I installed something similar to this. Im assuming its a knock off but it works fine for what i need (carplay/android auto) and it was only $300!
https://www.wakaa.us/product/8-8-wir...8aArApEALw_wcB The problem im having is getting the backup camera to work. For some reason im getting zero signal. I did use a relay. 30 to battery. 87 to power camera. 86 to blu/blk wire off passenger trunk tailight. 85 to brown ground off trunk taillight. Also the ground for the camera is tapped into the brown ground wire for taillights but not close to the taillights. And the video rca ran to the headunit wire labeled ccd_cvbs. And im getting nothing. I have also tried connecting the red wire (tail)off the rca ( headunit side) to a wire labeled "campower" but nothing as well. Then i tried running a wire tapped into the signal/trigger wire (blu/blk on taillight plug) to the front along the rca and tried it with both the "campower" wire from unit. And to the red wire coming from the rca. And still nothing. Any help would be appreciated. I have been searching for 3 days. Here and other forums. Ive compared notes watched videos. Ill post pictures when i can. Oh BTW my car is a 2011 328xi manual None idrive. None PDC. Base. |

Looks like the old aux is still the only option People say you cant notice a difference.
I tested by connecting phone directly headphone jack to aux playing the same track which i saved on the cic their is a definitely a huge difference in volume and clarity. Maybe going an NBT retrofit would be the go. |

Yea,....yea smh. I have considered that innerblueskies. I really, Really dont want to pull everything and do it all over again. But it is on my list of the last things i may need to do. Right up there with paying someone else to do it.
Can i get a conformation that this is the correct way to wire the relay/reverse cam setup? Any other ideas are more then welcome. Also if anyone knows of a different trigger wire for reverse that could help as well. EDIT*** i got everything working fyi. just wanted to show the fix. .

If you break this connection, and your car has a COMBOX, then the line-in in the center console will be dead, as well as other services as bluetooth. I'm making some assumptions about your specific setup here, but one thing for sure, you need to properly move the MOST connector from the original radio harness location to the piggyback harness. |

I have the new Avin 10.25 screen installed and only use the ZLink Carplay. The head unit will load whatever stock profile it comes with, make all the Bluetooth connections / wifi connections, then it will load Zlink and start the CarPlay app.
Any of you know how I can skip all that nonsense and just have it load straight into ZLink?

whats the app version and mcu? i remember reading that almost everything with the exception of a few of the specs can be faked. josmile was selling fake android 11 units as far back as july..if it was cheap, from a shady seller, you might want to look into it. the legit android 11 units are selling for around 515 usd for the 6gb model, more for the 8gb.

I will double check the app and MCU version and paste them here. Tbh if i`ve been conned (which i kind of expected) i`m really happy with the result! Plus if we manage to find out I was, which i though CPU-Z would have done, I get to make a claim and might get this thing for free |

[QUOTE=Chapperss;28073769]Heres the MCU - TsBMW.210129. Wheres App version?
i think its in settings/system info on the head unit (not in cpuz). it does seem to be an android 11 unit. Im guessing the difference in price comes from the cpu (the newest is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662). |

I can switch to the factory screen with a press of a button and the reverse PDC screen thing comes up straight away when I put it in R. The sound is great, reason i went with this model is it has inbuilt DSP so i`ve now got something like 37 levels/bands to adjust. I do have a filter on my aux from a previous bluetooth mpow device, I`ve left that in as it`s supposed to reduce hiss. Car is sounding really nice and overall i`m happy. I am currently talking to the vendor about an issue with accessibility settings being reset on each boot (means i can't use Tasker properly). They may come up with a fix or I may stumble on a way to do it myself. Also I`ve had an issue with my alarm going off after I unlock the car with the FOB and open the door. I think this may be because I hardwired my Dcan cable and its some kind of OBD2 alarm. Seen the code changes I need to make on here to stop it, just haven`t got round to hooking NCSexpecrt up yet. EDIT 30/09 - Have confirmed this is 100% an issue with the canbus supplied with this headunit - waiting on fix but peeps should be wary if considering a purchase Last edited by Chapperss; 09-30-2021 at 12:44 PM.. |

Has this been reported before when installing an aftermarket unit? I`ve tried to search but have found no corresponding posts. |

I swapped over to a CIC unit and added combox, etc. but I now want to wire the rear camera and it seems the options to get that working stock are a pain. Plus it would be nice to have real Android app, like Pandora, YouTube, etc. with real integration. I may just get this and sell my CIC system off to pay for it. My only concern is that the sound is SOOO good from the fiber optic Logic7 system I am leery about how it will sound using the basic aux input. |

I`d say you`ll probably lose a lot, but you could check by plugging a high quality music source in to the aux and seeing how it sounds. |
