Hi My E84 also didn't come with idrive + controller. Im planing to install an android system. The idrive controller came with the android system looks very plastic so i decided to buy the original from bmw. However it doesn't come with wire which connects to the system. The mechanic i showed advised me to get a wire. How did you connect the controller to the system. Does the wire already exist in your bmw or did you buy separately? |

I purchased an android 9.0 4GB ram / 32 GB memory from Navifly on AliExpress. Screen went dead on me within a week of ownership. Navifly refused to send me a new unit. They asked me to dis-assemble the screen and send the PC board back lol. Needless to say I went through a dispute with Ali express and they refunded me my money.
I re ordered the same unit from navifly because I believe I just got a dud. Too bad the seller didn't want to cooperate. I would of sent back the old unit no problem.

Avin / 4x4 shop all the same stuff. They buy from Navifly / Mekede in China and rebrand for a huge markup here.
If you are using apple car play, doesnt matter what android version you got. Your using your phones processor at that point. Quote:

Finally got my new unit in after a huge delay with the corona virus and Chinese New Year.
All good again. Pro Tip - connect your phones Blue tooth directly to your car, dont bother connecting it to your new android screen. The phone quality isnt as good as the stock system. For Apple Carplay users, i find this the best option.

I bought from Avin, but their tech support and response time is pretty shitty. They have been improving, as they now actually have a support site, but still pretty lackluster. If you have put in an aftermarket deck into a car before you should be able to handle this install, it isn't too hard.

I bought one from hifimax and I get a static noise, since I have the middle speaker they told me to modify the harness but the middle speaker didnt have sound so I undid that and now I have static, does anyone had this problem before? Nothing is connected wrong since a professional installer did it, also no video from the backup camera, we tested 2 cameras

Hey guys!
I recently purchased a used AVIN unit. It boots and works ok, but I am having some troubles... My X1 came with OEM screen, GPS, parking sensors, rear camera, Idrive, etc... With this unit I am having a tough time getting the rear camera to function properly. I see that the unit and sensors are working, since it goes to the rear camera mode whenever I get close to something, and I hear the beeps, however, I can't see it. I saw that by going to system settings and changing the camera, I could select original camera. I did that and now all I hear is the beep, it won't even get in the rear camera mode. Also, It does not have any OEM functionality... whenever I hit car info or whatnot, it just shows an analog clock. Something else I've noticed is that I have no audio... I can hear the regular radio, but whenever I go into carplay I can not hear anything... Lastly... no factory GPS. To solve that I purchased a GPS splitter, which will get here soon. Any pointers? I just connected the main harness and the fiber cables to the main unit and the other end to the monitor. Other than that I have not connected anything. I have been trying to look for any instructions for CIC vehicles but have not been able to find anything... if at least I could know what cables I'm taking out, I could have an idea on how to solve this. Any help?

Took the plunge...
So, I ordered a unit... should be here before my road trip. I'm basically considering this a $500 way to get bluetooth for my phone If I get any of the other cool crap.... bonus! (and hopefully I can manage to get it installed at all - ha!)
The Tune2Air solution I was using is absolute crap - maybe I was just unlucky but it is SUPER inconsistent. Either way, I'm looking forward to the challenge of the install. I'm handy and have installed head units before, but we'll see how I make out. I have a 2015 e84 with no OEM screen/IDrive. My looming questions are: Does my car have a GPS antenna already? (Doesn't really matter, I'll use the unit's antenna). Can I add apple car play after the fact? (It should have build in wireless, but read it can be buggy - I would hate to have another buggy system, especially after spending 500!) Can I use wired car-play in case of buggy wireless? Still, whatever I come up with can't be worse. Will let you folks know how it turns out and will try to take pics. PS. Decided not to mess with the backup cam at this point...

I am not sure about the antenna but the screen will come with a gps puck, on the e84 i was able to get it on a shelf under the dash to the left of the screen and it worked fine. Also for the phone depending on the unit you may be able to add an external mic. You may or may not have to use an aux cable. I have all option car so I have to use aux. No nav or bluetooth it may auto switch without an aux cable. |

I am done trying to figure this out... if you have a CCC X1 (no screen, IDrive, cameras, etc...) hit me up... I’ll get you a good deal with this!
