I finally had a few responses back. I was ready to pay my $800 for this unit and now its $900 because Carplay is external. I don't feel great about paying that much money for this. Should I be looking at AVIN USA?

New E84 owner here! I purchased the AVIN package and finished my install today. Everything went smoothly with a couple of exceptions...
Installed the backup camera and spliced the wires from my reverse lights. This was working for a couple of hours but just went to start my car again and I'm getting no signal. I'm assuming it's because the camera isn't getting enough power from the reverse lights. I've read through this thread and saw that some people are getting power from another source but I'm not sure how or where to run the cable. I also purchased a front camera but can't find any instructions/tutorials on installing this. Any help would be appreciated! |

I'm not an expert but hoping this can help you. 1st issue: Back Up Camera -You may need to wire it from rear going to the head unit lcd displsy,you can see some wiring diagram on my post on this tread. 2nd issue:Front Dash Cam My lcd display Android is from 4x4ca,there shiuld be another input rca feim your avin for the dash cam,now once all are wired and connected,you may need to get the pass code for factory set up to enable the dash cam to show on your lcd screen,again I have seen this setting but dis not really proceed as I have a dash cam with display already. I would recommend reaching to avin to ask support Goodluck Neil

Install was very easy. I have to say... this was very much worth getting. The quality of just about everything is fantastic. Super responsive. I haven't played too much with it but DAMN my 2015 M3 with F15 10" screen interface seems old school compared to this. A few little quirks, we'll see if they stick.

Guys I've got a quirk I can't get rid of:
PULSING NOISE after TURNING OFF CAR. It does NOT GO AWAY until I LOCK THE CAR. Does everyone have this same problem? I did reach out to 4x4Shop and they told me this noise is coming from the OEM BMW Radio and its completely normal. I guess I didn't know this would happen because an audible pulsing through the speakers isn't exactly normal to me. Any help? Besides this... its fantastic. I was sold an external Carplay adapter because its supposedly superior and more stable. Its a great looking unit.

AVINUSA Android 10.25" Screen Question
Dear XBimmers
This is my first post and I've come here for sanity over my situation. I recently purchased my e84 X1 and I had the AvinUSA 10.25" Android Screen installed. I LOVE IT - it rocks. Also, I believe it does something that AVINUSA said it can't do - that is my new screen will play voice navigation instructions WHILE the car is set to TUNER. Yes, my Sygic navigation software I installed will interrupt my local radio station while the stereo is set to "TUNER" and play me turn / turn navigation instructions over the left speaker. NOW - This is great but for the life of my I have no idea how this is working as AVINUSA said this cant be done. I thought I was losing my mind - was that navigation voice in my head or was I really hearing it? Well, others hear it too so I think I'm sane. What is baffling me is how this is working. It only seems to work when I cycle the steering wheel controls through TUNER/AUX and then back to TUNER. The voice navigation still plays. Again, this is EXACTLY what I want to happen, I'm just perplexed as to how it happens and AVINUSA said that was impossible and stopped short of calling me a lunatic (not really but I felt insane). Can anyone please educate me on this - have you experienced this and please tell me how and why this works? Many thanks people - Rob |

Glad I found this...Mrs W's X1 does have sat nav and she is bursting my chops to have it installed
Alot of you guys are fitting them with cameras etc. which is not required but would be nice. The car has no Idrive at present, so I assume I can buy this and the knob comes with it? Whats the most simplest system for just sat nav that is available? Preferably from aliexpress or such like? TIA

Ok...Looking at this one here chaps
Question is, when you are using this sat nav, does the existing radio have to be in AUX mode or does the sat nav work along side the existing? Meaning that you can use your radio/media as normal. So that the spoken instruction interrupts the media playing through the speakers?
