I actually purchased the head unit. I watched the videos and was able to get everything taken apart but hooking it up was another story. Since I had a lot of questions, I decided to take it to a professional sound shop. They were able to do it in about 2.5 hrs as a first time installer. So far I'm very happy with the outcome. There are a few things that I need to read up and figure out. Bottom line, I'm glad I've brought my 2011 into the 21 century.
Hi Ron, On the comment section it was questioned that in order to move through apps you are gonna be turning idrive dial 10x !? Is there hat correct ? Have you experienced any issue at all using this on your BMW ?
There's a thread on this unit, either spoilstreet or boostaddict; someone mentioned y splitter for GPS, and a review of the newer unit with Android 7 having better sound. Great video
Would LOVE to see how you got the extra cabling shoved out of the way enough to get the radio unit back into dash. Because the size of the interface connector and bundle along with the relatively short length of the interface wiring bundle makes getting the radio back into the dash a NIGHTMARE!
@@lassepedersen3801 I cut my hands up pretty good shoving the interface cabling into the only available space - to the lower left of the radio unit space. But I did get it, and the new display unit works like a charm...except for the fact that it's Android so the Bluetooth connectivity (key to Apple CarPlay functionality) is meh.
@@johnbrewer174 I've tried lower left and right, and it wont fit no matter what, cables have been out the headunit 12-15 times. When trying to fit the glovebox side, cable is too short and cant be lock in the HU, trying right side, i cant get the out of the way as the quadlock is bigger than the gap
To make sound better, you need RCA to aux cable. Attached the RCA cable on Aux out L and Aux out R and run the aux end to your aux port. I just installed it and it sounds just like OEM.
Hi Monte, My screen cables say aux in Left and aux in right with rca also says audio out with Aux cable female. how do I connect the rca cable as you suggested?
Hey man great video I followed your instructions and installed the QB8060CCS into my 2008 bmw 328i the radio and aux are working as well as the screen but the bluetooth and built in audio are not transmitting the audio. Any suggestion?
Nice! I would be keen to see how the mhd gauges look on there. I'm pretty happy with the CCC on my 09 335i, quite a bit newer and higher res than the previous gen. If I could have custom Nav and mhd gauges I would be pretty happy. Interested to see the later Android version
What's the model of this Android based system? There are so many of these units, many don't support the MOST network with CCC and Logic 7. Is there some reason why you don't include product info or specs so I (we) can buy this thing?
1GB RAM - that's the reason for slow app loading and possibly slowness. I wonder if they make 2-4GB RAM models available like they do for other headunits. If not, this is still good upgrade. EDIT: Yes there is 2GB RAM and also 4GB RAM version available with small price difference, but well worth it.
CCC unit here. 2008 335xi e92. 1 Were you able to get the sound you wanted out of the unit? Since there's a SD card slot, can I assume the new headunit is actually playing the music instead of CCC? Can you configure so the AVIN headunit uses the CCC sound system? 2 Were you able to get the steering wheel controls to work with the AVIN?
Very nice! But I’m concerned the music quality is not as good as the sound of my Logic 7 system with my after-market Bavsound speakers along with my Earthquake subs under the seats and amp, especially with a flash drive full of 320K MP3 music files inserted into the USB drive in the arm rest. Any thoughts about how the Logic 7 sound processing compares to the sound being processed by the new Android system???
Okay so if you connect as I've shown here via a Bluetooth adapter then you can screen mirror and for sound connect via 6FL. You'll maintain the sound quality and be able to skip tracks via the stereo controls etc.
Hi, nice video and nice car transformations that you do. Just one question in my bmw 330xd e91 touring 2006 i have a ccc the screen know don't have image but the radio works, if I want to upgrade to android I have to buy also a android ccc correct?
Hi, Thanks so much for this video. Great stuff. Did you ever find a way (or can you reccomend a way) to tap into the cars existing GPS antenna? Cheers.
