8.1 firmware on the net.

advise on reseller

Hi,

My 4.4 unit begans to having issues (flickering screen), so i contacted avin, but they wont replace it....

Nevertheless i am thinking of buying another unit qualcomm 4 G LTE version, can somebody recommend me a good (chinese/aliexpress) reseller?

I bought it at avin to have better support, but yeah.....

thanks in advance
[Android Head-Units] laimarc:
this soultion found on another forum worked for me

Launch the default music app before you start the navi

Unfortunately no, we're on the same boat. A workaround could be a tasker profile running at startup.

In my casse, I don't use original chinese home app/music player so I made a script running at startup opening and closing che chinese app. Then I can use waze and spotify with no problem.

Hello nomorebigideas,

The parking sensor is working for you in rear camera screen ? I means you can see the PDC radar in the right hand side.

Did you try Picture in Picture function ? For exemple, can you see youtube on rear camera view ?
[Android Head-Units] rauleeros:
I haven't seen this issue before, but it may just be as simple as looking at the onCreate() code from the default music app and add it into a script that is triggered on boot.
[Android Head-Units] laimarc:
not being a specialist, can you tell me more about this idea ?
[Android Head-Units] rauleeros:
Hey there. I'm no specialist either by any means.

The steps would be:

1- get music apk from android system.

2- decompile using an online tool or apktool to get Java-like code.

3- look for the main activity code, more specifically, the onCreate() function.

4- understand what the function does and recreate it.

5- run it (the function in an apk, service, or terminal) at boot.
[Android Head-Units] laimarc:
thank you, that's what i said i'm not a specialist

Buttons buttons and buttons again

Hi to all !!!

I have e61 2004 and Android PX6 from Isudar CCC version (If someone will need I have Android 8 and 9 roms without MCU update).

So everything seems fine with this stereo except one damn thing I really hate. So the issue with it is SWC.

Example:

On boot I want to use Spotify app BUT buttons on SCW to skip tracks will not work. To make them work I need to wait until stock music player launches and then I need to close it and return to spotify, after all this hastle I can start skipping tracks with SCW BUT if I return to iDrive I cant skip tracks again, so I need to repeat procedure with stock music player.

This issue drives me crazy every time I start my car, can you please help me solve that. Thnx in advance.

Hi guys!!!.

I´ve an Android Head Unit PX6 8.1 on BMW F48 with no navigation.

I recently bought a Carplay dongle wired, which works ok. The problem is that when I want to use Waze, via Carplay, I have to send the audio, in the BMW side, trought AUX, which is where Android takes the sound, but in this way, I can´t get the original radio working.

If I put Autokit app, as navigation system into de Android settings, it works, I can hear the original radio but I can´t hear the Waze indications trought the front left speaker.

With any navigation, as Sygic, iGo, etc, it works ok, but no with Autokit (the Carplay app).

If the sound of Autokit would de listen trought de front left speaker it would be perfect for me.

Does anyone, has any solution?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

i buy a avinusa product, Qualcomm Snapdragon 4G LTE units, Model: BAVF30A-1025B.

in this first screenshot, i have just no signal and no sound of the android system, just always the sound of bmw system (Radio and other system sound) and the button idrive works.

After i do a update of the firmware, and no change ... (see second screenshot)

so i do a update of the last MCU, i found in f30.bimmerpost thread

(i can't post the link)

MCU GS_20191127

CIC-1054

And now i have no sound at all, all the radio button and idrive button are not working :(

I'm lost :(

Maybe someone can help me with that ?

Thank's a lot and sorry for my pitiful english
[Android Head-Units] dodgePT:
This might be a dumb answer, but... did you change the audio source to AUX on the original radio?
[Android Head-Units] TiToyz:
No dumb question ;) i can"t change the source audio, all the radio button and idrive not working now and i have still "no signal" when i switch for the bmw system
[Android Head-Units] dodgePT:
I'd check the fuses than. Especially if you've got no backlight on the radio display.

Something may have short-circuit.

Hello I have a 4.4.4 unit and it's pretty hit and miss, I have an e70 x5 with cic and full spec BMW system including TV, DVD etc. which does everything I need, I purchased this item purely as a screen upgrade and don't use the android side at all and was wondering if there is a way to completely do away with the android side of things to stop it booting up

and just use the screen with original BMW set up as mine always boots to android and I have to hold down menu button every time I start car which is annoying
[Android Head-Units] Azurael:
Does anybody have any recommendations for a replacement for the default music player on these things? (I have a Snapdragon 625/Android 9 unit in my E60)

The stock one is horrible, not only does it make finding music a pain because it only navigates by folders in a completely random order but it also stops playing a lot of my files half way through, claiming they're corrupted.

BlackPlayer EX (which is the music player I usually use on Android devices anyway) sorta works - track skip using the steering wheel buttons is fine, for example, but you can't navigate properly with the iDrive controller (and the touchscreen is horrible to use in the position where the E6x/E9x units mount.) PowerAmp Pro doesn't see any music at all...

I mainly put the unit in for GPS and Bluetooth so I guess it's not the end of the world if I end up playing music off my phone, but it just seems silly not to use it after sticking a MicroSD full of music in.
[Android Head-Units] No_Fear:
Try Player Pro.

For me the best one.

Hi,

I no longer know how to solve my problem and I hope you can do it!

I have a "chinese bmw android headunit" 10.25 "Android 8.1 rk3399 2GB of RAM (Eonon GA9203NB).

The manufacturer gave me an update, to resolve French translation problems...

I did the update, and everything went well, I then installed my favorite applications... etc!

