Hey Recently got one of these myself. Do you have the same problem as me where you cant see a volume slider in android or the Apple CarPlay? So you gotta kinda guess what volume is on
@ Ye exactly. And i dont want my volume on max But gotta turn it to max to then lower it abit. Do you know if there is any fix to this? Can you maybe enter code in car and Get volume adjuster in the instrument panel somewhere ?
I cant speak for the standard OEM screen, but this new screen does have the ability to turn it off, I tested it the other day after seeing your question. :)
@DSR1YT ty. I always put my screens on dark mode. Can't wait for this to arrive. Got it for £165 with the double discounts. Should arrive soon. Will follow this video again. Was disappointed the 2013 had nothing but Bluetooth connect to phone calls. I had a 2009 R32 before this had GTIs all the last 20 years and had the R32 for a month. It was horrible DSG and the tax was £750 a year. Rip off and the fuel was horrendous. This BMW is £20 tax a year and a way better automatic box. First time BMW owner, not too bad so far
Hay there, no sadly my car doesn't have the camera, but there is the cables to attach if you have it, I just have the reverse sensors and they still work and show up as if on the OEM system.
Before I got the unit I emailed them to make sure I was ordering the right unit, they have different types to suit your model. And Spotify definitely works with this unit.
Alright mate, sadly no idea about the audio, mine worked perfectly after full installation, stupid question but have you checked all of the connectors are seated properly? Might be worth dropping them an email and see if they have any ideas on how to fix the issue.
Good video ! The main issues I see with those screens are: - Reflections !! They looks very intense, the original anti glare was a lot better - Forced to use the Aux Cable ?
I used to have to use my aux cable with the old screen. Now I don’t. I only use Apple CarPlay. No aid cable required. The glare is ok. Nothing too bad. 🤙
Well this is very different but very interesting. Will it fit on my bike 😂. Different but very good, you made it look so easy. If that was me half the bits would be out the window.. oh a bit steamy in there 😊
I don’t think this one will fit on your bike mate 🤣. Autoabc do motorcycle screens though 😁. You should have seen the bloopers and time spent contemplating why I’d started doing this 🤣. Got there in the end though and very pleased with the results.
Hi! Great video btw. My bmw doesn't have the original display, if I buy this screen and i'll connect it to the aux port, will it work the same? Thanks😀
Hay, I dont see why not, your mainly taking the bulk wires out of the current unit, placing it in to a new harness then connecting that new harness to the new unit. Always worth double checking with the company itself though, remember, im no mechanic or electrician :)
the car i am about to buy doesnt have one either i have seen a short stating that you can add the screen ofcourse there is no oem idrive but hte app/android car play will work just fine. you do need to be brave enough the cut open your dash to fit the screen. i have also seen you should reiforce the dash for the screen
Honestly I’m not to sure which mic it uses. But I can say the voice calls aren’t as good as when it was on the OEM screen. So maybe there’s a mic on the screen 🤷🏻♂️🤙
i fix 12.3 inches in my bnw 1 series 2018 118i model after fix i selected one by one all resolutuion but its not working plz can you suggest me hoe can i do
you can try these steps: 1. Select 800×480 resolution 2. Turn off the vehicle engine and wait for the screen to go black. 3. Unplug the red plug behind the screen and the large white plug as well. 4. Then plug in the red plug first and then the white plug. 5. Start the car. Settings - System - Restart
@DSR1YT it's a Linux based system, that's the problem. Better off with android os which also has car play and android auto. With this system you cannot down load your own apps, difficult to customise all users get is a slightly bigger screen to mirror a phone you might get 1 or 2 years warranty or buy the same unit or ones with a android os from China, I'm 99.9% sure this seller is buying them for £60 (non android auto) and selling them.
@s80heb we’ve got our own criteria’s of what we want from this upgrade. I only use maps. Music and Spotify. It has all I need and I don’t want any other apps. So for me it’s perfect. But as you say if you want to add other apps then I am not sure if it’s possible. . 🤷🏻♂️🤙
Hey
Recently got one of these myself. Do you have the same problem as me where you cant see a volume slider in android or the Apple CarPlay? So you gotta kinda guess what volume is on
Yes mate. When you think a song isn’t playing because of bad signal or something. To then realise you haven’t turned it up 🤣. 🤙
@ Ye exactly. And i dont want my volume on max But gotta turn it to max to then lower it abit. Do you know if there is any fix to this? Can you maybe enter code in car and Get volume adjuster in the instrument panel somewhere ?
