- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- In this video I show you how to install an Android based head unit upgrade for your E9X based BMW. This also applies to the E6X series. This guide shows you how to replaced your 8.8" CCC screen for an upgraded Android based system to bring the car up to date in terms of it's infotainment system.
Once it's installed toward the later half of the video I show you how the interface looks and what it can do.

I actually purchased the head unit. I watched the videos and was able to get everything taken apart but hooking it up was another story. Since I had a lot of questions, I decided to take it to a professional sound shop. They were able to do it in about 2.5 hrs as a first time installer. So far I'm very happy with the outcome. There are a few things that I need to read up and figure out. Bottom line, I'm glad I've brought my 2011 into the 21 century.
Hi Ron,
On the comment section it was questioned that in order to move through apps you are gonna be turning idrive dial 10x !? Is there hat correct ? Have you experienced any issue at all using this on your BMW ?
"change it from metric to standard" lol
Haha metric is standard in the rest of the world
sure he wanted to say metric to imperial, great video tho.
Lol can't even understand why there is still measurings based on body parts in 21. century... That's ridiculos
I'm sure you know what he meant
In America it's metric and standard. He did not miss speak
this is honestly SO SICK. I plan on doing this for sure, great video
I was just ab to tag u in this bro lmao that’s crazy
I see you everywhere 😂😂 im @alejandro_delu on ig with the 6 series.
How I can get it
Definitely perfect for your M3
What’s the name of this, and where can I buy one?
What's the model of this Android based system? There are so many of these units, many don't support the MOST network with CCC and Logic 7. Is there some reason why you don't include product info or specs so I (we) can buy this thing?

100% agree
Hey - I loved the video but I have a question - I didn't see it in the description, but what is the link for the product? I'm looking to upgrade mine!
Same here
Just installed something similar. Can I ask how you got the wiring harness to actually fit? There’s 0 space back there with the CCC system..
These videos are incredibly valuable for showing how to get apart the E90 interior panels, for whatever reason.
Bro, what app did you download on your phone to connect the phone to the head unit? thanks in advance.
Did you ever have a problem playing music from your phone to the car on bluetooth my music plays on my phone as it should and shows me on the screen its playing ok but there isn't any music coming out on the speakers
Did you buy the Aux port extention to plug the speakers into your phone? the AUX is required to have the audio play.
tried to install my screen and RIP i need the damn aux cable between the harness and the armrest, thank you bmw for making me be able to talk with my phone with bluetooth but i can only use aux for audio damnit
Impulsive Lifestyle right? It’s stupid imo I can connect easily to the bluetooth but can’t put music from it...why? lol
@@jonathan169835 you ever get an answer to this? Bc I'm having the same issue
Terrence Sharp nah man you’ll probably have to use the aux or change the head unit at some point into something that let’s you use Bluetooth for audio
Hey bro I gotta question did you figure out how to get the sound quality good? & you think If I got this android screen & put subwoofers in I would have no problem? Like is it the vocals that get effected or jus the bass? Thanks bro great video
is it possible to start the car always with an android instead of the original BMW system? or do I have to hold the menu button for 3 seconds each time? Thanks!
This would be really interesting!
And also.. How long would it actually take to boot up?
Have you a link for this item please ?
i have an aftermarket headunit from BRENNAN i cant get the sound to work the screen works great , if the ccc navigation and dvd box isnt working will this prevent the sound ffrom working?
I “actually” can’t believe that nobody “actually” commented on the fact that he “actually” said actually like a million times
Sergiu Ziman how about you either stop watching his videos or shut your pie hole. Dude has helps tons of people work on their cars. Where are your videos?
It was just a joke 🙄 I never said he isn’t helpful. Grow up.
Sergiu Ziman you’re the one making weak “jokes” on TH-cam then telling me to grow up for commenting that your classless “jokes” could be discouraging. The way you wrote it only seems like criticism not a joke. Get funny before acting like a clown.
