    First of all, thx for showing the entire process! Really appreciate it. But 300 bucks just for coding seems a bit much tbh esp if you can get an entite headunit for the same amount of money

    Hi do you know if Spotify on BMW apps will work offline without data? iPhone allows the songs on your Spotify account to be downloaded onto the phone storage. If I then turn off data on my iPhone, will BMW apps be apple to read and play the songs stored in the local Spotify app?

    Is it possible to get navigation (BMW OEM) as well? Or do you need to install an extra module in the car? My car is a 6 series F06 with the base screen (6' or 8' can't remember), without sat nav in it.

    Good morning, how are you?
    First, I need to congratulate and thank you all for all the material thanks.
    I write from Brazil. Here there is no material of this type available on the network.
    I'm trying to retrofit the radio, small screen and idrive of my 2012 bmw 328i to the radio/DVD with gps, big screen and idrive of a 2015 BMW 328i.
    I used Esys 3.30 and PSDZ FULL 4.26. I managed to make the radio and the panel communicate, now the date, the time, and the onboard computer work on the radio and on the paibel.
    The only thing that still doesn't enable/work is the GPS.
    Can I ask you to help me?
    I must be failing to do some procedure in Esys and I can't find a tutorial on the web.
    I look forward to an answer and I thank you very much for your attention.
    Thanks.

    @LongJohn97 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I've got some of those apps already fitted to my Z4 E89 and actually I never use them as all of them are already on my phone and are much easier to use via the phone manually of via Siri..The bimmertec service is really quite expensive and a much better way to get a better "connected" music & 'office' system, is to install a Amazon Echo Dot in your car together with a mobile data dongle. Voice control is much easier & safer than iDrive control. For the BMW specific 'tweeks' Carly is far more flexible and of course user controlled - albeit still quite pricey but still much cheaper than Bimmertec and give you the option to 'tinker' or adjust settings as many times as you like.

    • @boostedmedia
      @boostedmedia  7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      It’s a bit of a grey area really. Coding isn’t traceable as long as it’s set back to exactly as it was before you take the car in. Technically it would void any warranty related to the system you’ve modified. So for example if you code your iDrive system and you have a piston go through the block, it’s unlikely they wouldn’t cover it. But if the iDrive failed you’re screwed.
      Hope that makes sense.

      I take it you have a fairly new model? BMW doesn't release firmware updates often enough (probably no more than 2-3 years after model year release), and when they do, it's usually for minor bugs. I think you may be alright to do without an update or two unless they're to address a massive oversight (like, a fix incurred by a class action lawsuit).

      Right now the best option is an Idrive 6 retrofit. But it ain’t cheap.

      Check the bimmer-tech.net website for compatibility but I don’t believe so. Not without an iDrive upgrade retrofit anyway.

      Ah ok, now I understand what the problem is. There is a separate weather app in the connected drive menu. Here you can see what I mean: www.bmw.co.za/content/dam/bmw/common/all-models/4-series/gran-coupe/2014/services-and-apps/connected-drive-services-slide-01-en.jpg
      I guess you need Apple Car Play to make that happen, but it is just a guess as I don't own one. I can't display messages as my 116d lacks Wireless Charging and the Extended Smartphone Connectivity. I just have the navi pro without the business plus package.
      BMW loves to charge for every piece of plastic lots of money, the connected drive services are cool, but should be a standard in cars with navigation imo. Google does 90% of that for free anyway...

  • @tri0xin

    Would be nice if the apps were added.. and mobile phone not necessary. Since the car is already connected why does it need the cell phone data? I can already see live news and weather and search yelp reviews.. why can't it connect to a tunein station?

    • @boostedmedia
      @boostedmedia  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Older models like mine don’t not have built in 4G so they rely on the phone for connectivity. Newer models with 4G it would require 3rd party apps to be able to run natively. Impossible since it’s not running Android or iOS.
      Apps would have to be developed specifically for the iDrive platform.

    • @tri0xin
      @tri0xin 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      ahh, make sense. Thanks for the explanation. When i originally bought my X3 and saw the connected apps advertisement photo with.. tunein/spotify/pandora etc.. I assumed it meant they were built in. Kinda deceptive.

    all of this coding is great but what I would realy like to do is write my own apps for this car (what os does it run, what language are apps written in)
    for instance the tuner in 2012 BMW (F10) is realy good and I would like to be able for the tuner to show me more data like PI Code, AF Frequency List, if it is recieving in Stereo, etc (I would like to manualy enter the desired frequency and so on or turn off AF because I don't want my car switching stations I know the frequency so I can enter it on my own)
    or write my own radio client for it, etc
    is this possible
    because when I hear coding your car I always see people using this cable (which BTW: I don't know where you can buy one) and they always eather activate or deactivate a certain feature
    nobody writes their own apps

    • @boostedmedia
      @boostedmedia  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s all Unix based I’m sure, but I’m not sure how one goes about writing their own BMW apps. I haven’t looked in to it. I think it’s more common to write android apps and use screen mirroring.

      do you recomend any places where one could find an anwser to this question maybe some forum where people with BMWs that know something about "hacking" them could share their knowledge
      then how the hell are these: www.dvdinmotion.com/bmw
      DVDinMotion stuff written (a CD that you insert in your car and it magicly unlocks your car somehow (I want to create my own for enabling BMW apps for instance (because I would rather create a CD than buy a cable)
