Help with Android 10 screen install
So my journey to get the Avin unit installed has hit a couple of bumps.. The first bump was the iDrive controller.. Had some sticky buttons and thought to take it apart and clean.. unfortunately it's a paint to take apart and I broke it.. So $180 later an Ebay Idrive is now on its way to me..ugggh
2nd bump is that the HU will not pull out maybe about an inch or two.. I barely can get my hands in there to feel the back of the unit. So what other thing can I do to get to the back.. It seems the entire center console has to come out..Is there another way? ANyone else have this issue? Thanks Mike |

I did. It shows that he has slack enough to pull the head unit out. My HU won't move more than two inches. I found the below link which It notes that they don't give enough slack at the factory and the center console has to come out. I've seen links to the newtis.info for other things and realize this is one of the best resources to disassemble any BMW

It was! I just upgraded my speakers and installed a sub, they had to remove it to connect the wires and it just came out super easy. Sucks for yours tho! Hope you find a way.

Spent most of last week slowly taking apart the center console to get to the wire bundle. Once the center console was out, I was able to get some slack. What I believe was the the issue was the routing of the right bundle. It was placed under the AC ducting whereas in the tech docs it shows it exposed.
I had to take out the duct and was able to get the slack I need. It was a true PITA. I made sure to change the routing when I reassembled so I won't have to go through this nightmare again. On the positive I was able to clean up the spilled drink on some of the trim parts. Should have it completed with some pics in the next couple of days. |

Just tried to post some pics but when I attached them they appeared upside down. So I then edited the pic so it is upside down and then attached and the pic still appeared upside down. WTF? Anyone know what the issue could be?

Hey guys,
I currently in the process of installing an Android 10, 12.3 display system on my 2018 BMW X1 (f48). I'm installing the iNAV unit sold by 4x4shop. My car didn't have the navigation package, so I will be installing the aftermarket GPS antenna. 1. I'm not sure where to place the GPS antenna for good coverage but also aesthetics, I would like to keep it out of the view (e.g., under the dashboard ...? ). I'm wondering if there is any pointer or experience placing the GPS antenna that you could share. 2. I would also like to update my iDrive Controller. I don't mind the touch control, neither need it (but if it works with the android unit, I would consider adding it too). I currently have the basic HU (5 buttons) and would like something with the 7 buttons (including tel and nav) and a bigger (modern) wheel. I see a lot of these units on eBay but I'm not sure which one to buy that I just could plug & play but removing old and placing the new with the same cable. Any pointers here? Thanks in advance, |