Can you try a flash with mhd? I read a post on a forum of a guy with this unit (I think) and he said when it puts the car in program mode the can bus is shutdown and the unit reboots. Here the thread bmw.spoolstreet.com/threads/avin-android-multimedia-system-master-thread.2226/
Hey man great video I followed your instructions and installed the QB8060CCS into my 2008 bmw 328i the radio and aux are working as well as the screen but the bluetooth and built in audio are not transmitting the audio. Any suggestion?
In my BMW interface i had to set audio to aux instead of FM
Very nice! But I’m concerned the music quality is not as good as the sound of my Logic 7 system with my after-market Bavsound speakers along with my Earthquake subs under the seats and amp, especially with a flash drive full of 320K MP3 music files inserted into the USB drive in the arm rest. Any thoughts about how the Logic 7 sound processing compares to the sound being processed by the new Android system???
Do you have the 6FL package on your car?
Yes I do.
Hi-res music (FLAC 48-96/16-24bit), play?!?
If you wanted to you could still integrate a sound system
Okay so if you connect as I've shown here via a Bluetooth adapter then you can screen mirror and for sound connect via 6FL. You'll maintain the sound quality and be able to skip tracks via the stereo controls etc.
When the car is ignited the audio from TV transfers to audio from radio , same goes with Bluetooth and videos. But if car is not ignited there is no problem.
Does it have Bluetooth connection Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?
i installed a unit like this in my E60 M5. man what a bitch to install for my first time.
Hi, i installed the same, but when i'm in the android mode, the iDrive controller keeps some kind of brake, in the old ccc menu it rotates normally. Any sugestions? Thanks.
For a second I thought that CCC meant Cheap Chinese Crap lmao
Nirrsan Nava I am defiantly buying this Cheap Chinese crap for $500. No one else can produce product of this quality for $500 lol
😂
@@Garsen233 quality? 😂 the parts are shit
@@MG-ce3dx Sadly this company also assemble those piece of shit iPhone Xs which you can't afford.
Nirrsan Nava cuz it is ....
Would LOVE to see how you got the extra cabling shoved out of the way enough to get the radio unit back into dash. Because the size of the interface connector and bundle along with the relatively short length of the interface wiring bundle makes getting the radio back into the dash a NIGHTMARE!
I am in the process now, and really cant get the radio back in
@@lassepedersen3801 I cut my hands up pretty good shoving the interface cabling into the only available space - to the lower left of the radio unit space. But I did get it, and the new display unit works like a charm...except for the fact that it's Android so the Bluetooth connectivity (key to Apple CarPlay functionality) is meh.
@@johnbrewer174 I've tried lower left and right, and it wont fit no matter what, cables have been out the headunit 12-15 times. When trying to fit the glovebox side, cable is too short and cant be lock in the HU, trying right side, i cant get the out of the way as the quadlock is bigger than the gap
I'm hoping you can help me, I have this unit installed in my BMW, my friend tried to hook his phone up to my system, pressed a couple of times in the menu section, and now all I have is FM radio! also when originally hooked up the ccc interface just gave me a purple screen, so I cannot reset back to the new android head. any advice would be appreciated!
1GB RAM - that's the reason for slow app loading and possibly slowness. I wonder if they make 2-4GB RAM models available like they do for other headunits. If not, this is still good upgrade. EDIT: Yes there is 2GB RAM and also 4GB RAM version available with small price difference, but well worth it.
Would you say the audio quality is as good as your tune2air?
Hello.. this is a sick video. I have 2008 BMW 535xi and my screen don't turn on. Took it to the mechanic and they charged me $3,000 to get a new screen and to fix. Is there any place where I get this product for my BMW? Please help the brother out
IF ITS 2GB RAM THAT IS WHY IS CRASHING IN APPS
Could I do the upgrade even though mine it's completely dead?
David Jauregui probably not. Functional ccc/cic needed for underlying functions
Where did you stuff the new big connector ? I can't find any room. Thanks for the great tutorial
Hello, what type of that navigation you bought? Thanks
So there is no LINK to buy? Wtf
Nice stuff. And a very nice DIY as usual!