At the moment I am not using the vehicle (coronavirus), and when I got into my car again, the screen did not turn on... only the backlight, but it worked, whether it was on the OEM side and the Android side (my Carplay USB key worked and the music was playing).

Luckily, I had activated the USB debugging mode and using my computer and ADB to restart in Recovery mode, the screen turned on again.

I could not make any other choice than the 1st in Recovery (I think it is simply used to restart), but that was enough to unlock the display.

I perform a reset (with the Android settings), because I thought that one of my settings (change launcher) was the cause of the problem.

Everything worked fine when I turned off the vehicle, and you guessed it, the same way when I turned it back on, it never turned on again...

The problem is that my USB debugging mode is not activated this time, I can't connect with ADB.

The manufacturer told me to start the update again (clicking on a popup...) but I don't see anything and I am not able to click & update...

The screen is completely black from the start, no Android or BMW logo, no message. You can see the video https://drive.google.com/open?id=112F381Hd_Nc8pf_7Wqw46uXxTzjC6oY4 when I only powered it in 12v.

If I perform the Github procedure, without the resistance, do you think I can connect with ADB ? or the USB debugging mode should be activated?

Can I connect a screen? or i don't know?

Do I have another solution? Thanks !
[Android Head-Units] keliuss:
Got out of the car on Monday evening while listening to the stock music player. Got back into the car next morning and the unit boots up and continues playing where I left it, as usual. But the skin on the music player was different. I don't have any other music player app installed.

It looked a little better than the usual skin

[IMG="2"]https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5018121&stc=1&d=1589390314[/IMG]

I clicked on the little icon bottom left and got a graphic equaliser. It also says "No lyrics file!" so presumably could display that too.

Of course I had to see if anything else on the main menu was changed but no, all still the same, and I had a feeling the music player had reverted to standard also.

[IMG="3"]https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5018123&stc=1&d=1589390314[/IMG]

Sure enough, it had.

Does anyone know if this is to be found in some setting? I'm usually pretty good at finding these things but this is a mystery.

[Android Head-Units] notman05:
I've been trying to find a replacement too, and so far, I'm really liking the "Pi Music Player". So far, it has the best visuals, for a landscape layout, and is easy to navigate. I do wish it was a LITTLE more 'car' friendly (meaning easy to quickly see actions, while driving).

I'm still wanting a way to change the head unit's launcher icon, to open a different player though. As with you, I absolutely hate the default player (as I feel most people do). It would be nice if the default launchers would come with an option to change defaults for all of the buttons, like they do for the map.
[Android Head-Units] haxx94:
I discovered that the buttons near the CD slot (the arrows which allow you to change the music you are listening to) can work with Headunit Reloaded app (and all other apps), following this procedure: Open Headunit Reloaded app and open spotify, than press home button of the android screen and open the original player app of the android screen, than close it pressing left the idrive button, than you can open Headunit Reloaded and you can use the arrows to change song on spotify.

if someone who has more knowledge of decompiling apk could understand how the original MusicPlayer.apk works, an app could be created that opens when the car is started to allow you to use the multimedia buttons in all the apps.

PX6 USB Carplay not working and no reverse camera

Hi

I have a px6 running android 8 and MCU version is 023042bGS-NBT-HW7/190118. I have an odd issue as below:

1. Carplay stopped working and Autokit did not detect dongle. Installed autokit on tablet and connected dongle using OTG - it worked fine!

2. Connected USB flash drive to Head unit . It's not detected!

3. Connected phone, it charges fine from Head unit usb and i am also getting output from multimeter

4. Seller provided mcu update (023042bGS-NBT-HW7/190118) file which i managed to do using SD card but still no storage device or carplay dongle is detected.

5. Connected keyboard via usb and that works fine.

6. I have cleared cache and reset via recovery mode to no avail.

not sure if this is a bug with the firmware or i am missing something blatantly obvious. My reverse cam stopped working around the same time as car play adapter. however, when i connect camera to tv using rca cable, it lights up fine.

any suggestions please?

thank you

I have a similar problem on a 2014 F30 with Professional Navigation. I installed a 10" Android screen and everything works fine until I turn the car off and it should enter "sleep". Instead it seems to remain hanged and when turning ignition ON the screeen ( BMW part ) nevers starts again, no sound, no iDrive controlls, just the Android side works.

I found that disconnecting the car's battery for 30 seconds "fixes it", but removing the battery everytime I start the car is not really an "friendly user experience".

So, @hansu03, @TiToyz did any of you ever found a "real fix" ?

Hi

new to the forum and have been searching to see if i can update my Android unit in my BMW f22

I have an AVIN unit with

MCUVer: 020342bGS-NBT-HW7-180921

Android version 8.0.1

I believe this is the PX6 chip as i have updated it from Avin once before but now their links do not work on their support page.

Am i correct in saying I have to update the MCU Version first before it is even possible to update the android version ?

And if so once this is done am i restricted to only Version 8.x.x of Android (ie Android 9 and 10 will not work)

Hi guys - hope you don't mind me posting but I have the e92 idrive version of this, exact same spec I believe?

I have fitted mine today and most of it's working fine but I have a few issues some of you may have experienced before and can hopefully advise.

The main one is my unit is not receiving a GPS signal, I purchased the additional GPS splitter so use the OEM antenna (which works fine) but the unit isnt picking up a signal, I can't find anything in the settings on this?

I also have a USB dab+ antenna which works fine with other android devices but for some reason the dab+ app doesn't recognise the antenna is plugged in, I have tested the USB port using a memory stick which works fine. I suspect the USB antenna isn't getting the correct permissions but again I can't find anything in settings which relates to this.

Any advise appreciated thanks guys