I have the same android display for my 06 bmw 330i so my mechanic installed the display but no sound the music was playing but no sound. by looking at your video I noticed the aux cable you had needed to be plugged into aux out and ran through the center and plugged into the aux in the armrest. I noticed he didn't do that but I do have a aux in my armrest. It's a new display! We hooked everything but since he rushed it I don't think all the cables are together. Plus my CCC navigation unit has been repaired and coded. Now my sound comes on with the old display but not with the android display I bet it's the aux cord to the armrest. Need help🙏🏼
I accidentally removed the 3 pins that power the fan on the back of the CCC cd unit. I see In Your video when you removed the main quad lock harness you have red tape on them. Are you able to tell me which pins in that 12 pin block the wires are attached to? There is a white data wire then a brown black striped negative and then a red black stripe positive I believe. I forgot to take a picture and now don’t know which to hook them up to. Please help. You can see them just barely at 5:45. Thanks in advance. 🙏🏻
I have videos on my channel installing and using this unit. It was for a CIC system not CCC but no matter. My main complaint about this screen is it has crazy glare. I installed an anti-glare film over top.
Sergiu Ziman how about you either stop watching his videos or shut your pie hole. Dude has helps tons of people work on their cars. Where are your videos?
Sergiu Ziman you’re the one making weak “jokes” on UA-cam then telling me to grow up for commenting that your classless “jokes” could be discouraging. The way you wrote it only seems like criticism not a joke. Get funny before acting like a clown.
Thanks for the video, good information, I have the unit for my BMW E90 form Avin USA I set it up the other day but I am having a major. Issue similar to what you were talking about in your video about the Bluetooth calling. Whenever I receive a call the Bluetooth screen take over the radio and I am locked out from using any other app. Until I end the call, Waze navigation stop moving and stop giving direction. I cannot keep the call going and get any other app on the radio. Same thing happen if I’m using android auto, not the same way you use it off your phone but with a USB CarPlay dongle. if you don’t mind can you please do a test on your unit and see if you are using Waze and receive a call if you’re radio locked up. Can you use any other app while on the call over Bluetooth. And if you had the same issue did you find a solution. Also can you get some more detail information about what app and device you are using to mirror your phone. look forward to your answer thank you
One thing I don't know if you've figured out by now is that when you have android auto on you're suppose to use Google Assist with voice commands to do all your inputs like with Waze or Google Maps. You download Google Assistant to your Android phone then all you have to do is speak "hey google"...
@@keithwright4219 I'm not in the mob not planning a bank heist. So I really don't care about being listened to. However, Google assist is only triggered to listen by the words, "hey google"
Did you ever have a problem playing music from your phone to the car on bluetooth my music plays on my phone as it should and shows me on the screen its playing ok but there isn't any music coming out on the speakers
How do you get the new cable harness so that it doesn't get in the way with the DVD module? It hits me with the new cable, and I can't get the module to fit. do you leave it in a hole? I'm desperate!☹️😝
Hello.. this is a sick video. I have 2008 BMW 535xi and my screen don't turn on. Took it to the mechanic and they charged me $3,000 to get a new screen and to fix. Is there any place where I get this product for my BMW? Please help the brother out
How is this upgrade today? Seems like a real good upgrade. I have a iPhone phone so I can’t use the mdh stuff. This would be my way to use it. Also looking for like a “idrive setup” does it connect Bluetooth as soon as you get in the car? Do the wheel functions still work? Can you play music via Bluetooth.
Hi, first of all very informative video DIY.I am writing from an old e91 2007 330xd.I need to be sure, before got your side, few things.Firt, once retro camera installed, it is allowed to switch on once R gear engaged?
Thanks for your reply.Then I can assume to get everything working, only I need are the display unit and a normal rear camera, instead of, like others diy retrofit rear camera bmw e90, where we need an emulatror for the ccc unit even? I found very helpful and well made your video.Just a detail I missed, can you write with the joistich iDrive on android.? Thanks again.
is it possible to start the car always with an android instead of the original BMW system? or do I have to hold the menu button for 3 seconds each time? Thanks!
