Adding Carplay/Android Auto + Wireless Charging to our E92 M3 - Induktiv + Mr12Volt Install + Review

[@1seipai]

This is a fantastic product, which I thoroughly recommend! Evolve fitted it to my e92 M3 on Monday 12th February. I had a android auto unit that had been added by a previous owner. It was horrendous and didn't work! This meant that it took longer to fit. They also managed to make sure the rear camera worked! As well as this they showed me some of their cars like the e90 M3 CRT. Amazing! 👌

Ive been dailying my 2011 e92 m3 for 3 years now. Red line the hell out of it every day. I of course done rod bearings though.

[@SM_TheTraveller]

Nice to see you wearing Maharishi . Brings back memories ❤

[@rossfripp4503]

I've got an Integrated Automotive system in my E90 LCI M3, which is also very good. To switch between it and idrive you press and hold the menu button for 3secs. It defaults to idrive unless it detects your phone (which is always!), in which case it defaults to the Integrated Automotive system.

[@incartechie]

Huge upgrade to the car - great job!

[@stumonkey17]

Great bits of kit that will make a big difference to usability. Nice watch choice too 👍

[@Hcarmad]

Perfect way to modernise the V8 beast 👌🏽

Nice quality of life mods for the E92.

[@daveblack1000]

would be interested to see what youd do with audio upgrades

[@SuperMBARutgers2013]

Unless, you have the base speakers, the amplifier is probably a better focal point to upgrade

[@Jimmy_on_the_sticks]

One day I will have one of these beasts! Off topic what glasses are you wearing. They looks great

[@arnyt4568]

is there something similar with like a screen that can fit in an m3/135i that doesn't have the idrive with the screen

SUPERB. Would you please ship it to Luanda the Capital of Angola!!

[@archracing4567]

Awesome video. Thank you.

[@CostelTarata]

How do you change the status bar, from left to right? What settings im supposed to look for? Great video !!!

[@EvolveAutomotive]

From memory it’s in the Mr12Volt settings, I don’t have one to hand right now but have a little look in there and hopefully you can find it.

[@lagundafire]

Interested to know how the wireless charger gets on. I’ve found wireless charging to generally be disappointingly bad even in modern cars

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We’ve extensively tested this on 3 hour journeys whilst using wireless carplay, not only was it adding around 20% battery per hour but also not making the phone super hot. Really impressed.

[@lagundafire]

@@EvolveAutomotive thank you!

[@spijo_msa]

Is it possible to integrate an aftermarket camera to the E92 M3 with the Mr12Volt?

[@MrKamJ]

I did email the sales team a week ago about the carbon version of the wireless charger as its sold out, no response sadly.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Apologies, just checked and it had somehow found its way in to our spam folder. Now replied.

[@samsackville6593]

Very clean install. Does music stop if you go back to iDrive?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

It does not no

[@J0lker]

Music is nice but i don't have a clue what is happening in the assembly- the cables, doing something in the headliner, in the trunk- would be nice if you could put some explanation text, thanks.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Mr12Volt have an instructional video, this isn’t a DIY tutorial, just showing what’s involved.

[@barrywakefield4942]

Check out ‘Stone Automotive’ on YT - he has just posted a DIY video to install one of these to an E92 M3.

[@LewisTcakes]

Really miss Android Auto in my M2C, This seems like a decent option.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We'll be doing a video on the F series cars, but as an android user it's going to be great to get it in the F87 M2!

[@ozzygiritli]

I have the one older model of mr12volt, the blue box with equaliser. Seems like they changed to a harness splitter without having to split the idrive controller connector. Im wondering if they fixed the audio feedback issue when calling with android auto. Basically, if you call someone with android auto, the reciever hears their voice echo. Doesnt happen with carplay. Also, only happens if you dont connect to the cars native bluetooth as if you do, the call routes to the idrive rather than through the mr12volt. Also does the oem mic splitter give clear audio? I had issues with the older provided mic.

[@retrok33455]

Does it retain the factory chime?

[@paulburns4209]

Is there a non OEM product for a M2C available from evolve?

[@ShelbyPaget]

which MR12Volt setup/kit do I purchase for my 2010 E92 m3 comp that preserves the sound quality of the BOSE system?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Drop us an email on [e-mail], sounds like you need the CIC one but we need to know what’s fitted to your car to ensure fitment

[@anuragrajagopal7553]

is there a wireless charger that incorporates an OEM style cover over the charging tray?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

The tray that has the lid is smaller than the one without so it wouldn’t fit a larger phone in.

[@anuragrajagopal7553]

@@EvolveAutomotive hi there would an iphone 14 Pro fit in the tray with the lid? is there a link to this tray?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

They don’t make one with a lid because of the size restriction.

