Avin USA 10.25 android system install DIY

fssaez · 02-08-2018, 03:45 AM

So all they did in that update was to remove the button. The jan version had already added the new car type.

anyone know how to reboot the system without the need to have an app that requires to the system to be rooted?

I will be posting the 2gen review video I just uploaded into another thread to keep it separate from this DIY install video thread.

All in all, the 2gen resolved any issues I had (1. OEM backup camera not showing in reverse when on the Android side (only) and 2. Screen mirroring never connecting to my phone though I know it worked fine for others) and I am overall really pleased with the update.

For anyone who sees the "no signal" message or even from time to time from the iDrive side, make SURE the original (purple) optical cable into the back of the new display is fully clicked into place. I have had a couple of people comment on my video with that issue, and found the cable wasn't FULLY locked in, so caused the issue and once found, never had a problem again.

Sure? Tommys admitted this is a software issue not hardware.

Just saying make sure to check the cable even if you think it is plugged in.. had more than a few folks on my videos check that and see their version of the issue resolved. Not saying only fix, just a first place to check.

does the Id6 not work with 1gen units

Hello guys, I have a problem with the front camera I installed, the misaligned steering wheel guidelines appear to me, as well as other 2 fixed lines that have nothing to do with it.

It does and is there in the build if you have one of the more recent build updates.. just go into factory settings and look for "mode" under ARM settings.

Do you have the front facing camera plugged into the correct video feed in? There is one for the backup camera, and one for the front called DVR IN, assuming you are using an RCA style plugged camera and not USB.

yes, it is an RCA connector connected to the connector for the backup camera

Right.. this is a front facing camera or a backup camera you have installed?

Looks like the camera itself and the h/u are supplying guide lines. Check your camera, some have a cable to snip if you want to disable built in guide lines.

Ok but i don't understand why the steering lines are not centered with those of the camera but are shifted to the left.

Anyone have an idea on how to fix the GPS? I have a GPS splitter and after about 10 days of the signal getting picked up, it now is acting up again. Sometimes if I turn it off and on, it'll pick up the signal, but it is becoming more and more inconsistent. The GPS for the OEM is fine, just on the android side.

That is why I always bring a reset pin and place it inside the center armrest compartment.

Like any other mobile device, it needs a good reset when acting up.

As a practice, once started up I still do a pin reset before I go and everything will be fine.

Should not be that way. But you learn to adapt when there are no clear answers from support.

Hello everyone, I have the Gen2. I have a 2 issues with it, not very big issues but issues. Is it normal for me to be on the Android side and move around using the iDrive controls, the Idrive side is also moving along the menus...any workaround for that? Also any way to disable the backup camera all together? I dont have an OEM or aftermarket camera installed and every time I switch to reverse, the screen changes into the iDrive side.

No idea on the first issue but for the second one (assuming your car never came with a backup camera) just select the 'original camera' option. That will stop it going to a 'no signal' screen from the option camera.

Thanks, i tried it and the screen goes into the idrive side and all the music cuts off until I put it back in drive, I believe I read that somewhere else too. Not too big of a problem.
The first issue could be a problem though, I sometimes switch back to the android side only to find out im in the Audio settings moving stuff around without knowing.

taryxx · 02-13-2018, 08:17 AM

has anyone fitted this system having the 6.5 inch monitor first? and after update has extended display or should you code?

Yes, and it does a split screen. The left side is the original idrive screen and the right is frankly kind of useless. Hopefully the can make it something useful in the future. In the latest update, there is a way to stretch the idrive screen, but I think that would look cartoonish. When you’re on the Avin side, the screens all look great and take up the whole screen.

I hadn't noticed that the music cuts out entirely. On mine I'm sure it just plays the reverse bleeps over the music and fades the music to almost inaudible levels.

I'll play around with it later!