Cool, always nice to see your videos. I'm interested in purchasing one. Please help. How is it working out for you. I love my Android and this would be a perfect match
Hi, i installed the same, but when i'm in the android mode, the iDrive controller keeps some kind of brake, in the old ccc menu it rotates normally. Any sugestions? Thanks.
Did you connect the camera? If yes did you use the 12v provided by the head unit (there is a cable on mine saying 12v camera). Also there is a pink cable, which says camera sensing or something like that..
Hello, i got the android 10 gps for my bmw e87 from 2007 with CCC. I installed the gps everything works but when i throw it in reverse i have to go on MY BMW for seeing my parking sensors on my screen. Do you know how i get automaticly on my screen? Nice video btw helped a friend out with your video! Recommend it
Nice video, I have the same in my E61. But I have issues using wifi. Sometimes it works over iPhone tethering. Home wifi does not work. Also it does not automatically swicht to aux, although set for that. How did you get around that?
I did a factory reset and things seem more stable now. It's important to disable some automatic android updates in the play store I found out. Home wifi still slow, but tethering reasonable. Very annoying is that I first need to touch into the settings before wifi works at all. Will a USB wifi dongle bring any luck? Automatically aux switching still not working
@@ktinus hey is this unit able to do split screen? You have to select the option after you become a developer (click i think 8 times on a build number). Mine is unstable despite it being 8.1 android. Also when I am in satnaw and someone calls the screen immediately changes to bt call and can't bw reversed to satnav, no matter what you press. Is your doing the same? Btw whoever though of that was a pure genius (my unit is from astrowind and its going back tomorrow as i can't have something so stupidly programmed in my proximity no matter how shiny it looks)..nkw seriously after a week it stopped displaying reversing camera and senzora and the sound was crackling real bad so....it's old same China hit and miss...
Peter Yuhas well I don't know if that's possible. Although it's a shiny device the usability of it is nearly zero. On sunny days the screen is unreadable and reflecting too much. And, it's android so laggy a.f. Wifi still is troublesome by the way. When it works, I sometimes put on UA-cam for the kids in the rear. Gps is a disaster, it's always a few hundred meters off. I now only use apple carplay which works pretty well and fluid. You do need to buy the proper usb dongle for that (plenty of them on alie)
It jumps from aux to radio, it's neve the same, keeps surprising me every time with little mischief. This unit us a true entertainment system :D. I am sending it back though. Had enough..will buy from a different manufacturer. I've used antiglare and stopped using my angel eyes as dlr lights...the unit dims as soon you put those angels on...
When the car is ignited the audio from TV transfers to audio from radio , same goes with Bluetooth and videos. But if car is not ignited there is no problem.
I been watching all your diy videos thanks to your videos i could change my oil transmission I also cleaned my intake valves from 2008 335i e90 I have 2 new projects to replace my oil pan gasket and my ccc monitor ,,,,,,,, but I need help my car does crank ,won’t start ....i replaced the 2 battery cables help any ideas ? Or what to look for ...thank you I know this is a different topic but I need help
i just purchased a used 335i and it has this exact same android auto interface, i can bounce back and forth between idrive and this..... its pretty annoying considering i have an iphone... and it always interupts my bluetooth, its useless to me. I saw some other videos of aftermarket systems similar to this one but they can use android auto and apple car play , do u know if this one has apple car play as well?
Very nice video. It helped me install my device but I have one problem. It does't work to switch over "Menu Button" long press "3s", only tap on the screen "Car-info". Do you know where the problem might be?
Great diy video brother!!! Hate to go off topic but would your opinions on going either pure stage 2 hi flow turbos 600-700 whp or single turbo 6246 precision? Car would be somewhat daily driven 3-4 times a week and very limited drag racing
@@VehicularDIY you read my mine completely. I love this accessibility of a single but since I'm not racing much. I think the twins would be reliable enough to not worry to much about that. Would you opt to go with pure dd turbos or the high flow ones? Thanks so much for your reply!!!!
