Some questions regarding Andream
Hey guys,
I own a BMW F48 and would like to retrofit a suitable MMI. While initially looking for the bimmertech one I've stumbled upon this insane thread (awesome work btw for all those information you guys gathered here!!!) and just found out there are way cheaper alternatives. However, I've a few questions which I hope someone might answer. I'm from Germany and I'm new here. Just found that forum pretty (well, actually the f48.bimmerpost one since it's my own model ) interesting. Currently I am looking for the Andream MMI which not only is the cheapest one but also pretty good available through Aliexpress. My car is fitted with a HUD as well as a Harman & Kardon system and OEM ear camera.
I'd like to apologize in advance if I'm just reasking some of these questions. Was really hard to find answers for everything. Last edited by Aer0; 05-15-2020 at 09:09 PM.. |

Is there anyway for Android Auto to auto-launch for wireless AA with the MMI. I've tried Auto-launch in AA settings but that doesn't do anything on the MMI (just brings up AA on my phone). I also have the latest software from Andream (20.4.2.14) installed (although havent updated to the latest MCU)
I'm running Android 10 on a Samsung S20 |

Hi Guys,
Looking to add carplay to my BMW 2015(dec) f31 widescreen (NBT EVO Id4). I am a bit confused by the different versions of carlinkit, andream and bimmertech. Who is the "original"? I would say carlinkit as they are also known for the sticks to connect carplay to Android auto cars and are known as the source (a lot of chinese people are copying their sticks). Which box would you advise to purchase? I am now considering the carlinkit Furthermore: Is it possible to just use (wired) carplay navigation and still use the original bt connection for calls? |

The only difference I could see is that the scroll wheel now works the correct way (down for next, and up for back) MCU sent to Firefly1337 so he can update post 3 again |

But if you can't wait, then do what I did and type the link in from the picture on the previous page. The software update is already on post 3 as it wasn't new. |

They all came to the market around the same time, but the Andream was cheaper and easier to get hold of (most of the sellers did not have any Carlinkit items in stock and those that did put the prices up much higher than Andream). They have since dropped the price, although it still seems to be higher than Andream's price. |

[QUOTE=cossie1;26184634]This MCU version is 20.5.9.10 (so 9th May).
The only difference I could see is that the scroll wheel now works the correct way (down for next, and up for back) Yes that is also the only difference I can see. But taking a positive from it, at least they reply to someone, even if not me |

I didn't have any lag with the previous update and don't have any with this one either.
I can only assume people are referring to moving the scroll wheel or i-drive controller quickly, so multiple clicks and only getting some movement ? But if you move it 1 click at a time, then it moves instantly. |

If use Carplays phone menu, then calls by default routed wrong- via Carplay and i can't hear other party. Strongly needed, that calls are routed via original BT, if car is equipped with S6NS (Comfort Telephony W/ Enhanced Smartphone). If i enter or accept call via wheel buttons, then right way. Seems like chineses have'nt any BMW to test it. Tested with latest sw, Andream unit.
