Why not show how to remove it?
You should have done a sound check without the exhaust to see what it sounded like 'Jus for fun'
Ya know....now that you mention it....I am rather disappointed in myself for not thinking of it at the time! DANG IT! lol
Hi there after all this time are you satisfied with the product I am thinking of getting one. Thank you.
@@davidwoods607 Hi David! It works fine yes. Its a good price on Amazon. Im sure there are better ones out there but its good enough for occasional use for sure.
Thanks!
@@diamond4015 Thank you so much for the thanx really appreciate that!!!!! :)
BTW the battery wire under the seat is not plugged on mine also so I guess it's normal lol
thanks great review, just a question what type pf batteries did you put in, you mention 10 hours and ten and half hour batteries, that unit should be came with 2 sets of 6Ah batteries, probably you means 10Ah. so if you use the original 6ah you probably be run out of power. and the last question why the use of both batteries are not equal, in the video one show used 2 segments and the other-one used 3 segments of power. Thanks in advance
Sure! I ran 2x 10AH batteries because that's what I had handy at the time. They came with my snowblower. I bought the pressure washer without batteries or charger (toolless). I think one of the batteries was not on the charger so it had a little less charge in it from running a leaf blower I am testing out right now as well. The run times I quoted were from their manual.
Thanks for taking the time to do such a great review! 🥰 Great video!!
Thank you! I am loving the Quickjacks!
Thanks Man! First off, congrats owning a legendary BMW M5! Secondarily, Thanks for quite a detailed manual, I did follow it mostly and succeeded altho I'd like to add something to the person which is to follow: 1. When this mr mention something about AUX cable routing, etc, you don't really need to do that EXCEPT you would like to be able to still play music thru AUX which I do not understand and accept, for me it was about connecting AUX in and AUX out cables that were on multimedia supplied harness and is all, music now plays THRU CARPLAY, actually the only feature I would ever need in a car multimedia (except checking oil level) honestly, ONE THING. 2. Don't be afraid that your fancy DSP music would stop working or would have any negative affect on it, it still plays at the same quality for my Individual sound (best out the best in bmw e60) 3. For CCC depending on unit version main idrive knob can work partially, as I said I only needed carplay 4. steering Wheel buttons will be functioning with the new multimedia just fine (m wheel) 5. Aftermarker camera stopped working so unless your car had a camera from a factory, most likely, it will stop working
PS. You will defo experience more battery drain, PSS. I got that same stuff performed on my X6 e71 and it works fine for 3rd year, 4 seasons in my country
Great points you added here, thank you! :)
@@ampsandoctane =) aftermarket cam is alive, it was a setting in "personalisation" I believe, something on " car rear ", had to select "factory camera"
😮
we were shocked too Ethan lol
Audio quality is excellent with the microphones!
Thanx Matt!!!
Great review video! Now I want one! Can’t wait to see the exhaust install
Thanx Ben!!
What software did you use on your laptop , please
its called INPA. Its an older BMW factory software. You should be able to get it online easily enough. Bimmergeeks I believe hosts a "basic tools" download and its part of that package.
I would prefer to see the test at 100 PSI, to test the sealing of the equipment itself (hoses, connections, etc.) to see if it can withstand this pressure without leaking.
I am leaning towards to 100PSI gauge method myself. I get this one may be "safer" and less likely to turn over an engine due to pressurizing the cylinder, but there are ways around all that if you know what you are doing. I think if you are hobby guy that just wants a safe basic test, its ok. If you are around engines professionally, you probably want the 100PSI gauge method.
How do you check the service and engine oil level in this screen??
You just hold down the Menu button on idrive on the cernter console and the screen toggles back to thw original BMW system. Same steps to toggle back to Android.
Good review, thanks!
You're welcome! I've used it a couple of times now and it is fast becoming my favorite tool! My gas pressure washer is for sale.....lol
I love the sign!!
Thanx Jeff! :)
@ampsandoctane was wondering when you were going to do another video
@@jakonkal Its been a chore to work in the winter. We got a Hybrid Plugin EV, and it claimed half my garage over the winter. lol. So should be back to normal here now. :)
Love the vids. Always enjoy them. I was wondering about the CL if you are still working on that. I have a CL500. Thank you for the great work
Thank you! Appreciate that very much! Yes, she is still.with us. There are some title issues I am sorting through so have embedded dumping loads into the money bucket ...for now...but we will be detailing and paint correcting on that car in the near future for sure! Sorry about the lack of CL content as of late.
@@ampsandoctane thank you and not a problem I enjoy all the projects that’s your working on and being in the uk our weather is similar. Take care and thank you 🤩
Awesome thanks quick question were you able to sort out the wrong door showing open?
Have a look at 20:12. There is a BMW settings menu where you can change the door switch polarity (like if your door shows open when its actually closed or vice versa).
I ended up snagging a wireless transmitter for my backup camera in my E60. Still haven't installed the head unit and backup camera though. I guess we'll see how good it works.
Interesting! Let us know how it works out, and how the picture is!
I just installed my unit and I have no audio and I can't revert back to my original idrive 😢
i think you need to have the aux cable connected to the car if you dont!
For audio yes, all audio for the android unit is through the AUX cable to the stock sound system. Stock system has to be set to AUX input
where can i buy android power cable(android power harness)?
Great upgrade - we install the same screens over here in the UK!
Hi you have to have the ECU to clone the EIS for functioning keys
GREAT !!!
Thanx Julio :)
Yay! My favorite subaru engine! 😂

When I dont have aux cable and I User fm Transmitter ghet die Audio auch?
NEIN! ;) Audio from the android deck comes into the stock stereo via AUX cable. FM transmitter would give you audio from a phone or ipad via the tuner in the stock stereo though.