tried to install my screen and RIP i need the damn aux cable between the harness and the armrest, thank you bmw for making me be able to talk with my phone with bluetooth but i can only use aux for audio damnit
Hi there love ur videos manual trans build is suck i have question my back up camera just start working it say no signal but everything is showing but actual video picture any suggestions thx
Hey bro I gotta question did you figure out how to get the sound quality good? & you think If I got this android screen & put subwoofers in I would have no problem? Like is it the vocals that get effected or jus the bass? Thanks bro great video
@Vehicular DIY, thanks for this great video, much appreciated! so just to understand well, the Android part of the tablet is comunicating via the old Navigation's Audio IN? I am asking this because I am concerned about the audio quality that you mentioned. Have you found a fix for it? If I want to listen to MP3s or Radio on the old CCC part, sound quality is unaffected, right?
Thanks, yes it feeds a signal into the Aux in on the CCC. My fix is I'm using a Bluetooth streamer right from my phone and not using the audio out on the device. I am using the screen mirroring function and the stand alone Android auto app on my cell phone most of the time so audio quality is maintained.
I haven't done this but I have the problem with my subwoofers deactivating in the middle of a song and the only way to kick them back on is to crank my volume to max until the bass comes back.
Great video, thank you. Have you been having any issues with yours? Mine tends to crash occasionally, also often plays tv audio or MP3 audio from original CCC system when Android system boots up - so frustrating!! The biggest issue is everytime I press the M Button (sports mode) it boots me out of the Android system back to CCC!! Whole purchase and install has cost me a small fortune, I'm so disappointed and frustrated. Any advice/comment you may have would be most appreciated..
@@Heivark Nope, just as bad as when first installed. The 4x4 Shop in Canada sells and installs these systems, they say that Android 7.1 has overheating issues and firmware bugs, but that the newer 8.1 system is really solid. Considering buying an 8.1 system and sending this one back to China, but the total cost will just be astronomical... I just don't know what to do..
@@nickybomz i didnt even know there was a version that had 8.1. But if it's going to be worth it and would be less hassle without all of the bugs and stuff, i guess it would be a good choice to replace it with the latest one. I was planning to get the version with 7.1 but I guess I'll have to wait. Thanks for the reply!
@@Heivark Well the 4x4Shop in Canada already have stock if you want to get one. I am not sure if it would be much better, but their website suggests that they will not even sell the 7.1 version due to issues with the units/firmware..
Hi nice video, I installed it too. But I cann't select the AUX anymore, although I connected the AUX-out from the harness to my aux contact in the mid console.
I'm hoping you can help me, I have this unit installed in my BMW, my friend tried to hook his phone up to my system, pressed a couple of times in the menu section, and now all I have is FM radio! also when originally hooked up the ccc interface just gave me a purple screen, so I cannot reset back to the new android head. any advice would be appreciated!
You probably already know this, but just as a contribution to the collective readership - it could be your Bluetooth receiver or your phone that is causing your lackluster lows. Most current Bluetooth codecs are pretty poor at dealing with high fidelity sound, so unless you're using a receiver with aptX or similar (along with a phone that supports it), you would be better off just using the aux in.
I’m wondering how responsive those gauges are and if it can load the mhd gauges with no issues. That’s what I’m super interested in. I’m very skeptical of flashing the dme through the head unit. The audio is kind of a bummer.
Hi, never done this before so please bare with me.....I’ve received a ccc Android replacement unit for an 08 335i convertible from China...when I connect the new harness into the back of the cars GPS unit, I can’t get the unit to go back in because of the extra wiring at the back, I’ve tried every way stripping the skin off the top of my hands every time but can’t get the GPS unit back in fully to attach with the four Philips screws. I’ve viewed just about every install video out there but they seem to miraculously skip over this part and seem to slide the unit back in without problem. Any thoughts, tips, prior install experience or general help with this will be greatly appreciated.
Hi there, just wondering if you can help me out! I fitted an android unit and then installed a reversing camera, all connected but doesn't come up on screen, any advice would be appreciated
You mentioned that you have your default navigation to be WAZE. My default is on an sd card and it is some gps system which came with the android. How do I replace the gps system that came with the android to WAZE? Thank you
Can you please advise who designed this head unit? Coz I'm seeing various different manufacturer names on eBay with the same headunit photo on the listings?!?
