I keep mine bone stock with hidden BT HIFI receiver for AUX Spotify. The only mod I done (i got full black interior) is the Red Cruise button on the steering wheel from M3 Comp. Leave the classic BMW alone with those "modern" changes.

What’s the real life difference between the four different CPU options? There are PX4, PX6 and two different Qualcomm options. I’d like to use fluent apple car play navigation. Will be the PX4 configuration sufficient enough? Also: The base configuration does already include wired apple car play right? I only need to purchase the separate adapter if I need wireless CarPlay. Is that correct?
@m3an467 Жыл бұрын
I can’t speak to the newer CPU options but the PX6 has been great and runs smooth with CarPlay. At the time I got mine, there were two adapter options that needed to be purchased for Apple CarPlay (wired or wireless dongle).

Buyer beware! 1) This company touts”free online tech support”. It is free and it is on line, but nobody available at the time of your install. They’re on line sporadically and around 7-8pm central time. They always refer you back to their install guides which are a little confusing and not user friendly. 2) I’m experiencing poor contrast on sunny days. The display they sell you has brightness control but not contrast. The brightness isn’t as bright as it needs to be. 3) I paid an extra $8 for 7 day shipping because I was excited to install the new display. The display came with a defective cable that prevents the use of my backup camera and completing the installation. The cable was deemed defective the same day and one week later, I still don’t have the replacement cable. So the 7 day shipping I paid for was useless. 4) The USB connection is useless. You can only connect your phone via Bluetooth. 5) DO NOT PURCHASE THIS UNIT IF YOU DO NOT POSSESS AN ABOVE AVERAGE KNOWLEDGE OF ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTERS. There’s quite a bit that you need to tinker with to get this thing half way decent. 6) Just not worth the money. I’m on the process of filing a claim through PayPal.

Hey man, im in need of serious assistance. I need help trying to figure out my Avant 4 unit. All of the videos that i found reguarding this unit are all running the older version of android. I paid a large amount of money to get this unit installed. 1. I need a better instruction of how to install the autoplay carplay application - I have the wireless carplay optiion and im unable to figure out how to use it because the app is not installed ? Do i connect the unit to wifi and install the app directly from the store? ? Do i have to copy the download from the website THIS THING IS SADLY NOT USER FRIENDLY AT ALL - I am also unhappy that i need to use the A2dp app for bluetooth music instead of running it through the head unit "music" section. you say its easy to use, im having such a hard time. I also have the better version the px6 i believe. I also need help editing my screen configuration, all of these apps are present that i dont really need. Please, im honestly in a panic, i have so much money into this system and im unhappy. If you could help me id be so relieved. Let me know. I believe you are the only one able to help.
@m3an4673 жыл бұрын
Hey! No worries. So the wireless CarPlay app was preinstalled for me. If you still need it, I would reach out to AVIN or check their support page on the website to get the app. It’s called AutoPlay. You will need to connect to WiFi and install it directly through the head unit as any other application. All you should have to do after that is plug the CarPlay adapter in the USB port and you should be set. As far as homescreen configuration, I’m not entirely sure as there are some apps you can not remove yourself. That would be a question for AVIN if that’s possible. I’m sure it is but it’s probably a more involved process.

If I have no audio playing I do hear a hissing. But that is the same behavior with event the stock business unit using an AUX port. I don’t hear any sort of distortion when I play audio. One thing I want to adjust is audio levels between sources. Sometime one source is louder than another (Bluetooth vs CarPlay) which can cause distortion (again the same as any unit).