Greetings from the UK. Thanks for the video. Fitted mine, works fine apart from while driving it sometimes is activated. Any help greatly appreciated.
My idrive knob or idrive menu does not work at all why? I cant find factory settings or anything else.
the oil looked a bit green to me.....eeeewwww and you said nipple!!!!Twice!!
Yeah, and runny, I suspect that little bit of driving probably did blow some antifreeze into the oil. Nipple Nipple! (x4 now!!!!) ;)
Nice upgrade to modernise the car - we also fit these upgrades over here in the UK!
yeah its a great way to get updated navigation and MP3 cabability as well as bluetooth handsfree all in 1 shot. And you dont lose original functionality either! win-win!!!
So you choose to open the petcock beside the nipple?
Its not really a petcock its more of a screw type plunger. You are supposed to be able to unscrew it partway and the fluid comes out the little nipple (tube). Mine was plugged with dirt and before anything came out there I had unscrewed the whole plunger. Oh well, it worked, it was just a little messy. ;)
Just sharing an experience - just finished installing. in all, it took me about 3 1/2 hrs. most of that was because of routing of the backup camera - also not knowing how hard to pull / pry the molding out. straight forward, but a pain in the toosh. the head unit itself, I think now that i know what is involved, that part literally could be about 30 min or less. 1) these videos were absolutely helpful. there is very little to no documentation but fortunately, it is relatively straight forward. 2) routing of the backup camera is a extreme pain in the butt. before making the connection for the wire going to the front, I was more successful pulling it from the back seat into the trunk. getting the large rca connector seem to get stuck on something. in my particular version, you need to hook the red wire to the p-com label'ed wire. don't ask me why but the labels on the wires was a little screwy. 3) definitely test out whether you need the aux wire or not. i cannot be sure but if you don't need it, and you plug it in anyways, the head unit will get confused. what was happening was that it was connecting and getting music through bluetooth but then all of a sudden, it would stop working. it was not a lose connection because I could reproduce this. once I unplugged the aux cable, everything worked just fine. VERY weird 4) some people talked about sleep mode. I decided to just turn it to "off". otherwise, you run the risk of when you car is turned off, that it is still draining the battery. I was seeing that my car time kept getting reset. once i turned this to off, everything started to work proper. I could be wrong - it did take me 3 1/2 hrs for the install and I DID disconnect the battery for part but not all of the install. The side effect of this is that the unit will start up from the beginning every time to shut your car down. it may be early days but it SEEMS like it got better (faster) as time went on. 5) you may need to reset the computer once you reattach the battery. you just hold the trip button for 5+ seconds or until the display changes. that may have also been what was causing #4 but combined, the issue was resolved. 6) i did do a system reset to make sure that everything was clean with the install. 7) carplay is absolutely cool. Works very well. 8) if you hit any of the stereo buttons, it will move off of aux. you can either go into the old unit interface (from the new head unit) or hit the "mode" button a few times. for the US, the sequence is FM, AM, WB, Aux hope this helps others.
Great feedback!!!!! Thanx for the additional tips!!! Hope it helps others as well!!!
Some peoples say you need cable aux and some said you dont need. I have orginal aux menu already. I dont know from what it depends. I ordered my head unit and i will try while i install. On another video peoples instal unit with no aux cable and they say its plug and play you dont need. My BMW 2008 ccc unit.
Liked your dukes of Hazzard entry into the car LOL
hahaa thanx! Glad Im still skinny enough to pull that off!!! (barely)

Hi bro, I also got the CCC android unit. Now I used this about 6 years. But some times this device will steal power and cause the car's system to display a power leakage. Over time, the system will overheat(CCC android unit), leading to a crash, resulting in the screen becoming unresponsive.
Really???? It sounds like its not going to sleep properly. I wonder if you got a defective unit?!?!
I have installed CCC Android in my BMW 520i series, all the conic, but the sound doesn't come out, why?
You connected the AUX cable to the BMW stereo also? It needs that for sound. You have to ensure you have AUX function coded to enable it in the car also.
How do you connect the usb wire to harness
Mate where does the usb wire go I need to update my Bluetooth module with software downloaded onto usb stick and I never put the usb wire onto the harness when I installed everything else and I can’t find out where it goes
Where can I buy one? I'm in the UK
I bought mine from Aliexpress here: ae01.alicdn.com/kf/Sd5103abc4541431e89e5a8f3d9f57bdeh/Wireless-Apple-CarPlay-Android-13-Auto-Car-Multimedia-For-BMW-5-3-Series-E60-E61-E62.jpg (CCC 8Core8G128G version)
Did anyone have sound issues? I get music coming out driver speaker only
I would check the pinout on the AUX cable to the connector. Mine was actually pinned incorrectly from the seller on Amazon! I had to move a pin!!! Id bet thats your issue.
You have to get out more…trucks have evolved years ago…heated seats, steering wheels, power sliding rear windows and so much more….
haha...you are probably not wrong Marty ;)
Your CCC system was fully functional before starting this? Mine is broken and was wondering could I just replace it with this to get music playing.
Mine was fully functional yes. I safely wrapped up the old screen in case I want to revert back in the future. I believe if your screen itself is bad you will be ok to swap to android, but not if the CCC system itself is bad. The android head units all piggyback onto the CCC, meaning they use the AUX input and sound through the CCC.
Thanks for your videos. I'm installing a similar no-name Chinese unit in my 07 e64 and have stalled at the backup camera. What color is the reverse wire you tapped into? And where did you connect to it - near the bulb connector or closer to the front of the car? Thanks for any light you can shed.
those brake rotors look brand new
great! We replaced them in this video ;) Im sure you meant the calipers? Or the overall assembly? Either way, thanx for watching we appreciate it!