Great video man love it ! I just bought a witson andoid 7.1 for my 07 530xd lci with CCC, and for some reason the idrive knob doesn't work properly on the new interface, when i switch it to the old one it works fine like always, and one more the thing, when i switch to the old interface the screen is stretched out any ideas how i can fix those problems, thanks in advance! Greetings from Bulgaria.
Glad you found it helpful! You have to go into the settings for the device and choose the car type. You go to settings, then factory setup and enter in code 1314. You'll find the section to define what type of idrive controller you have and the section to define the screen type you have.
any way to tie in a 360 degree birds eye/stitched camera system? these are much better that the original/older versions, I wonder if they have a m3 version yet, there’s a slight difference that made it not fit perfectly
Im thinking about this but my car doesnt have oem camera and wonder how can you install it to work with this android based head unit. Also is it work with an (orm) head-up-display? Also my car only have an aux at the back seats and doesnt have any usb slot. (E60 with big navi, ccc)
the sound quality on mine is awesome. but the stock sound system on my m5 was amazing already. worst on mine is the screen brightness is pretty dim in daytime.
i have an aftermarket headunit from BRENNAN i cant get the sound to work the screen works great , if the ccc navigation and dvd box isnt working will this prevent the sound ffrom working?

With Andream unit, you do not have to feed the aux cable from centre console, it connects to AUX from behind the head unit.
How do you get the new cable harness so that it doesn't get in the way with the DVD module? It hits me with the new cable, and I can't get the module to fit. do you leave it in a hole? I'm desperate!☹️😝
Hello.. this is a sick video. I have 2008 BMW 535xi and my screen don't turn on. Took it to the mechanic and they charged me $3,000 to get a new screen and to fix. Is there any place where I get this product for my BMW? Please help the brother out
How is this upgrade today? Seems like a real good upgrade. I have a iPhone phone so I can’t use the mdh stuff. This would be my way to use it.
Also looking for like a “idrive setup” does it connect Bluetooth as soon as you get in the car? Do the wheel functions still work? Can you play music via Bluetooth.
Yes it automatically connects via bluetooth, steering wheel functions work yes and yeah it can bluetooth stream and support calls etc.
Doesn't work with MHD. Something happens powerwise to the idrive while flashing mhd that makes it fail
How did u change the instrument cluster to white? Good review also, I just bought 1
Hi, first of all very informative video DIY.I am writing from an old e91 2007 330xd.I need to be sure, before got your side, few things.Firt, once retro camera installed, it is allowed to switch on once R gear engaged?
Thanks, yes that happens automatically.
Thanks for your reply.Then I can assume to get everything working, only I need are the display unit and a normal rear camera, instead of, like others diy retrofit rear camera bmw e90, where we need an emulatror for the ccc unit even? I found very helpful and well made your video.Just a detail I missed, can you write with the joistich iDrive on android.?
Thanks again.
If you wire your camera to the reverse light
Another great video. Do you have a link to where I can buy one for my e60 535i?
is it possible to start the car always with an android instead of the original BMW system? or do I have to hold the menu button for 3 seconds each time? Thanks!
This would be really interesting!
And also.. How long would it actually take to boot up?
Cool, always nice to see your videos. I'm interested in purchasing one. Please help. How is it working out for you. I love my Android and this would be a perfect match
Hi. Another cool how 2! Keep up the good work.
Hi, i installed the same, but when i'm in the android mode, the iDrive controller keeps some kind of brake, in the old ccc menu it rotates normally. Any sugestions? Thanks.
Great video 👍. Do you get the warnings chime and display on the Android system or do you have to be on the original car system.
Have you a link for this item please ?
Did you connect the camera? If yes did you use the 12v provided by the head unit (there is a cable on mine saying 12v camera). Also there is a pink cable, which says camera sensing or something like that..
I pho sho be buying one, thanks again for the videos!
