Apple CarPlay on CIC?
Has anyone managed to install Apple CarPlay onto CIC using 3rd party vendors?
From what I have seen, the only company so far offering this service is unichip. Anyone have any experience with them? I would much rather go with proven company then some random 3rd party Update: 2/7/2020 So just to update this for anyone searching for this info. Joyeauto sells a retrofit unit for about $420 (at the time of this typing) which allows wireless full screen apple carplay integration with CIC units. The unit uses existing car functionality (controllers, screen, buttons) except for microphone. https://www.joyeauto.com/product/bmw...face-retrofit/ And there is also another potential solution from Andream. They list their product as also offering wireless apple carplay with full screen. https://www.android-car-dvd.com/coll...32066140438664 They list their system as supporting CIC systems on e60, f10, etc. However, they do not list e90 CIC. I am confused as to why they would not list e90 as CIC systems between e60 and e90 should be the same. This system also allows camera add on for about $15 for total cost of $300. They have a separate android unit. Another note: this unit also allows reverse camera add on for about $50. Apparently it is just a plug and play. With this features added to your car, it brings any e90 CIC equipped car into 2018 tech world Last edited by W37V; 02-07-2020 at 11:57 AM.. |

I mean you could retrofit an NBT EVO to your car but that will run $2,000 DIY.
I am talking with a few Chinese Manufactures about the Car Play emulators. Last edited by Nickco43; 09-26-2018 at 07:01 PM.. |

Yes I did with an Apple TV. You need a HDMI to composite converter, pin the audio to your audio in center council, pin the video to fbas1 or 2 on CIC and code TV into CIC with appropriate fbas values for video input. Best you can get is 480p. If you have hotspot on your phone bobs your uncle and you have TV and mirror. Oh yeah video in motion will be required.

I’d love to have CarPlay on my 2011 330xi. I would use it for maps and music, but I’m wary about spending a couple of hundred dollars on a box from China that nobody has tried as far as I can tell.

I was curious about this in 2015 and it wasn't possible then. 2009 e93 with CIC, and then I had the bluetooth upgrade (used to only receive calls, no media) as well as rear camera installed.
I also found the unichip online but some of their photos show as the UI being stretched and then videos i found were in chinese for installing, but like you, not really any feedback on how it all works. |

Ah ok. I may take the leap then...my only other question was how to hook up a rear view camera to this box like it says in the description. Their customer service rep was pretty useless in answering that question.

So, I just came across this thread, and I thought that I might would chime in. I bought the unit from the seller on Ali Express and installed it a week or so ago. I'm trying to get a video made of the UI/UX, but if you guys have any specific questions, let me know. So far, I love it, the only thing I don't like is that when Siri speaks, the audio quality isn't the best, but that's kind of how all of the aftermarket ACP devices are.