To make sound better, you need RCA to aux cable. Attached the RCA cable on Aux out L and Aux out R and run the aux end to your aux port. I just installed it and it sounds just like OEM.
Hi monis!! Can you tell me more please?? Was the sound quality perfect on the head unit AND through android auto?? =)
Hi Monte, My screen cables say aux in Left and aux in right with rca also says audio out with Aux cable female. how do I connect the rca cable as you suggested?
the sound quality on mine is awesome. but the stock sound system on my m5 was amazing already. worst on mine is the screen brightness is pretty dim in daytime.
I have a newer module now that runs Android 7.0 and they fixed the sound quality issue but I haven't had a chance to upload a video on that yet.
@@VehicularDIY can you please post the link of the new module here?
My idrive works fine for the stock unit. But in the android menu i have to spin the button 10x to make it just jump 1 option to the right etc. Wtf is wrong please help getting nuts
I M having same problem with my idrive wheel as well. Did u figure it out yet? Also my CCC main title screen is chopped off. I cant find the settings to fix.
i just purchased a used 335i and it has this exact same android auto interface, i can bounce back and forth between idrive and this..... its pretty annoying considering i have an iphone... and it always interupts my bluetooth, its useless to me. I saw some other videos of aftermarket systems similar to this one but they can use android auto and apple car play , do u know if this one has apple car play as well?
I wouldn't have the patience to do all that.Maybe if the car never had idrive then I might do this.Thats just me I'm a little lazy and a strong believer of if it's not broke dont fix it.
Thanks for the video, but I had to actually stop and make a quick review.. WHY IN GOD"S NAME do you have music playing while you're giving installation directions? It's so annoying while I'm trying to take in everything you're saying.. Sorry to go on a rant but I don't understand why some people do this as if it's gonna make their video better... You don't need it. From what I've seen thus far, it's an A+ rated video in my option.
Why the fuck would you cut out the last of the wire running and reinstall??? You cut out like the last twenty minutes of reinstall... Jesus man, the entire purpose is to show all the steps. So many wires hanging out in that area, and then presto change O they are all put away and things are finished. Great!
Love your channel! Makes me more motivated to do more DIY mods to my BMW; within my channel good video 👍🏾
what's the problem if the screen is black?
Hi, Thanks so much for this video. Great stuff. Did you ever find a way (or can you reccomend a way) to tap into the cars existing GPS antenna? Cheers.
My CCC is shot if i order this will it fix it or do i still have to replace my CCC before ordering this?
Did you get one? How do you like it? My CCC is shot too
@@maliknexus im in the same boat lol, did it work for you ?
did that end up working for you, mines dead as well
CCC hast to work to use this!
My E60 2008 528i only has Bluetooth connection to accept cellphone calls , it is the first generation. Is this Android base screen giving me an option for streaming music from my cellphone or it relies on car's Bluetooth system ? If I want to keep the head unit the way it is can I just replace screen without going through all the steps ?!
What is the peep-sound at 15:11, I hear it in my e91 pre lci sometimes. But I have never figure it out what it is.
its reminder for clock when it hits example like 12.00,13.00,14.00 etc
How to change defalt video and music player wiht different ones? The stock one is shit....
Also my radio is turning on when i use the android. Is there a method to sut down the radio of ccc. There is no radio inside the android. But ccc opens radio automaticly ..
Hey bro are you still in houston I need some help coding my ccc to cic unit
hi, where did you buy the android gps? thanks
Hi. I have the following problem: on the oem interface, I cannot deactivate the splitscreen option blocked on the fuel level information. What might be the problem?
I noticed you ran the aux cord into your glove box. Please don't tell me that is the only way to link the sound to the car. What about the line ins and rca cables, can't they be used as the main sound output?
Cool, always nice to see your videos. I'm interested in purchasing one. Please help. How is it working out for you. I love my Android and this would be a perfect match
Where can you order? If anyone knows to help me with that information please. Thank you
eBay
Another great video. Do you have a link to where I can buy one for my e60 535i?