Hello, i got the android 10 gps for my bmw e87 from 2007 with CCC. I installed the gps everything works but when i throw it in reverse i have to go on MY BMW for seeing my parking sensors on my screen. Do you know how i get automaticly on my screen? Nice video btw helped a friend out with your video! Recommend it
Nice video, I have the same in my E61. But I have issues using wifi. Sometimes it works over iPhone tethering. Home wifi does not work. Also it does not automatically swicht to aux, although set for that. How did you get around that?
Thanks, so you have issues connecting to home wifi? I've noticed that it can take some time to connect but if you wait long enough when it will.
I did a factory reset and things seem more stable now. It's important to disable some automatic android updates in the play store I found out. Home wifi still slow, but tethering reasonable. Very annoying is that I first need to touch into the settings before wifi works at all.
Will a USB wifi dongle bring any luck? Automatically aux switching still not working
@@ktinus hey is this unit able to do split screen? You have to select the option after you become a developer (click i think 8 times on a build number). Mine is unstable despite it being 8.1 android. Also when I am in satnaw and someone calls the screen immediately changes to bt call and can't bw reversed to satnav, no matter what you press. Is your doing the same? Btw whoever though of that was a pure genius (my unit is from astrowind and its going back tomorrow as i can't have something so stupidly programmed in my proximity no matter how shiny it looks)..nkw seriously after a week it stopped displaying reversing camera and senzora and the sound was crackling real bad so....it's old same China hit and miss...
Peter Yuhas well I don't know if that's possible. Although it's a shiny device the usability of it is nearly zero. On sunny days the screen is unreadable and reflecting too much. And, it's android so laggy a.f. Wifi still is troublesome by the way. When it works, I sometimes put on UA-cam for the kids in the rear. Gps is a disaster, it's always a few hundred meters off.
I now only use apple carplay which works pretty well and fluid. You do need to buy the proper usb dongle for that (plenty of them on alie)
It jumps from aux to radio, it's neve the same, keeps surprising me every time with little mischief. This unit us a true entertainment system :D. I am sending it back though. Had enough..will buy from a different manufacturer. I've used antiglare and stopped using my angel eyes as dlr lights...the unit dims as soon you put those angels on...
you mention there is an app you have to download in order for the phone to connect, which app is it?
When the car is ignited the audio from TV transfers to audio from radio , same goes with Bluetooth and videos. But if car is not ignited there is no problem.
How is the builtin mic? Would have loved to use the original one since it is so clear. Hope this one is as good
That USB mirror link is awesome, but 1 question. Is it an MHL cable or just normal USB to micro USB connection?
normal usb
I been watching all your diy videos thanks to your videos i could change my oil transmission I also cleaned my intake valves from 2008 335i e90 I have 2 new projects to replace my oil pan gasket and my ccc monitor ,,,,,,,, but I need help my car does crank ,won’t start ....i replaced the 2 battery cables help any ideas ? Or what to look for ...thank you I know this is a different topic but I need help
i just purchased a used 335i and it has this exact same android auto interface, i can bounce back and forth between idrive and this..... its pretty annoying considering i have an iphone... and it always interupts my bluetooth, its useless to me. I saw some other videos of aftermarket systems similar to this one but they can use android auto and apple car play , do u know if this one has apple car play as well?
Very nice video. It helped me install my device but I have one problem. It does't work to switch over "Menu Button" long press "3s", only tap on the screen "Car-info". Do you know where the problem might be?
i installed a unit like this in my E60 M5. man what a bitch to install for my first time.
This is too cool love this !
Great diy video brother!!! Hate to go off topic but would your opinions on going either pure stage 2 hi flow turbos 600-700 whp or single turbo 6246 precision? Car would be somewhat daily driven 3-4 times a week and very limited drag racing
Thanks! Haha np, for a daily I'd consider the upgraded twins to maintain the low end torque that makes this car fun to drive.
