Those cables you bypassed in the trunk are the Can-Bus system to the amplifier (can-bus system is used for audio, video, and display info using cool red lasers). It runs in series and if one module is down, the whole communication is down and it scares the others. Bypassing the Bus system closes that break and brings the talking group back together!
the round speaker is for your parking sensors up front if you have them or want to install them after. and you can put ur gps in ur dash on top upside down, will work perfectly fine. and also the wifi antenne can be put behind the radio.. you can use ur phone hotspot to use internet on the radio
Find the aux pins on the harness and tap into it, you might need to cut an earth as well, this is on the new harness side then you can not worry about the aux plug and not touch the factory side. Find the factory aux lines in a wiring diagram. I did this on an aftermaket install from an different supplier for a different car to get rid of that silly exetention to aux plug that all after market suppliers use.
Man said so I don’t keep you guys gm here too long like I ain’t about to watch all his videos after this, best TH-camr out there man🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ I like nour, but vehicle virals does it the best!
amazing that these things have messaging, whatsapp, youtube and google on board. Exactly what one needs for safe driving and totally not be distracted. Jokes aside: great and informative video!
You got it brother !!!! I already installed both in my 335 and Tacoma Truck. Keep the upgrades going and the videos coming. I really enjoy your videos 👍👍. Anytime you feel like freezing your butt off come northbound to Canada and we'll do Cayuga Raceways quarter mile track together. Cheers !
Hey brother, I can't find the xtron head unit that you used with the link in this video. I wanted to buy it as a gift for a family member with a 2010 335i X-drive M-Sport. Any chance you have the correct link ? Please and thank you
I was hoping for the same thing, so I emailed them and asked about it and apparently they are looking into it. "Hello Andreas. Thanks for your interest, we're planning to start a project investigation for a BMW E46, so keep on following us. Regards" So keep checking the site, cus apparently it's gonna pop up sooner or later (y)
Why would you swap your great looking expensively made analog gauges for a chinese tablet?? To go with the flow? Because other people think it looks modern?
Have this same one. An absolutely must if you want to daily these cars. Apple CarPlay is cooler than i expected with reading off your text messages to you as you drive.
I like the digital dashboard but I think the best-looking infotainment is still the pre LCI. With the clean dash lines and just a cd player. I can get a small Bluetooth dongle and connect it to my aux to play my tunes.
I wanna get a hold on the dash is so beautiful I was the one that got the clean M4 with 54k miles on it this would really amplify my interior even more 💪🏼🙏🏼 bless up bro keep up the good work
@@VehicleVirals I'm going to try. Did you have to take out cage hosuing in order to do that? Cube barely fits in that corner. It looks like there is more room on the bottom right side but harness is too short.
@@VehicleVirals I removed the cage, I was able to put that cube in left bootom corner. I reinstaled the cage, conetected CCC unit and it fit. Good to go. I should of done that right away. I spent couple hours try to figure out how to make that harness fit. I removed the cage and took me couple minutes. Thanks
Great video.. ive been contemplating about getting something like this but im still happy with the stock unit. 2011 so i have bluetooth and thats gold for me.
I have one of these units installed on my 2012 e92, works great other than the audio. It keeps skipping when listening to music via apple car play, works fine with the radio. The head unit audio is directly connected to the oem aux input. Xtrons has been little to no help with this issue, wounding if anyone else has had this issue
8 months on; how is the head unit performing? A few years back I bought an xtrons full screen head unit for my Merc cl203 and daily operation often felt like hardwork. It felt laggy, slow on start up and occasionally froze when loading up mainstay apps like Google maps and Spotify... Now I've just bought an e93 and looking at mods.. Would you still recommend it with 8 months' use?
That box that went out is your XM/Sirius radio module. The whole system runs a fiber optic line and that light stopped at the XM/Sirius. I bypassed mine with some vacuum line.