How much memory does it have? Thanks will it do apple CarPlay?
Does anyone have any tips on getting the audio working. I installed the unit and connected the aux cable however the OEM system will not allow me to switch to aux. Works fine with the original unit but not with xtrons. I checked the audio out with headphones and could hear sound just fine. Any solutions? BTW vehicle is a 08 e93.
Hi! Just installed the Android headunit on BMW 5 e60 2007, and the fan in old main headunit keep working after car shut down, or completely close/lock. Any idea why that could be?
Seems to not really be worth it to me.
I have the same android display for my 06 bmw 330i so my mechanic installed the display but no sound the music was playing but no sound. by looking at your video I noticed the aux cable you had needed to be plugged into aux out and ran through the center and plugged into the aux in the armrest. I noticed he didn't do that but I do have a aux in my armrest. It's a new display! We hooked everything but since he rushed it I don't think all the cables are together. Plus my CCC navigation unit has been repaired and coded. Now my sound comes on with the old display but not with the android display I bet it's the aux cord to the armrest. Need help🙏🏼
I accidentally removed the 3 pins that power the fan on the back of the CCC cd unit. I see In Your video when you removed the main quad lock harness you have red tape on them. Are you able to tell me which pins in that 12 pin block the wires are attached to? There is a white data wire then a brown black striped negative and then a red black stripe positive I believe. I forgot to take a picture and now don’t know which to hook them up to. Please help. You can see them just barely at 5:45. Thanks in advance. 🙏🏻
Hi, nice video and nice car transformations that you do.
Just one question in my bmw 330xd e91 touring 2006 i have a ccc the screen know don't have image but the radio works, if I want to upgrade to android I have to buy also a android ccc correct?
you mention there is an app you have to download in order for the phone to connect, which app is it?
Video is great, except this music in background, what disturbe good understanding what you saying. Not of all here are english speaking countries. So please disable music in background. I love music, but here make a problem.
Im thinking about this but my car doesnt have oem camera and wonder how can you install it to work with this android based head unit. Also is it work with an (orm) head-up-display? Also my car only have an aux at the back seats and doesnt have any usb slot. (E60 with big navi, ccc)
Man I wish the sound quality is good ... I don't think I'd be able to sacrifice the sound quality
Abdulla Alblooshi can you explain that please,is the original built-in amp so much better that the sound would be different?
Does it not have a dedicated amp
I agree with you, I paid a premium price for the upgrade Harman speakers in my 328i. I couldn't see giving up that cranking sound.
Hello! Have any idea how to change the boot logo? Mine doesnt have any files/ photos there, its a e90 model. It says “put logo files under the disk root directory”
Hi, never done this before so please bare with me.....I’ve received a ccc Android replacement unit for an 08 335i convertible from China...when I connect the new harness into the back of the cars GPS unit, I can’t get the unit to go back in because of the extra wiring at the back, I’ve tried every way stripping the skin off the top of my hands every time but can’t get the GPS unit back in fully to attach with the four Philips screws. I’ve viewed just about every install video out there but they seem to miraculously skip over this part and seem to slide the unit back in without problem. Any thoughts, tips, prior install experience or general help with this will be greatly appreciated.
I have a sos fault on my dashboard. After install unit. Pls help
Hello I am not able to see my contacts via the bluetooth of the mi 9t pro and I have already put the bluetooth connection with contact sharing, any ideas on how to solve it? I'm also not able to add gps apps, I can install it but it doesn't appear on the list to put it as a default, any ideas? Thanks in advance and some help would be very welcome!
What is the name of the app to download to connect your phone ?
Hi there, just wondering if you can help me out! I fitted an android unit and then installed a reversing camera, all connected but doesn't come up on screen, any advice would be appreciated
How do you get the new cable harness so that it doesn't get in the way with the DVD module? It hits me with the new cable, and I can't get the module to fit. do you leave it in a hole? I'm desperate!☹️😝
i have an android radio built into my e90.
and I converted the optical cable. but now have an emergency malfunction in my dashboard. did I do something wrong and is that error related to the optical cable?