@@VehicularDIY you read my mine completely. I love this accessibility of a single but since I'm not racing much. I think the twins would be reliable enough to not worry to much about that. Would you opt to go with pure dd turbos or the high flow ones? Thanks so much for your reply!!!!
tried to install my screen and RIP i need the damn aux cable between the harness and the armrest, thank you bmw for making me be able to talk with my phone with bluetooth but i can only use aux for audio damnit
Impulsive Lifestyle right? It’s stupid imo I can connect easily to the bluetooth but can’t put music from it...why? lol
@@jonathan169835 you ever get an answer to this? Bc I'm having the same issue
Terrence Sharp nah man you’ll probably have to use the aux or change the head unit at some point into something that let’s you use Bluetooth for audio
Hi there love ur videos manual trans build is suck i have question my back up camera just start working it say no signal but everything is showing but actual video picture any suggestions thx
Hey bro I gotta question did you figure out how to get the sound quality good? & you think If I got this android screen & put subwoofers in I would have no problem? Like is it the vocals that get effected or jus the bass? Thanks bro great video
@Vehicular DIY, thanks for this great video, much appreciated! so just to understand well, the Android part of the tablet is comunicating via the old Navigation's Audio IN? I am asking this because I am concerned about the audio quality that you mentioned. Have you found a fix for it? If I want to listen to MP3s or Radio on the old CCC part, sound quality is unaffected, right?
Thanks, yes it feeds a signal into the Aux in on the CCC. My fix is I'm using a Bluetooth streamer right from my phone and not using the audio out on the device. I am using the screen mirroring function and the stand alone Android auto app on my cell phone most of the time so audio quality is maintained.
So I just upgraded to a new version with Android 7.1 and it has solved the audio issue. A video is coming out soon.
I haven't done this but I have the problem with my subwoofers deactivating in the middle of a song and the only way to kick them back on is to crank my volume to max until the bass comes back.
How is this unit different from navifly? Can you chage the skin? The EVO Navifly UI looks better IMO.
Great video, thank you. Have you been having any issues with yours? Mine tends to crash occasionally, also often plays tv audio or MP3 audio from original CCC system when Android system boots up - so frustrating!! The biggest issue is everytime I press the M Button (sports mode) it boots me out of the Android system back to CCC!! Whole purchase and install has cost me a small fortune, I'm so disappointed and frustrated. Any advice/comment you may have would be most appreciated..
How is it holding up now? Have you fixed the error?
@@Heivark Nope, just as bad as when first installed. The 4x4 Shop in Canada sells and installs these systems, they say that Android 7.1 has overheating issues and firmware bugs, but that the newer 8.1 system is really solid. Considering buying an 8.1 system and sending this one back to China, but the total cost will just be astronomical... I just don't know what to do..
@@nickybomz i didnt even know there was a version that had 8.1. But if it's going to be worth it and would be less hassle without all of the bugs and stuff, i guess it would be a good choice to replace it with the latest one.
I was planning to get the version with 7.1 but I guess I'll have to wait.
Thanks for the reply!
@@Heivark Well the 4x4Shop in Canada already have stock if you want to get one. I am not sure if it would be much better, but their website suggests that they will not even sell the 7.1 version due to issues with the units/firmware..
Hi nice video, I installed it too. But I cann't select the AUX anymore, although I connected the AUX-out from the harness to my aux contact in the mid console.
My CCC is shot if i order this will it fix it or do i still have to replace my CCC before ordering this?
Did you get one? How do you like it? My CCC is shot too
@@maliknexus im in the same boat lol, did it work for you ?
did that end up working for you, mines dead as well
CCC hast to work to use this!
this is awesome bro could you chuck a link up of where to buy??
Hey check the comments, I posted a link.
You have given this reply several time but I have yet to find this link you refer to.

@@ItsAyyden do you need to connect this unit with the aux in of the car?
I'm hoping you can help me, I have this unit installed in my BMW, my friend tried to hook his phone up to my system, pressed a couple of times in the menu section, and now all I have is FM radio! also when originally hooked up the ccc interface just gave me a purple screen, so I cannot reset back to the new android head. any advice would be appreciated!
