No, I dont have one in my F30. I just got the F30 and have been researching my options and this is the only one I've seen with different hardware than the Avin.

My last car, a MK6 GTI - I had a android stereo and it used the same hardware as this one from topnavi for the F30 though.

Just got the latest update from Avin, unfortunately it's the same firmware which was posted a few weeks ago on here so no changes for me and it still has the no signal bug as that happen again for me today.

I also have the 'updated' CarPlay application but can't say I have noticed any difference as yet.

Does it keep asking for default device prompts for car play?

I had not used it enough and today it's bricked my car play, the phone now reports the autobox as an unsupported device and won't connected emailed Avin who said to reboot the phone and box but no joy and my wife's iPhone 7 won't connect to it either so I would avoid the update for the moment ill try it again tomorrow but if it still not working ill be sending it all back as the only real thing I use it for is carplay so if that doesn't work its useless for me

Some good news guys. For those without enhanced Bluetooth I managed to add a few things that greatly improved audio quality. I'm not responsible if your unit breaks or explodes from doing the following. If you're not techy maybe avoid this.its not too difficult but it can break your device.

1. Root with king root
2. Use supersume to get rid of king root and install super su
3. Install flashfire
4. Download ainur Nero zip
4. Download james dsp zip
5. Download viper4android apk
6. Use flashfire to install both zip files one at a time( it will reset in between)
7. Install viper4android
8. Set all the avin audio eq settings to 0
8. Mess with all the settings and enjoy significantly improved sound quality

There are still some crackles every once and a while but it's so much better in terms of clarity and fullness. Makes me a little less sad for buying this unit.

There where no change logs for the CarPlay application and no further response from Avin, I've tried an old iPhone 5 I had and that still works with it but my phone has blocked the device.

I also downloaded RemixOS so I can run the CarPlay adapter from my laptop and I have the same issue (Works fine on the old iPhone but not my iPhone 7 Plus with latest iOS updates) so I know it's my phone that's now blocked the device. I've ordered a Zbox which seems to be another device that does the same thing hopefully they have better support.

Make sure you are using the right email.
I've tried, got request number, but nobody is still answering since weeks...
Send some other but still nothing.
So I have since december a device that I cant use. I spent 600$ instead of some china ware because I hoped that I will at least get some support.
NOTHING.

What kind of joke is that?

hi
i purchased lately from avin usa the 2nd generation f android system, I am not sure but I think at the beginning the volume was ok after that I updated the firmware to 22.11.2017 and ever since the volume is almost flat and very low, I tried to change settings no luck, I contacted avin didn't get response, do you have any idea how can i solve this does downgrade the firmware can help, where can I find more firmware to try is this relevant to the MCU?

Is anyone else unable to read sensors in Torque? Mine won't read oil temp. I'm using the version of Torque Pro I downloaded from the Avin supplied link. I wonder if I downloaded and paid for the version directly from the Google Play Store if it would be any different.

Hi guys,

Hope you don't mind me posting here - I have the below unit in my bmw e92 CCC and have a couple of issues/queries I am hoping you can help with.

1) I have the GPS splitter which seems very temperamental. It worked when I first connected it but now my android unit isn't receiving GPS signal. Is this a known issue?

2) What is the latest MCU? My unit appears to be running one from July.

3) Is it possible to change which application is assigned to the music menu?

It won't read the oil temp whatever version you use.

Hi guys, I have contacted avinusa for an update of their software and they anwser me that :
NOTE: This software update is ONLY for the 8.8" and 10.25" BMW Android monitors.

AVINUSA.COM_BMW_EVO_Software_Update_02-07-2018
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Euv...ew?usp=sharing


Changelog:

1. The non working "Voice Assistant" button has been removed from the Android menu.

2. For those coming from the smaller 6.5" factory monitor. There are a new CAR TYPE settings in the factory menu that lets you stretch the 6.5" UI to use the full screen. This does stretch the UI so it will look as such. We recommend continuing to use the 6.5" option with the split screen.


To change the UI to the new ID6 go into the factory settings menu and change MODE.

Google Apps needs to also be enabled in the factory settings menu after this update is complete.


BMW EVO Update Instructions
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5c...ew?usp=sharing



I will test this tomorrow.

What about the Apple CarPlay software? Did they do an update as well with a change log as well? Everything works fine but it still shows the usb default pop up every time I turn it on and Siri picks up fine but messes up only when I try to text using Siri
