EVERY MOD ON MY BMW F30 M SPORT [328i X-DRIVE]
Переглядів 6 тис.4 роки тому
Every mod on my BMW F30 328i xdrive M Sport. Thank you for watching my first video, let me know what video's you'd like to see on this channel! Some links are affiliate and help give money back to the channel. Exterior Parts: Black "M3" grills - amzn.to/2RJB9BL Mirror caps (not my exact ones) - amzn.to/3kqXHUe M3CS trunk lip - ebay.to/3kvooar Rear diffuser - amzn.to/3cdkfVy Exhaust tips - bit.l...
th volume level is not gonna show when using it right?
Just installed this on my BMW 328i 2012 and the OEM menu options differ lightly. But anyways the issue I have is I cannot "select" the AUX option. It takes me to the following screen where I can only change its volume (but volume can't be change, stays at lowest). My option reads as "aux" not "aux front" but that shouldn't matter I think.
Update: I got it fixed y'all. In my case I had the fiber optic cable upside-down, this cable for the sound. I unplugged it, rotated it 180°, replugged into the new harness and into the module. Everything works now
Question, my factory reverse camera stays on even after I put it in drive and goes back to idrive after I go over a certain speed, it’s useful for parking, will I retain this feature or will this switch back to CarPlay as soon as Drive is selected?
Great video
Thanks for the video. Really helpful
The latest update let’s you use the cars Bluetooth audio for everything including CarPlay. Bluetooth audio is much better than aux.
On the AliExpress link it says it works on models from 2013 - 2020. So I won't be able to get it on my 2012 F30?
Are the audio Quality the same as original?
Thank you for the video. No one else seems to actually go over how the box actually works. Only about how to install it and what features are available, but no demos like you. Great video!
Is the audio quality the same ? As in no downgrade for having to play via aux-front ?
What about the Music audio quality? Will lossless play lossless?
Does carplay activate automatically if i start the car?
Headsup display work with this CarPlay?
I chked the product link and it doesn’t wor with older bimers, the ones w/CIC systems
Great informative video. Ive seen many retrofit videlately and they have one issue or another. This system appears to solve everything. Thank u
hey nice video, what happens if u press ur voice command button on your steering wheel? does it engage Siri or the BMW assistant? i have a different kind of unit and it engages both and its really annoying as you can imagine :D
Unfortunately BMW assistant. I usually long press on the center dial or use ‘hey Siri’.
Is this wireless CarPlay?
quick question, when using navigation with apple carplay, does the navigation show on the HUD?
No, it does not.
Hello, do you have to enable it every time you start engine or does carplay open automatically?
automatically on start
The main consideration for me is whether to use one of these boxes with my existing small screen, or to also purchase a 3rd party wide-screen as well 🤔
Great review. Will it play video files over USB? And how many different types?
Does the gps from CarPlay work with the heads up display?
Will this work on a 13 f30?
Can you still have navi on at the same time as showing music? like a split screen? even if its the apple navi
if carplay music is playing and you turn off the car. Does the music start automatically from the same point when you come back to the car?
Does this work without any coding ? Plug and play? Just want to clarify.
My 2014 328i x drive didn’t come with Bluetooth, will this give me Bluetooth?
Mine is the same have you figured this out?
@Blushys what’s the vid bro I’d appreciate it
Tag me in it too!
Yes you can add Bluetooth with bimmercode
Everybody has it it’s just bmw is greedy 🫢
The link is just for the box? I’ll need to use existing screen (display ) ?
How is the sound from quality from say Apple music or other when in Carplay?
So ape CARPLAY portion is not touch screen?
Hey, great video, does the head up display work too?
This looks awesome, does it support waze? Also does it mirror at all times or could I have Nav on the screen and send text, look at emails with a map on the screen?
I just bought a BMW F31 and this was a HUGE help. Made it alot easier for me to figure out which airplay device to buy. Thank you!
Hey does your audio sound the same on the carplay, mine lost its surround sound feel when using bluetooth. If i plug-in my phone with cable then the audio sounds back to normal
Hey, can i do this to a 328i
Let me know. 😂
Can you skip track on spotify using the steering wheel button or do you always have to use the idrive controller for everything
Does the carplay system work for CIC bmw’s
Does it have digital gauges ?
Hi, i just bought the same box but i just dont get it to run wireless with android. Wired everthing works, but wireless i dont. And if i held the back button for like 3 sec it goes back to my factory screen and it seems to reboot then and start carplay again. Should i only use the menu button for a long press to switch from factory screen to carplay 😅 i dont know
Hey. Installed, all ok except one thing. After I switch off the car it’s showing No Signal, orange color, on the screen until the car’s systems are completely off (after around 10 min.). It happened to you, too or to anyone?
Can you send a link to where I can buy this unit and also the install video
really cool never seen anyone discuss these kind of transitions and how it works. One question I have is do you feel it is laggy? or smooth?
:22 I took the same photo shot through the windshield of my Acura a couple of years ago. Nice!
Nice video. How is the unit holding up?
Thanks, it’s holding up great. Only regret is not running the cord for wired carplay. The process to pair another phone is a little annoying.
@@philespo you said annoying…. Does it allow you to pair another device? Like could my pair my phone and my fiancé phone at the same time? That way if she is in the car she could play music from her phone.
what size is this? 8.8"?
Hi what is autolink?
hey there, do you happen to have an android phone? would you mind creating a video showing how android auto works with this retrofit?
Does it start up automatically when you turn on the car?
Hey there! How well does airplay mirroring works? Have you tried watching youtube videos?? Is it laggy? Any stutters? Also, do you experience any audio lag when you watch youtube videos via airplay mirroring? Thanks!
Do you have a heads up how does it interact with it
Also does it ever glitch out and not connect or is it consistent