I've watched this videos a couples times. When initially posted, I went ahead and bought a unit. Unfortunately I was not satisfied with the unit and reached out to the seller but haven't heard back after two emails. Initially when purchasing the unit, they were very accommodating but once the sell was final, no luck getting to them. If you notice in your video, the OEM view its zoomed in which the same issue I am having. The other issue is that when on "Car Play", call comes in, if you click on "Accept call", it actually ignores the call and hangs up. There other little minors issues but I can deal with those. This isn't to bash your review, you are great at what you do and honest . Can you test these issues on your unit and do a follow up as to your conclusion. Would really appreciate it. Keep up the good work, love your channel!!
Bro i just got a m package 328i 2012 it has a dome just like this i was too worried i would mess anything up installing it but now i know its easy! Just subbed thanks man! Great video
Looks super clean dude. I'm seeking recommendations on a pre lci e90 touchscreen that is compatible with Logic & could handle adding aftermarket 10in Kicker L7 sub & amp...im currently looking at the AVIN unit but afraid to spend $500+ on a unit that's not compatible w/this intended setup. Most concerned about the aftermarket sub & amp being too much for these android type units. Any help appreciated.
I have the same unit as he installed,. the AVIN one is the same unit but they charge a dumb amount and still provide no support, buy the cheapest one you can find with Android 10, 4gb RAM 64 GB and Octacore CPU, they are all the same. My car has Logic7 and this unit just resues the fiber optics, and i dont think it would be an issue adding an extra amp since you do that by splicing cables in the trunk near the amp (not an expert) but i know there are PNP-harnesses for plugging in an extra AMP via the Logic7 one so you can add another sub.
@@mickjohnson86 Unless the CIC unit works way differently he shouldnt have to, the green/black fibre cable that you see around 11:05-11:10 is moved to the new connector which should allow you to get audio, mine had a CCC unit (2007 335i) and i did not use any AUX-cables. That said i have to set it to the "AUX" option in the original iDrive sources, but thats a one and done deal. AFAIK the aux cable route is for base audio systems without fibre optics and/or older android head units, if you look at older install guides its there, but none of the newer ones use it.
So audio will not work at all if you don’t connect the aux cable? Only reason i’m asking is since the original CIC unit was connected to that computer, all this head unit is doing is using the same connections with a different screen, so the audio should be passed through the same way
Yo man I’ve been watching you for a while and you completely changed my mind on the n54 platform. Your videos are awesome man keep killing it. Subscribed! Let’s help those percentages 😂
So I had seen this video when I first got my 335i (which was around the time you uploaded the video) and now I’m rewatching because my Xtrons arrives this week (mine’s the version that comes for e90 without iDrive). Anyway, I JUST noticed you listen to Jay Wheeler lol.
If you have the logic 7 sound system there amps are notorious for failing located in the backs left corner of the car in the trunk sometimes being the cause of no sound too!
at 26:26 the play buttons are cut off the screen, seems that the screen aspect ratio isn't correct. (too wide maybe?) also at 26:02 the names of the apps are cut off, most likely due to the same problem. Is there a way to fix this?
I been looking at the Xtrons units along with some others. Trying to figure out why the android radios that replace the oem radio are cheaper than the top dash mounted ones.
Great video, best one ive seen on these e90's, I just bought the xtrons, seems like the newest android operating system and has the most powerful specs compared to ones ive researched. Cant wait to install this and modernize my e90
should have gone with the MMI Prime style box - way easier install, you can keep OG iDrive available, and if you get the chinese version it’s pretty cheap too.
@@truculenttabasco The car’s design wasn’t built for a touchscreen. It’s not a good place to reach, being recessed, and who cares if you have 4G if it’s connected to your phone. It is lacking the MHD monitoring but it’s much cleaner, easier to remove, faster, easier to install, and not a $200 android tablet stuffed into a hole in the dash.
@@truculenttabasco it works off the phone so of course it has 4G/5G/whatever Android Auto ends up supporting 🤔 As for touch screens, try using one in a car. They are awful.
The AVIN head unit is better interface looks better and you have more option for front and rear cameras as well as dash with dvr and has a splitter that can run off the oem gps. Glad to see your back bro I plan on doing an overhead turbo install in the future but the single turbo you installed had me thinking price wise. Sucks I don’t have a trustworthy garage out here in Kansas like you do unless your people knows someone out here.