Say I'm using CarPlay on my '08 E92 M3 (CCC) and playing music through Pandora, will the "Next" button on the steering wheel change the song?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

It should control whatever is playing on your iPhone yes

[@MyloShwayze]

Would love to do this to my e70 x5 m sport. Will this same kit work with the cic in that?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

It should do yes

[@MrMetsfan67]

Do you guys have any issues with the induktiv unit? I've had it installed in my car and find it very finicky. My phone doesn't quite sit right in the tray (iPhone 15 pro), if it's even the slightest bit off center it won't charge, and I often get a heat warning on my phone. It also just doesn't charge my phone very often - it'll only up it by 1 or 2 percent throughout the course of a drive. Have you guys ever considered making a MagSafe compatible version of this solution?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We haven’t had any issues no, it works really well in our experience! Easily charging the phone without getting too hot even when using wireless CarPlay/Android auto. What I would say is that all the phones we have tried are bigger than yours and are held in place by being pretty much the size of the tray, which means they’re super secure. Unsure if Induktiv plan to update this charger to be MagSafe like the F3/8x charger, but in my experience it makes no difference between the two other than the onscreen animation of MagSafe.

[@ramey.street]

Thinking of doing this upgrade in my 2011 E92 M3. Is the wireless charger station able to hold an IPhone 15 Pro Max?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

It is yes, the phone showed is a 14 Pro Max which is the same size as your 15 Pro Max

[@MotorenMatze]

Mr12Volt will not work on BMW F25 X3 with CIC although they list in on their website. Support of Mr12Volt is really bad and will not help.

[@transworld6880]

Why can’t we buy the wireless upgrade? Says not found

[@Hassanw9]

Do you make this for the E60? I have a port in front which I don’t use and have Apple CarPlay but wanted wireless charging like this

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Induktiv are bringing out more models in the coming year, I believe E60 is one of them

[@GGdevelopment]

Will this fit all e90's? I have a e93

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Yes it will

[@eptdy]

Why did you guys bypass the factory amp?😊

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We didn’t? What was installed in the rear was a loop for the CD changer

[@raudi.audirs]

Can you still use the CD player if you want to?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Haven’t tested it but I think the main CD drive yes, but if you had a CD changer that gets disconnected/replaced.

[@CovKid2K10]

I have the mr12volt in my e92 but did not connect any loop in the boot as shown in your vid, what was that loop for??

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Possibly you have an earlier model that doesn’t use the MOST bus? It’s to enable the CD changer loop that it uses.

[@CovKid2K10]

Mines a 59 plate CIC car with no cd changer. When I installed the system via most, i thought it needed coding but it just seemed to work instantly, so I left the loop in the box. Strange!

[@oneilmcdonald7186]

I have a 2011 535i f10 What is the price for both upgrades thank u

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Induktiv do not make a wireless charger for your car, but you can find the Mr12Volt on our website - www.evolveautomotive.co.uk/collections/mr12volt

[@oneilmcdonald7186]

@@EvolveAutomotive ok thank u I appreciate it 👍🏾

[@knighriderredux]

Great vid as always. Did you guys need to do any coding like enabling the CD changer or did you just need to use the loop and the CIC will pick it up? I have a 2010 E90 M3 with the same setup (no cd changer), but can't get a straight answer from anyone.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

You must code the CD changer option if your car does not already have one.

[@knighriderredux]

@@EvolveAutomotive Thanks for the info. Now I have to see if this Bimmercode app can do it.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

It can.

Is it definitely wireless android auto? For some reason lots of the aftermarket systems are wireless carplay and wired android

Don’t most wireless chargers in cars just overheat your phone? Especially ones on BMWs. EDIT: Just caught the part where you addressed it ^ CarPlay is a good idea though!

Is this compatible with CCC(‘08 e9X)?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

There is a CCC variant, the biggest difference will be the iDrive screen resolution is lower so it won’t look quite as crisp.

Wireless charging is a myth. Heats ul phone, slow, bad for phone battery, temperamental, you need to move the phone around till it starts to charge . Give me a cable any day of the week

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Having used this pretty extensively for 3-4 hour journeys whilst using wireless CarPlay I can confirm it works really well, adding about 20% battery an hour on an iPhone 14 Pro Max. Is it slower and generate more heat than a cable? 100%, that’s just physics. But the convenience is great and the Induktiv works so much better than the G8X BMW OEM systems!

[@DaleSteel]

E92 m3 and e60 m5 are not good cars to daily. Too old. Too fragile. Engines are too close to been race engines. Tolerances too tight and not an engine you want to be running around daily. That's from someone who owns one

[@jarami06]

Did it for 4yrs and was a blast. Expensive on gas and tires but other than that it’s a solid way to burn some post work stress.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

If you can afford the fuel bill and warm it up correctly they make just as good of an everyday car now as they did when new. However while these upgrades would be great day to day, we did them for weekend enjoyment. Because it’s incredibly annoying to either have a phone mount or rely on outdated slow maps when out enjoying the car. Roadtrips etc this would be a must have for us.

[@darrenboston342]
