It looks like Seicane upgrade their units to have an Android 8.0, 8core processor and 4GB of ram, but they don't seem to offer the screen replacement one, just the non-factory nav conversion in the dash. Screen resolution is still 1024*600.
Increase specs and a 720p or 1080p screen and i'd probably buy an AVIN to try. |

Did you ever end up getting the CIC idrive controller setup? Quote:

I did and just installed it yesterday. It's direct plug and play with my CCC system (05/2008 build date.) I'd like to find some way to remap the buttons, however. Until then, the only real advantage it has over the CCC controller on the Android side is I can click the Nav button to go directly to my Carplay app. "Back" is also useful because it goes back to whatever app you had open. I mostly go between Carplay and the JB4 Mobile app, so button clicks is a lot easier than going into apps and scrolling for the JB4 app, etc.

For anyone with the CarPlay adapter. Does idrive controls work. Did you have to configure them? My zbox app allows me to bind keys but it will only detect left or back. And they both give the same key code. If I would get this working things would be awesome.
Can you send me a link to the exact one you bought and which app it uses. |

I’ll report back on my Zbox experience when I get it. The unit I have now is marketed by Naviup on Amazon. |

Also when I hit the voice command button on the steering wheel it will launch the nav app in android but will also invoke the voice activation on my CIC. Can anyone confirm if theirs does this as well? Quote:
For your second question I dont know how to answer that. |

So I'm ready to give up. I can't seem to get this system to play well with my retrofited CIC emulator.
At random the emulator will crash, which makes the CIC hang. After rebooting the CIC since the emulator is still crashed none of the features work with it, not even the idrive control. Required an unplug/plug of the emulator to boot it back up. When it does work the dynamic lines from the emulator look completely screwed like bad TV reception. I'm not going to sacrifice native functionality for this so I guess I have no choice but to return the unit and roll everything back. |

So I have been reading a few pages back, trying to find out if this new version ADVIN is compatible with the MHD APP? Can I run the MHD gauges on it, or even load maps using the ADVIN unit?
PS My car did not come with factory display unit or iDrive feature. Can I still install ADVIN and have close to factory iDrive features? Have a 2011 E90 335i LCI

I'm sure the new unit will work even better. You don't need factory iDrive to run the android HU but you'll have to retrofit iDrive buttons they provide.

With the old version you cannot flash using the MHD app on the HU. It causes the HU to reboot. No idea about the newer version but I doubt this issue was addressed.

The ground wire is about long enough to reach the ash tray area. You will also need to extend this wire to reach the aux in. |

So I am not really an audio guy, and have afew questions to understand this better before I start the project....
The new unit, 7.1, with the new audio chip its putting out 4x48, and this bypassses the OEM amp on the 676? If this is right, how does it allocate the channels for 8 speakers, and how does the sound quality compare to the CCC/CIC/OEM Amp say, hifi OEM, and also how does it compare to an aftermarket solution, a PP82DSP or 600/6? Does the new audio chip produce better sound then say a PP82DSP? Also, say you have a PP82DSP, how easy is it to bypass the headunit to use the dps for processing and wattage? Cheers |

I'll leave it to the real audio guys to chime in on the various aftermarket solutions. The simple answer for sound allocation is simply that it is treated like any other analog input, and the BMW amp - whichever one you have - handles everything else. That said, the Android unit I have does offer some level of digital processing. The 3-band EQ on the Android side would not affect sound otherwise. I did not have experience with the older 4.4 units, but I will say that this sounds every bit as good as the stock system. |

OK if anyone is interested in buying this unit from me I am going to sell it. Given the compatibility issues with my retrofit CIC emulator I just can't be bothered to try any longer to get this to work.
This is the 8.8" CIC/CCC version. So you need to have idrive already. I paid $570 CAD less than a month ago for the unit. In addition to that I purchased the following: -anti glare screen protector $30 -GPS splitter $15 -Carplay dongle $80 -2 x USB fakra cables (so you can used the car's usb ports in armrest and glovebox as your inputs if you choose) $15 Specs: - Android 7.1 - 32GB storage - Has the good audio chip not the crappy one people have been talking about from earlier models. If interested PM me and make me an offer. I'm located in Waterloo, Ontario Canada and I can ship. Thanks. Last edited by ssshake; 08-23-2018 at 01:37 PM.. |

The only reason I'd consider buying from someone like Avin is the presumption that they are based out of north america and for some reason that means they provided a better level of customer support than an aliexpress vendor. However the sounds of it on the forums is the customer service from Avin isn't good at all. My few interactions with them over email backs that up. So given that I'm going to get poor support no matter what, I decided go the route which would save me $100 or so. p.s. FWIW the unit itself works as well as an unofficial android unit should. Integrates with the car as expected (idrive controller, steering wheel, camera with dynamic lines, an idrive-like interface etc). It has its quirks as expected, it has its mounting screw hole tolerance issue that everyone is reporting, it has a glossy screen that needs anti glare film. But otherwise the thing is what it's supposed to be. It's just the fact that my idrive system is a retrofit and the damned emulator required for nav, pdc and cam won't work with the android system connected. Some conflict over canbus. And losing these functions from idrive isn't an option for me. BTW apple carplay is seriously good even without idrive controller support. |