I just did my coding on the 2010 335i conv I just bought and I noticed that the Headunit module in bimmercode app showed CIC. My car is not the LCI as in exterior changes, but maybe BMW did change the head units on 2010's from CCC to CIC. Thoughts?
I bought this system based on your vid. I have had nothing but problems with it and the customer service SUCKS. The system display occasionally works. I have spent weeks troubleshooting this system with the customer service folks. This has included removing and reinstalling the head unit, resetting the system several times, disconnecting the battery etc. they have finally conceded that is is not working correctly and told me to return it and they would ship me a new one. This approach will leave a hole on my dash for weeks and basically make the car undrivable. I asked them to send me a new one and when I install it and verify that it works, I will return the defective one. They have refused. I have spent HOURS messing with this thing. Don’t do it… junk and horrible customer service.
Did you purchase through us Brett? We have sold 100s of these units with no such issues. Assuming you purchased from us, we would have taken care of you immediately.
Can you use the idrive dial to click on things? I can't. Mine lets me navigate and highlight icons but pressing the down button doesn't actually select anything. I have to press the touch screen.
I was all on board until I saw the lag time in response for the tachometer. I mean at that point it might as well just change colors to indicate more vrooms or less vrooms.
Got it for 2007 e93. Trying to install it. Got the music playing but can’t get the unit back in with the harness. Ripping up my knuckles and just can’t get it back in with that harness. Help !!! 😢😢😢
Yo Christian the thing you said was a wi fi antenna is a DAB aerial. The USA still uses an and fm radio. Europe and the rest of world is moving to DAB. Digital signals are much cleaner than anything on fm. I put a similar unit in my e88 2. Years ago. We in the UK. Check DAB on wickapidia.
14:39 My E90, 330i (2005), doesn't have that dashboard display. This came in newer versions or after/with facelift? Any vids about upgrading the stock radio to something with large display?
I have something similar from Andream, which gave me Carplay and reverse cam on my CIC.. though I think it's time for me to finally retrofit an NBT EVO, speaking of, I haven't seen any E9X owners doing a DIY on retrofitting an NBT EVO on these cars
I have the exact same factory stereo, at the mark 11:59, the orange, yellow, pink connectors, do you recall if there was actually anything plugged into the orange connector? I’m reassembling everything back, I only have the yellow & pink conn wire left, triple checked behind the dash to see if there was an orange one, but non in sight.
How in the world did you get the lower, main unit back in there with all that new wire and huge extra adapter in there? I can’t get my 4 screw brackets closer than 3/8” from dash. Skipped that info in the video.
Hii I have a question to the original i drive system. In the Video you open it and there is a other window open which hide the full screen of the i drive menu and you can‘t see the level of the oil etc. Is there a solution to close this window because i have the same problem with my Xtron.
I haven't read all the comments and really don't have time now. I just recently saw this and I love it. I have a 2011 E90 328i. My head unit looks exactly like yours. This should wok in mine don't you think? Also, how can I tell which version of the idrive I have?
I have 2008 BMW 135i. Do you have head unit that fit. I have head unit fold up. I don't know if they make for model hole will pretty large hole when remove.
Its stated that Aux is needed for unit to work. My car has no aux. Is it enough to code aux option in, or do systems with aux actually have different physical plugs?
you could use the car idrive bluetooth in on the android side so you do not have to use the aux cable the android os on that android head unit do not interact with the idrive
Fyi, you can get these headunits from other places as well, I've installed 4 android headunits in various cars so far, all from aliexpress ranging between 100 and 300.
Great video👏👌 I did upgrade from ccc to cic. Now bt and aux dosnt work. I saw u get audio from aux sooo... if my aux dosnt work than addroid 10 dash wont working too 🤨🤔
I dont understand the audio issue why do you need the aux at all? Is there no Bluetooth? And what about the tones from the car itself [door chimes etc]. How about fm radio?
