3- no gps lock knowing that I am using the gps antenna coming with the screen.
Thanks for your help.

Ok Finally I have succeeded to install the android screen (Black screen 10.25 inch display, Qualcom 8 core, 4G RAM, 64G stoage with 4G LTE):
- The "no signal" message was due to a badly plugged power harness.
- No need to run an AUX cable as the sound is perfectly working on android and BMW part (sound quality on android side is the same as on the BMW side)
- I have installed the GPS antenna inside the dashboard and keep receiving a very good signal strength and GPS fix is nearly instant. so no need to install the antenna on a visible place.
I have changed the android UI to ID6 as I don't like the ID7 part.
So far everything is working perfectly through wifi tethering. I did not yet test the 4G LTE.
Will update after a week of full tests.
one thing though, As I had an 6.5 inch display, I got a half display image on the BMW side, I know that I need to do some coding to configure the CAR on an 8.8 inch, so how would I do this ? thanks.
