1. In the earlier pages, I read that people are dremeling something? What is that referring to? Is the navifly units not a direct fit for the 8.8 CCC professional?
-I believe the new versions are perfect fit
2. Will the 2 button CCC idrive controller be sufficient for this?
-Still unsure about this
3. Being a 6speed manual, I read that we have to create a connection (12v) somewhere to trigger it in R or does this https://www.amazon.com/COROTC-Compat...ct_top?ie=UTF8 camera not require it based on the 12v to 3v?
- A relay most likely is needed to not have flicker etc. I have a pre-lci and some users say the reverse light is good enough.
4. Does the Carplay USB Adapter charge the iphone as well? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=ANVW61FB1ZGIJ
Carplay USB adapters DO NOT offer a good charge which is why todd used https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to have a powered hub. does anybody have an alternative as the product is discontinued and can't find a similar one.
5. Does the airplay transmit audio? I read somewhere it must connect via bluetooth?
Still unsure
Thanks guys! |
1. It really needs to be modified to fit the opening. The bottom right corner of the screen bezel touches the hard molded plastic on my car. See video at the 13:06 mark.
The holes on the top mounting screws do not line up, most likely due to the screen bezel issue.
I managed to squeeze the screen and forced the screen to barely align with the mounting screws.
I have the newer 7.1 Android unit but the housing is the old design.
2. I have a single button CCC 'menu' and it works without issues.
3. I have a E90 pre lci and I've run a wire from the reverse light to trigger the +12V, my aftermarket camera is +12V so I don't have any issues.
4. I don't use CarPlay, as I'm using an Android phone.
5. I'm not sure if your referring to iOS.