You can go wireless with the android auto also. And you don't need to use the aux for sound. I fitted mine into my E60. Connects automatically when I get in the car.
Those cables you bypassed in the trunk are the Can-Bus system to the amplifier (can-bus system is used for audio, video, and display info using cool red lasers). It runs in series and if one module is down, the whole communication is down and it scares the others. Bypassing the Bus system closes that break and brings the talking group back together!
Not can bus. The fiber optic network

DIGITAL CLUSTER!! Never new it existed! Hopefully I can find one for an E60
We have them available on my website for the E60
The whole time I was yelling at my screen telling you that that mini speaker was for the door chime.
How in the world did you get the lower, main unit back in there with all that new wire and huge extra adapter in there? I can’t get my 4 screw brackets closer than 3/8” from dash. Skipped that info in the video.
Remove the skeleton and tuck it to the bottom left corner. There is space there.
Can some tell me what the thing he was pointing to in the trunk was I’m having aux issues too
Hii
I have a question to the original i drive system. In the Video you open it and there is a other window open which hide the full screen of the i drive menu and you can‘t see the level of the oil etc.
Is there a solution to close this window because i have the same problem with my Xtron.
Go to factory settings and change the aspect ratio
@12:25 the wood trim isnt cheap, so it’s definitely worth protecting.
I haven't read all the comments and really don't have time now. I just recently saw this and I love it. I have a 2011 E90 328i. My head unit looks exactly like yours. This should wok in mine don't you think? Also, how can I tell which version of the idrive I have?
you have cic
Give me the link for that back up camera from xtrons
Nice upgrades bro. Se ve durisimooo 🔥💪
Where u get that dash thing that said hello christen and what would would I need for my 2005 bmw 525i
I would like to see how would you use touchscreen with that second screen :))
Did you ever find a way to get rid of the gray second screen on the right at 23:55
Yes. Just go into Xtrons settings and adjust the display your setup
Will it work for me ?if my ccc it’s broken?it restart by himself again and again….
I have 2008 BMW 135i. Do you have head unit that fit. I have head unit fold up. I don't know if they make for model hole will pretty large hole when remove.
We have head units for your car on your website.
Dope upgrade ❤❤❤
My Idrive knob is too sensitive to touch with Xtrons and not very accurate. Is there a way to adjust it like a factory screen resolution for CCC?
Its stated that Aux is needed for unit to work. My car has no aux. Is it enough to code aux option in, or do systems with aux actually have different physical plugs?
What car?
Bmw E63 (CCC)
I got this one and mine connects with Android with wireless also so it must be an upgrade. Great system
I’ve got this same one and it says the bluetooth has been deactivated, any ideas on how to fix?
you could use the car idrive bluetooth in on the android side so you do not have to use the aux cable the android os on that android head unit do not interact with the idrive
I have a 2009 335xi without cic. What do you recommend that would be windshield mounted, as I don’t want to cut into the dash?
Fyi, you can get these headunits from other places as well, I've installed 4 android headunits in various cars so far, all from aliexpress ranging between 100 and 300.
Any links ???
I bought this same unit for my 13 e92. How do you get rid of that split screen when trying to look at your Idrive system so I can check my oil levels
Did you ever figure that out, i have the same question also.
@@djcalanco You can switch that off from the settings menu on the android headunit
Great video👏👌
I did upgrade from ccc to cic. Now bt and aux dosnt work. I saw u get audio from aux sooo... if my aux dosnt work than addroid 10 dash wont working too 🤨🤔
I dont understand the audio issue why do you need the aux at all? Is there no Bluetooth? And what about the tones from the car itself [door chimes etc]. How about fm radio?
Hi, I would to know if with this head unit I can play my music through the Bluetooth or am I forced to insert the AUX cable? I have a 2006 BMW 330xi
You can go wireless with the android auto also. And you don't need to use the aux for sound. I fitted mine into my E60. Connects automatically when I get in the car.
Not with all system options unfortunately.
I have a 2012 335 with the Harman Kardon sound system. Can i use this head unit with the package my car have?
Ive been waiting for somebody to do this
