Thanks!

You try without it plugged i. Also did u move the two green fiber optics to the plug of the MMI?

After updating to iOS 16, my iPhone will not establish CarPlay with the unit no matter what I do. I've tested with two iPhones (13 Mini and 13 Pro) that previously worked with this unit, and neither wants to work with CarPlay (Bluetooth pairs, but the CarPlay prompt never appears on the phone, and the device never shows up under CarPlay on the unit).

Anyone else experience this?

I would re-pair everything in Bluetooth. And in the MMI.

no issues with iOS16 upgrade.

Hi mate, my model on the box is EWM-BMCP-NBT04X not AN-BMCP-NBT04X is it ok to flash your custom firmware? Cheers Edit: It's all ok mate just updated! Many thanks but is there a way to make maps full screen instead of having a second app on the left side if that makes sense! Cheers

Sorry! Read this when half awake. Glad the update is ok. I run apple CarPlay so I don’t know about Android Auto. I have found this though which seems to suggest you can enable this. https://droidrant.com/how-do-i-make-android-auto-full-screen/

Hope it helps!!

Is the "HK hack" mentioned in this thread just mean using the OEM bluetooth for phone/music while using the carplay/aa UI? Spent quite a while searching this thread and didn't find a clear answer

If so, is there a trick to getting this to work more permanently? For me it seems to work for some time then ultimately I have to re-pair everything or switch back to AUX.

[oem.plus_440gc]

Just installed what was advertised as a RoadTop MMI box for my 2019 F36 so I could get Android Auto.

Everything is working great when it is connected via USB and I've gotten it to continue working when USB is then disconnected, but it will not connect to my phone wirelessly for AA without being wired first. It connects fine to the bluetooth, but doesn't seem to want to connect to the MMI wifi for wireless AA.

Any thoughts? I'd really like to not use the wire.

Here is the info I have:

SDK Version: 25.0.0.7.0.0.2.0
CUST Version: ER169R1
MCU Version: 22.5.14.118
HW Version: B_E_G

Technically yes, that's what it means, however you ALWAYS have to use AUX setting on the idrive menu. Just set oem bluetooth to phone AND music. Then mmi box to use cars bluetooth setting. You should also increase the streaming bitrate on your phone to maximum.

[yer-eye-uh]

Thanks. If you are using AUX, what is accomplished by setting the OEM BT to music/phone rather than just phone? Music through the OEM BT sounds better to my ears which I assumed was due to a low quality DAC in the MMI.

My main issue is the "Use OEM bluetooth for calls" setting in the MMI seems to stop working intermittently. I lose call/siri audio without being on AUX unless I start a call and switch audio output from "CarPlay" to "BMW ####" in the phone itself.

[SebbiSt]

Your Audio Source has to be set to "Aux". For Siri & Calls the trick is following:

1. Siri works, if you trigger it via the iDrive Controller (just press & hold while MMI CarPlay is open). With the "HK Hack" Siri via steering does not work for me.

2. Obviously the iPhone is switching call-audio to the device you are using for the call. Therefore DO NOT initiate/answer calls via CarPlay MMI. You have to do this via the BMW System.

Audio source should not matter for OEM BT calls, no? OEM HU will layer calls on to any input.

I always use the steering wheel controls to answer/initiate calls/siri. OEM behavior generally works (long press=siri, short press=BMW voice). But that's a good idea, thanks. It's possible that I answered via the UI (steering wheel dial instead of phone button) without realizing and it switched the phone over to carplay instead of BT. I would consider that a bug in the MMI though

I may be missing something because I'm still not clear on what the "hack" is since "use OEM BT for calls" is a feature of the MMI

If you have Harmon Kardon, your OEM bluetooth is utilizing it from your phone, if you don't, it just uses the MMI interface.

As a tip, increase the bitrate transfer from your phone to the highest level. From within whatever music app you are using, go to settings and change it. This also really makes a difference in sound.

The software version looks like the Andream A version.

Here's the latest version that I got from the seller:

Hey everyone,

I've got an Andream NBT EVO B-version Box on my F32 running android auto with the E_1.6.9R2 firmware.

Been having a weird situation lately, which was prior to installing my current firmware.

From time to time the phone stops automatically pairing with the box. I found out that the reason for this was because the wifi and bluetooth of the box changed the name and I had to pair everything again.

You can seem from the screenshot bellow that it has, in 3 days, assumed 3 different bluetooth names, all of which start with EW-CP8.

Since this happened only from time to time, I paid little attention to it.

But this has been becoming ever more frequent and I don't know why.

Does anyone know why this keeps happening ?