How is this unit different from navifly? Can you chage the skin? The EVO Navifly UI looks better IMO.
Your plates say Texas but your voice says MN, Chicago or upper MI.....
I get MN a lot, never been. From Ontario Canada originally.
13:20 "metric to standart" HAH.... 3 countries still uses imperials AND imperial is based of
metric 😘
No one cares
So much fuss but then it won't work with the car's antenna? Big no no
CCC unit here. 2008 335xi e92.
1 Were you able to get the sound you wanted out of the unit? Since there's a SD card slot, can I assume the new headunit is actually playing the music instead of CCC? Can you configure so the AVIN headunit uses the CCC sound system?
2 Were you able to get the steering wheel controls to work with the AVIN?
Is this kit still available if so could I get a link I just bought an 07 328I Coupe with the same dash set up and monitor system
Honestly, I wouldn't bother. I connected a Tune2Air bluetooth adapter in the center console for bluetooth music and have my phone in the ashtray (fits perfectly, never falls or slides out sideways) I also have a low-profile USB charger in the tray so I can close it without removing it. I wouldn't want to reach for the center touchscreen anyway. Easier to keep the phone separate.
I look at other CCC upgraded units and for some odd reason the OEM display is zoomed in I want a unit that shows it perfectly like this
Hi I already installed the system but the rear camera works but flickering so any suggestions how can I resolved that??thanks
Hello, i got the android 10 gps for my bmw e87 from 2007 with CCC. I installed the gps everything works but when i throw it in reverse i have to go on MY BMW for seeing my parking sensors on my screen. Do you know how i get automaticly on my screen? Nice video btw helped a friend out with your video! Recommend it
My BMW has a stupid Japanese iDrive and its in NZ... and they want $799 to convert the GPS, $399 to do the radio, and another $499 for blutooth intergration...
Any chance this thing will fix that if I swapped it out?
Hi there love ur videos manual trans build is suck i have question my back up camera just start working it say no signal but everything is showing but actual video picture any suggestions thx
Did you connect the camera? If yes did you use the 12v provided by the head unit (there is a cable on mine saying 12v camera). Also there is a pink cable, which says camera sensing or something like that..
You mentioned that you have your default navigation to be WAZE. My default is on an sd card and it is some gps system which came with the android. How do I replace the gps system that came with the android to WAZE?
Thank you
Drink every time he says 'actual' .... You'll lose your college fund
Hey, for your standard Bluetooth audio, how is it plugged in? All I have is the lighter and aux, no USB
I have videos on my channel installing and using this unit. It was for a CIC system not CCC but no matter.
My main complaint about this screen is it has crazy glare. I installed an anti-glare film over top.
i have one problem i installed but no sound
What are your thoughts after having this for a while? Any major likes/dislikes? Considering this for my E61 535...
Please if you can reach out to me I need help with mine
Thanks for the video, good information, I have the unit for my BMW E90 form Avin USA I set it up the other day but I am having a major. Issue similar to what you were talking about in your video about the Bluetooth calling. 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, not the same way you use it off your phone but with a USB CarPlay dongle. 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 on the call over Bluetooth. And if you had the same issue did you find a solution. Also can you get some more detail information about what app and device you are using to mirror your phone. look forward to your answer thank you
Very nice video. It helped me install my device but I have one problem. It does't work to switch over "Menu Button" long press "3s", only tap on the screen "Car-info". Do you know where the problem might be?
There's a thread on this unit, either spoilstreet or boostaddict; someone mentioned y splitter for GPS, and a review of the newer unit with Android 7 having better sound. Great video
Thanks for the info. I've also heard the UI on the Android 7.1 units are not as good. Can anyone confirm or deny?
it's the same UI
Metric to standard... lol
Metric IS standard! :D