You probably already know this, but just as a contribution to the collective readership - it could be your Bluetooth receiver or your phone that is causing your lackluster lows. Most current Bluetooth codecs are pretty poor at dealing with high fidelity sound, so unless you're using a receiver with aptX or similar (along with a phone that supports it), you would be better off just using the aux in.
Did you ever end up working out a reduced rate deal with the manufacture?
I’m wondering how responsive those gauges are and if it can load the mhd gauges with no issues. That’s what I’m super interested in. I’m very skeptical of flashing the dme through the head unit. The audio is kind of a bummer.
Hey, for your standard Bluetooth audio, how is it plugged in? All I have is the lighter and aux, no USB
Yay video love it no outlet update yet ❤❤
Do you need to push the button for 3 seconds every time you start the car ? or does it load up directly to the android system.
Hi, never done this before so please bare with me.....I’ve received a ccc Android replacement unit for an 08 335i convertible from China...when I connect the new harness into the back of the cars GPS unit, I can’t get the unit to go back in because of the extra wiring at the back, I’ve tried every way stripping the skin off the top of my hands every time but can’t get the GPS unit back in fully to attach with the four Philips screws. I’ve viewed just about every install video out there but they seem to miraculously skip over this part and seem to slide the unit back in without problem. Any thoughts, tips, prior install experience or general help with this will be greatly appreciated.
How much memory does it have? Thanks will it do apple CarPlay?
What are your thoughts after having this for a while? Any major likes/dislikes? Considering this for my E61 535...
Hi there, just wondering if you can help me out! I fitted an android unit and then installed a reversing camera, all connected but doesn't come up on screen, any advice would be appreciated
You mentioned that you have your default navigation to be WAZE. My default is on an sd card and it is some gps system which came with the android. How do I replace the gps system that came with the android to WAZE?
Thank you
Could i put that in a 2007 bmw 328i?
And how much for the parts
Can you please advise who designed this head unit? Coz I'm seeing various different manufacturer names on eBay with the same headunit photo on the listings?!?

17:52 min that bluetooth receiver-transmitter?!? Video resolution (480p-720p esc....)?!? Good job bro and great video...
Great video man love it ! I just bought a witson andoid 7.1 for my 07 530xd lci with CCC, and for some reason the idrive knob doesn't work properly on the new interface, when i switch it to the old one it works fine like always, and one more the thing, when i switch to the old interface the screen is stretched out any ideas how i can fix those problems, thanks in advance! Greetings from Bulgaria.
Glad you found it helpful! You have to go into the settings for the device and choose the car type. You go to settings, then factory setup and enter in code 1314. You'll find the section to define what type of idrive controller you have and the section to define the screen type you have.
Vehicular DIY yup, I researched it and found the same thing, the android works perfectly fine now thanks.
Great video 👍🏼 keep it up
This is awesome looks great
any way to tie in a 360 degree birds eye/stitched camera system? these are much better that the original/older versions, I wonder if they have a m3 version yet, there’s a slight difference that made it not fit perfectly
this fit M3: bit.ly/2JdHxL1
I know this video is old but did you ever get the units in stock for purchase?
Im thinking about this but my car doesnt have oem camera and wonder how can you install it to work with this android based head unit. Also is it work with an (orm) head-up-display? Also my car only have an aux at the back seats and doesnt have any usb slot. (E60 with big navi, ccc)
Thank you was thinking bout getting one of these. Navifly or Avin?
Bought directly from overseas, check the comments I responded to someones questions about where to find it.
I look at other CCC upgraded units and for some odd reason the OEM display is zoomed in I want a unit that shows it perfectly like this
the sound quality on mine is awesome. but the stock sound system on my m5 was amazing already. worst on mine is the screen brightness is pretty dim in daytime.
I have a newer module now that runs Android 7.0 and they fixed the sound quality issue but I haven't had a chance to upload a video on that yet.
@@VehicularDIY can you please post the link of the new module here?
How is the sound quality? Any difference between Bluetooth streaming and playing from an app?
i have an aftermarket headunit from BRENNAN i cant get the sound to work the screen works great , if the ccc navigation and dvd box isnt working will this prevent the sound ffrom working?
