Heads up anyone watching this.. DO NOT use the eManual Link in the description.. it is a scam based in India. I just looked it up because I was interested in a service manual for my car. BE CAREFUL...
Evan Thanks for doing this. I installed the Avin unit in my 2010 e61 and it works pretty well. I remember seeing a video that showed how to launch CarPlay when selecting one of the main red tiles (nav, apps, settings etc). I want to launch Carplay when I select Navigation. Can you show where I can find this? Thanks again
Another great video, thanks guys! About the Aux cable spliter, I understand that one end goes to the AUX port behind the center console, what about the other end? can you please elaborate on this? Much appreciate it 🙏
@@EvanGoyuk Hey man i followed your video but i'm having an issue with my sound. Is there any reason why you specifically used the splitter cable instead of just one long aux cable? I have no sound coming from the car play unit but all sound from my i drive works. I've noticed when i try to set the aux volume on my CIC it allows me to adjust it but keeps resetting back to 0.
I have a BMW 530xi 8.8 screen, what model should I use that will fit in the space currently used by the old one? It has a professional navigation system installed. What extras need to be installed, or might enhance the system that you would install? Thank you, Gary
Hey I have done exactly what u did and everything seems to be working fine except I got one issues when I press and hold on the menu bottom it won't change to I drive and Bluetooth music won't work it's only playing the old factory screen radio any idea why it won't change the screen to the old when I press and hold on menu bottom thanks
Hello E van, I have a 2009 BMW E60, 535I, I have tried repeatedly to get the Bluetooth to work on my 2022 Avin stereo that I installed using your video as a guide, during your video, you touch on the auxiliary connection but it’s blurry and not quite clear to me if this is a three connection splitter or just an interconnect from audio out to the auxiliary port in the center console, if it’s a three connection wire I would assume it’s two males and one female, our vehicle has the CCC unit and everything works except for Bluetooth, any help or advice would be appreciated.
Not sure if you are still replying to comments. I have 3 issues: 1) no sound from radio, but everything else has sound, including CD player. 2) bass tone is almost non-existent. Messed around with equalizer but nothing changed, even when adjusting OEM sound. 3) Dash cam does not work, or cannot activate it. Plus SD card slot doesn’t work as there is no input for an SD card on the cam. Can I get some helpful tips?
I want to get this for my 2007 E60 but, my CCC unit isn’t broke but doesn’t turn my screen on anymore should I replace it and get a new one or you think it’s a connection thing?
Hi mate i have recently got one fitted just a slight issue i’m have with watching youtube videos in full screen i have tried pinching the screen to adjust but only once worked but no luck now
Hey @Evan Goyuk 'm installing this unit using your video. On the main wiring harness there is a long white and black wiring harness with what looks like a speaker attached to it. What is that and where did you install it?
Thanks for the video, I have the same unit for my BMW E90 I set it up the other day but I am having a major issue whenever I receive a call the Bluetooth screen take over the radio and I am locked out from using any other app. Until I end the call, Waze navigation stop moving and stop giving direction. I cannot keep the call going and get any other app on the radio. Same thing happen if I’m using android auto, if you don’t mind can you please do a test on your unit and see if you are using Waze and receive a call if you’re radio locked up. Can you use any other app while in the car over Bluetooth. look forward to your answer thank you
do you have to use gps splittter or can you bypass straight to new deck and just use the gps on that or does it require the factory gps for it to work? Thinking it still should work on the new considering its a tablet with wifi
I recently installed this head unit in my 2006 e61. It has no aux connection. I connected everyhing and I have no Bluetooth sound but fm radio is working from the original set up. Whatever sound that is coming from the head unit is not reaching the speakers. Do you have any idea what this can be. I dont care to use an aux cable. I'm fine with Bluetooth and/or USB. I'm assuming there is a setting somewhere that will correct this. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
I'm at the point that I exhausted all possibilities and found no other solution other them connecting an aux connection. After installing everthing it still didn't work. Took it to someone to code it and it still didn't work. Now I have to take it to bmw to update the firmware and then code it in. Still waiting for the free time to do that.
Evan Goyuk where do I buy the CarPlay cause I am not getting any type of sound coming from it or Bluetooth finding of my iPhone accept for it finding the hotspot connection to the iPhone. And mine doesn’t have the auxiliary in the console, is that a necessity for the audio to work with the speakers since it’s all still using the loop fiber optic.
You can't do that update. Because you no longer are running that software. Like switching from iphone to Samsung. And trying to run an iPhone update on it.
Hi I got an 04 525i and my radio keeps on turning on and off, so screen turns on but something is shutting off. If I was to purchase this would this fix it?

