Nice upload, I’ve been looking at doing this to my E61 for a while.
@StreetSoldierUK Thanks 👍🏻. Yeah definitely worth doing I think.
Great info, I was looking for some time for the exact screen, to add functions to the original system, thank you. This summer is in plan.
@zontarr8812 Thank you for the comment 👍🏻 im pleased it's helped you out. If you have any questions please just let me know.
Hi BF, impeccable timing again, ordered unit gets here next week. I will need to do the AUX addition at the back of the unit as my car didn't come with an AUX plug at the back of the centre console (previous owner swapped the headunit for one that has the AUX option). I noticed that your new AUX cord doesn't have an inline resistor, but, all the ones I see on Amazon do. Will the resistor have an effect on the line output like the original BMW AUX socket did (before you bypassed it)? Hopefully this makes sense.
@petermenz5994 Hi Peter, thanks for the comment and great question. I'm not 100% sure that's a very valid point I don't think it will...... That's got me thinking now. I'm sorry I couldn't be anymore help.
@@TheBimmerFixer No worries, can you put up a link to the AUX cord you used?
@petermenz5994 Yeah sure sorry forgot to do that. I'll do it now 👍🏻
Hi Peter, I have just put the link in the description for the AUX cable I used. I can see what you mean about the inline resistor cables, they are everywhere.
@@TheBimmerFixer Thanks BF.
Do these have any cool display wallpapers or themes so it not just boring look when driving
@djvenom1842 Yeah they do there's about 10 to choose from but I think there's a way to add more or use personalised wallpapers I think anyway.
Did you had to disconnect the battery negative cable first before installing the android unit.
@HaKiezCanShuFFle1 Hi, I didn't no just turned the ignition off. You can always disconnect the battery to be extra safe.
Hey buddy, I'll assume this is still functional with the earlier M-ASK iDrive System (2006 E63 650i - small screen, no Navigation)?
@Oxedizer Hey buddy, good question. It should do if it has AUX input.
@@TheBimmerFixer Legend, I'll keep you updated when It arrives
@Oxedizer Thats great! Yeah pleased do 👍🏻😀
With the touch screen,it does seem a long reach…,I went for mmi,original screen,via original menu,using the original toggle👍
@tedbaker7844 Thats a good call 👍🏻
I went for the M12v unit , I favoured the drive wheel use over the touch screen , also aux audio isn’t that good compared to Fibre optics offer with the MMI units.
What about parking sensor can show in the screen parking sensor distance.?
@sahitdedushi It's comes up if you have the original home screen on. I think you need to change settings for it to come up on new home screen. But a camera is easy and cheap to fit too if you want too.
@@TheBimmerFixer thanks man
I've just tried to order one of these for my e61 530d 2009, I'm in the UK live near Middlesborough but the Autoabc site says that shipping not available to this address, has anyone else experienced this?
@skidillydiddily8571 Hi thats annoying! Last time I saw that it was because they were out of stock but instead of saying that they say can't be delivered to that address. Have you messaged them directly?
It was last night I tried to place an order with no joy with my address, I've just tried again a few minutes ago & low & behold order successful!
Looking forward to receiving this, many thanks for the reply.
@skidillydiddily8571 Thats great news! Let me know if you have any questions. Something worth trying is not connecting the AUX cable to the AUX socket in the car. The other day I unplugged the AUX cable but the music still came through the speakers! Probably a bit clearer too! So try play some music before finally fitting everything back together. It might all work without the Aux cable 👍🏻
Do you know RAM this uses as I know they can be quite slow on certain models ?
@jjatv6390 Thats a great question, I'm not too sure but I will find out for you. It runs very smoothly so I would think its at least half decent. But will try find out for you.
@@TheBimmerFixer thank you pal! I’m guessing it’s decent tbf
@jjatv6390 Thats ok mate. Yeah I think it is, I was trying to catch it out yesterday and it kept up fine.
@@TheBimmerFixer yeah I’ve ordered one got it for £164 so can’t moan so if don’t like it just Return it haha
@jjatv6390 Bargin! Nice one! 👍🏻
Hi mate not bad price tba 👍
@Quick2004 Hi mate, yeah I thought that too. 👍🏻
How long shipping mate ?
@Quick2004 5 days mate and you get full tracking. So you can keep an eye on it the moment it leaves the store.
Any import fees ?
@Quick2004 Nope none and it's free delivery for orders over £150 at the moment.
Placed an order yesterday, no confirmation email and no response on the web chat. Have I been scammed?
@Rik530D Hi, if you ordered through the official website you definitely haven't. I know of lots of subscribers that have ordered with no issue. Definitely worth emailing them to confirm the order though. There can be a delay in response so hopefully they should get back to you ASAP, the email hasn't gone into yoir junk or spam folder has it?
I took a screenshot but have had no email or text to confirm the order and they do not respond either WhatsApp FB Messenger FB Profile or email so I’m becoming very suspicious
@Rik530D Thats a good idea good thinking on the screen shot. Im really hoping it's just a delay in communications. I haven't heard of there being any issues before now. Please keep me posted.
@@TheBimmerFixerthat’s then finally made contact and asked me for the delivery address which seems odd considering all my details including shipping and billing where on the order I placed. I’ll keep you updated
@Rik530D Glad they finally got back to you. Yeah, please keep me updated.