Hi pal have you got a link for this please 😊
Alright mate. There’s a link in the description along with a discount code that is hopefully still active.
@@DSR1YT this discount code is still active
Do you need buy anything else to support to work ie car play module my mate wants to fit this in hi 2012 1 series
Everything I showed in the video is all you need. It comes with everything. My 1 series is the 2013 so I’m sure it’s no different from the 2012. 🤙
does your music work with android auto/Carplay as im having a problem with music when android auto is on but works fine whrn android auto isn't on
So we’ve only got iPhones. But all music, Spotify, TuneIn etc all work perfectly. 🤙
ahh I see and my original phone screen isn't working just showing a blank screen am I doing something wrong 😂
On the oem screen is there a "turn off screen" option? I couldn't see one.
I cant speak for the standard OEM screen, but this new screen does have the ability to turn it off, I tested it the other day after seeing your question. :)

Did you get any fault codes come up that you had to recode out?
No faults or issues whatsoever mate. 🤙
I just got the same screen for my car it’s so good thanks for the helping 👍👍👌🙂 work perfect 👌
You’re welcome mate. 🤙
Hello mate
Do you have a reversing camera and if so does that still work?
Cheers
Hay there, no sadly my car doesn't have the camera, but there is the cables to attach if you have it, I just have the reverse sensors and they still work and show up as if on the OEM system.
Will it work on my F21? 2013?
As far as I am aware mate, yes, it will work with F20/F21 from 2011 to 2016. Id check out their website to double check though.
Is the vehicle service list still working or is it empty? I have seen that some people report that the service list is empty with the linux screen.
I’ve just checked and can confirm it is all still there 👌
Does this work with the CIC system or do they do one for that I can’t seem to find out.
Also do these systems work with Spotify?
they have CIC model. you can send an email to them for a further confirmation
Before I got the unit I emailed them to make sure I was ordering the right unit, they have different types to suit your model.
And Spotify definitely works with this unit.
Hi mate,thanks for the tutorial screen works perfectly! Do you know why my audio and Car OEM screen isn’t working or what can I do to make it work?
Alright mate, sadly no idea about the audio, mine worked perfectly after full installation, stupid question but have you checked all of the connectors are seated properly?

Did you have to use the aux port for sound?
I don’t use the aux cable /port at all now. I just connected what was provided.
@@DSR1YThow doed audio connect to car speakers
@@DSR1YTthe one from your link in the description says the linux system is used through AUX. What do you mean you don't use it...
Thanks.
No worries!
Thanks for this great video. What about the original microphone for phone calls? Is it still used? Or do we have to use the screen microphone?
Honestly I’m not to sure which mic it uses. But I can say the voice calls aren’t as good as when it was on the OEM screen. So maybe there’s a mic on the screen 🤷🏻♂️🤙
@@DSR1YT Thank you for your answer. If you stay on the OEM menu, are you still able to make phone calls ? If yes do you think it's with the OEM mic ?
Does anyone know how to hard reset? My CarPlay is no longer working 😢
My multi media turner don’t work, any way round this
Just ordered one. With your code there was another code on site and used both. Paid £165
Got to love it when you get multiple discounts. 😁🤙
@DSR1YT I will re watch. Is it as simple as plugging into corresponding colours and screwing back in?
@Lonely_Goat yes mate. Really easy. Just take your time with getting all the trim off so you don’t snap anything 🤣🤙
i fix 12.3 inches in my bnw 1 series 2018 118i model after fix i selected one by one all resolutuion but its not working plz can you suggest me hoe can i do
you should reboot the system after choosing the resolution.
you can try these steps: 1. Select 800×480 resolution
2. Turn off the vehicle engine and wait for the screen to go black.
3. Unplug the red plug behind the screen and the large white plug as well.
4. Then plug in the red plug first and then the white plug.
5. Start the car. Settings - System - Restart
Does anybody know if it will fit a 2015 f22?
yes, it works for F20/F21/F22 from 2013-2015.
When you turn off the engine does the screen still stay on like with the OEM ? And only turn off after you lock the car
Correct mate.
@ thank you
thanks for texting zoe on my phone 🤣
Haha you’re welcome mate 🤣. It’s like those people who turn off other peoples Xbox’s with the voice commands 🤣🤙
@@DSR1YT does it delete your service history? and can you watch youtube on there?
The don't do one with a android os
It’s Apple car play / android auto system. Not sure what the problem is mate?
