Wow, nice work! Your channel is gold for the f10 drivers💯💯 If you have the basic music stereo it would be awesome a subwoofer tutorial or something! Thank you !
Thanks. I just added HK front speakers and tweeters a few months back. Its better than the stock speakers but thats about it. Looking at a proper b&w with amplifier..... :)
Very good Work ! But If you look into the video at 8:20 after installing the pink connector , In same harness there is also a flat black connector with 4 wirings What is this connector attached to ? Or is it left unused ?
Hi mate. I did this myself, using your video as a guide. Works very well, except for the reverse camera. I guess it is about wiring, but cant figure out what I did wrong. There are 4 wires on the connector, and I tried every combination, but still cant find where to connect camera power and ground. What are the wires for reverse light? Any tips appreciated.
@@NETTNETTCLUBVIDEOs ok i got it because I saw in that aux female already have an auxinput have you take out that one then connect the Android auxoutput? Does your original function still work fine? Thanks a lot I thinking about install one for my car but I don’t really know about it lol
Hi, i have installed the head unit but it seems, it doesn't have any apple carplay neither Android Auto... how do you activate the Android Auto and Apple Carplay?
Wow, you gained yourself a new subscriber, your channel is absolutely brilliant for F10 drivers. My screen has been damaged and now has a permanent orange screen of death, was thinking to buy an android screen like yours and fit. My only question is, are you still able to view the regular iDrive features such as vehicle status, oil level, brake pads replacement, etc... hopefully you get back to me as it's the only think stopping me from buying it. Again awesome video!
@@gib8891 yes I have, installing it was easy until I had to fit the screen unit back into the dashboard, it was probably the hardest part as in my f10 there wasn't much space, but other than that it's perfect, make sure the antenna is where he placed it, I first tried to hide it in the glove compartment but then the GPS didn't work. Hope it helps.
Hi Benny. Is this a plug and play? Do you need to code it? Also does everything else work like usb mp3 & mp4 playback, as same as the original one? Thanks again.
Thanks for the reply. Im thinking of getting one as the pro nav screen in my car has a small blue line from led leak inside the screen. BMW quoted me over £2000 to replace it. I said I think I'll buy an android system & they said ok but it needs to be coded & they will not be able to do it at any bmw if I buy a different system. What a joke!.. £2145 to get it sorted lol. Anyway many thanks for your video 👍🏽
@NETT NETT CLUB I just figured out that my lvds cable are 4pin and the android tv 6pin, so its probably not gonna work properly? Maybe there is some 4pin to 6pin connector?
@@deividas3313 Maybe you have selected your android screen wrongly? 4 pin should be CIC and 6 pin NBT. I'm not sure about this though. Check with the seller who sold you this screen. They'll know better.
Hi David. For sound you will need to look at the aux cable going into the centre armrest. Select external device on idrive. As for your idrive issue, most likely it is a wrong connection somewhere. Please double check.
@@NETTNETTCLUBVIDEOs Hi, thank you for the reply. Everything seems to plugged in where it needs to be. Aux cable is plugged in inside centre armrest. Should I have made a change to the external audio source (aux) before changing the unit?
hello.. i have problem with videos on youtube. on my radio the image is half the screen or less. how can i get a full screen picture? I'm talking about UA-cam. on a couple of videos there is a picture of how it should be, but on most it is not even close. I tried changing the resolution in the settings, but it's only for the home screen, it doesn't affect android.
Hi Jerrys! I got it at around $400 SGD so it should be around RM1200. You can purchase it this link s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A2keWP You might want to check out the 12.3 inch screen too s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AeEyB7
Thanks so much it was very helpful💐💐💐 I installed it as you described except I don't have camera... But when I turn the screen on there is no sound at all even when I play UA-cam!! When I switched it to its original system and turn the radio on the sound was perfect!! Please tell why there is no sound when I play the android screen??!
I cant see the original idrive screen on mine. Says no signal. Any ideas what's wrong? Also the backup camera flickers and only stays on for a few seconds.
Did you plug everything in accordingly? Back camera might be interference. U can try to change to a led reverse light bulb. It worked for me. Check out my led video.
My problem was I ordered CIC when I have NBT. Weird that because my idrive layout isnt like NBT layout. The selected function has a box round it(CIC style) not a filled in colour. If you have an lvds plug that has 6 pins (4 in a round shape and 2 in a rectangle shape) then you have NBT. CIC only has 4 pin lvds cable.
@@tuncaybaran4365 yes everything works now. But the reverse camera still had problems when the NBT replacement came I disconnected the positive that was wired to the reverse light and taped it up and the reverse camera started working properly
Great job - I'm about to install one of these into my F10. Quick question - do I need to install the GPA receiver or does the harness plug into the current SATNAV system already fitted into the car? Cheers!
Thanks Matt. Sorry I'm not sure about that. Mine doesn't have GPS as standard. So when i plug it in, it works. You might want to install it just in case.
I just installed this new android screen without the camera as I don't need it. But the bmw idrive is not working when l try to switch to it. The android is working fine. What am I doing wrong. Please advice
I am planning on the installation myself. Now there is this stand out 12.3” that I am eyeing at. On AliExpress I can get it around rm2k before tax (god knows how much the tax will be). There are workshop who offers the same model with installation + 1 year warranty for RM2.9k. What’s your gut says about it? Mine is a 2011 F10, so it’s also a CIC unit but mine is with bigger screen currently. My current unit already have AUX in my centre console box and with GPS built in, do I still need to install additional GPS antenna like your video?

Hi TheCytostatic. Do check out 3:55 when u connected the cables. I'm sorry I can't remember much as it was so long ago.
Hi bro nice job, I think at the end you put an aux cable to the armrest but where this cable is gonna be connect on the other side ?
Thanks Mcrit. The aux cable connects to the android set female aux input in the wiring harness. Sorry I missed that one. :)

Hello,
How to make the android screen work when stationary, without the ignition on? It turns off when the ignition is off
Hi. It's supposed to work this way. There will be no power with the ignition off.
Thanks Benny - final question! Have you got this to work with Apple CarPlay? I’ve installed it but it doesn’t seem to have a CarPlay option. Thanks 🙏🏻
Does yours have a zlink app? You use that with CarPlay I think.
yes

Hi Benny, quick question - does the in car microphone work with your head unit for phone calls?

Yes mine works with the in car mic :)

I have cic and my bluetooth currently works with my original screen. Do i need to connect the aux cable when installing new android screen?
@lerwicklad116 hi. I think you'll still need it cos that's where the android audio is connected to.
After installation idrive controller and climate controll not working, any ideas?

Hi Clifford. It depends on your ride.
Do we need to use the aux cable and do we need to use the GPS
Hi Vishal. Yes we do. Aux is for the audio coming from the android, GPS is for navigation.