@@EvanGoyuk not at all. dead set on bmw but all the older 3 series are not maintained well in my area so I've been looking for 5 series 2004+. I'm open minded to look at any of the body styles

hey again evan.. another top video buddy! I just bought that some black dongle 4 android auto.. but lost steering wheel controls to skip tracks in music! needs some password for the black dongle's Autoplay software, I asked avin they said they dont know... see if u can find out and make a vid/comment!
How much time does it take to boot? Does it have to boot up every time you stop and start the engine or when you take your key out? Does it switch to the reverse camera while it's booting? Does it switch to the reverse camera while you're in CCC mode?
Bálint Fodor it takes about 5-7 seconds to boot, nothing crazy. In my car the accessories stay on for a few minutes after you shut the car off so it will also stay on unless you press the button again. Boot times are not long enough for me to ever try out the reverse cam while booting. I don’t think it switches to the reverse camera while in CCC mode becuase it locks itself into that mode although I will try it later.
mines I have set to go to sleep mode when turn car off.. so it starts bang instantly.. almost no power drain.. guys on the e46fanatics Avin thread measured it and it's nothing.. so cool 2 set it not to power down.. set it to sleep instead 👍
Hey a quick question I have a 2007 e61 with the 6.5 screen and ccc, would upgrading to this increase the size of the screen or would it still be 6.5? And is this available for ccc?
Yes just make sure to remove the fiber optic cable of the old harness and into the new one. the fiber optic cable is the green cable. Look at 10:36 in the video
Great Video but you lose a lot of the classic functionality built into the original unit for reporting of the vehicle. Whether it is worth it is another question. Great video, thanks.
@@rivolinho Think of it as a replacement monitor with two inputs. One input is the same as OEM. When you've selected that input, you're seeing the same system. So yes. The other input is the Android side. The original system's CPU and all that is in the head unit below the OEM screen (CD slot, hard drive, etc), not in the screen that's replaced. Another analogy is replacing a regular TV with a smart TV that has a Netflix app. You can still watch what you could watch before with your non-smart TV from the HDMI/cable/antenna inputs, but you add the ability to watch Netflix through the smart TV's app (as long as the smart TV has internet access). For some android head unit features, it is your paired smart phone that provides the internet/GPS/mobile network connection, or you can on some of them have a SIM card in the head unit.
I know this is an old thread ha < but i just bought a NEW AVIN 8.8 for my 07 BMW with NAV : MY idrive wheel is REAL glitchy on the android app : FINE when i am back to The old idrive interface , but back in android is goes whack , all over the place when i try & scroll & select - it will hardly settle ! its frustrating , any ideas ? Should i get a new one with all the extra buttons ? ha HELP
That looks prettt dope...........Im in the process of buying an apple car play unit exactly same thing but the car play is already installed and you can use idrive in it
I just install this and everything on the android works great; however, i can't switch back to the ccc unit. All I am getting when I press the menu is a clock. Any idea where i went wrong? Great Video.
go to factory settings type your passcode in, in the menu there will be a option to check at top and it says android screen that has no oem screen, Uncheck that box and everything will work. It happened to me yesterday when i was installing the android head unit.
You prolly dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my brother lately xD
I got one, but it's too dim. I put the brightness all the way up, but the Master system keeps it at 50%. How do I disable the DIM of the head unit when the headlights are on? I need the screen to be full brightness all the time.
Not one of the other videos mention the gps splitter cable. Thank you!
It didn't but I had a spare, connected it as instructed and got really good sound, thanks, I appreciate your work.

Some extra options
@@EvanGoyuk what extra options did you get so that i can get mine the same
Carplay, backup camera
i have the screen with no navi can i get navi with that unit
Yes
So the sound goes through the aux cable?
Does this unit system works with Standard BMW E60 radio with no Nav system ? .

What is the brand name for the new radio
Hallo
I have a question
The car radio is on, and the CD player is reading, but there is no sound?
I see it has a purple and red wire at the head unit, which wire color do you connect to the red wire from the camera? Thanks
What if your car doesn’t have factory aux? How does it work?
Is it important to change radio? Or it will work on original wide monitor?
With this radio you are just changing the screen!
Did you ever get the iDrive controller working to scroll around in CarPlay?
Yes it now supports it
The standsrd USB connector at the back of the unit what to do with that ? I didnt have anywhere to plug it back in
So i connect everything and now my trunk won’t open do you have any idea what could be the problem?

You need to run the aux cable from the new radio to the aux port in the car. Only have for audio to work
If the unit itself supports Bluetooth A2DP for phone and music streaming, do you really need the optional CarPlay adapter???
