Thanks guys for all of those informations, basically I have an X1 F48 2016 with a 6.5 inch screen without any gps navigation and I think it is a real benifits to mount an android system on that car, meanwhile I have some questions for users that may have intalled this screen:
- I have seen that the boot time is nearly 20s for android part , is it the same boot time on the oem side as we keep the oem interface as well, because with the oem screen , the boot time is instantly ? - Do I need to mount a gps antenna or should I use the Gps splitter even though I don't have any navigation system, I keep thinking that a GPS antenna is already installed along with the radio one (roof top on the shark antenna)? - could any one give us some pictures of how they managed to pass the usb cables in the glove box ? Because when opening the glove box , I see no holes to use ? |

- If you do not have original navi system you don't have a gps antenna and you need to install the aftermarket module. - there are no holes but there is an opening in the back of the glove box. You just open it up, pass the cables and close it again |

I have 6.5" touch screen and non touch iDrive controller, and an ENTRYNAV2 HU. The proposed solution from my dealer is (looks like Avin): http://www.audicom.it/index.php?id_p...roller=product As an alternative, thinking about Unique ACP + 8.8 OEM retrofit (actually that is what I need). My issue/question is missing AUX port (on the arm board), to route the sound. Does it still exist on the head unit ? Can be unlocked ? The solution is AUX to USB adapter like: http://www.audicom.it/index.php?id_p...roller=product but would like to avoid any dongle, and keep existing USB for ENTRYNAV2. Maybe the USB splitter could be the option ? Pls advice... Mauro |

Hello guys, I have installed the android screen and I have seen a few things:
1- I have got a "No signal" on BMW oem interface. 2- no optical fiber on original car headunit connector, so I guess I need to use an aux cable and plug it on aux port. 3- no gps lock knowing that I am using the gps antenna coming with the screen. Thanks for your help. |

- 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.

I have mounted the android screen without disconnect any battery, the thing is it said in BMW documentation in here: https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f48-x1-sdrive16d-sav/repair-manuals/61-general-vehicle-electrical-system/61-21-battery-with-holder/1LqtiBBl Disconnecting and connecting the battery may lead to : 1- when the vehicle battery is disconnected, fault memories may be set in some control units. 2- The on-board computer and clock may lose your data. So we suppose that I don't have to disconnect the battery, there is no risks that the back seat side airbag will be activated when removing the C/D back pillar to pass the cable under those panels as shown in "1" on this image ? |

A couple questions for those of you with the AVIN unit that I can't find from their website.
1. Does this unit use the built in car mic's? If not but I don't need to string another is the mic anywhere as good as the cars built in one for phone calls? The default BMW mics have been excellent in my experience. 2. How does this unit interact with things like SiriusXM Sat Radio being played? I can't tell if the carplay audiot requires the car to be using "Aux In" for that audio, if so I'm not sure I'd be able to use the Sat Radio without streaming it all the time? |

Finally I have installed the rear view camera bought from aliexpress for about 40$, the mounting took me around 4 hours, I have actually passed the cables on the floor-luggage compartment to the right door sill cover strip and finally to the dashboard.
Actually I have seen many mountings that goes above the right windows underneath the trim, this is actually very dangerous , as there is the lateral airbag over there and nothing must be fixed above it (BMW documentation said so !). The camera is working perfectly. |

Can you share a link to the camera? Does it come with all the cables and everything? I was told there were cheap options just not sure how to make it work? If you could share some external pics too it would be great |
