AVIN Avant 4 Radio REVIEW BMW e46

This video is review of the AVIN USA Avant 4 radio for the BMW e46. This fits any BMW e46 whether it has the factory NAV or not. It also supports the Harmon Kardon sound system along with the factory steering wheel controls. I highly suggest this radio for any BMW e46. This radio also supports Apple carplay and I-BUS app. Both are fully supported with a USB adapter.

Who did your install

[@13killa69]

Love the video! I can't wait to get me one, thanks Evan 🤟🏾

[@onlytrades3941]

Thanks for the review man!

[@victorn325i]

Evan, your review is truly fantastic! I am a geek at heart and love all the features -more than what I would ever expect. The deal-breaker for me is the lack of HD radio integration. It's a shame since the Avant 4 is on sale right now!

[@EvanGoyuk]

I honestly don’t miss HD radio since I usually use my phone.

[@marvelghost]

This is a great review.

[@gorkemguler313]

Everything is too expensive in our country, which is sad for me, and getting this system is almost equal to my 4-month salary, it is also not available here, it just makes me happy to see that we have at least what we want with the videos you have prepared

[@boycenyanga8742]

Looks really good🤩🤩🤧

[@jarneboesmans9677]

I love the video. I bought one and i am working on my sound setting but it still sounds verry cheap quality for me.. I did not have that with my pioneer. Is this a problem with these radio’s that they have poor sound quality? I do love everything else

[@yhp99]

Thanks for the review! Do you know how to automatically lower the radio volume when its in reverse? Cant seem to find it anywhere

[@subliimax]

Just got mine for a Christmas and I’m getting ready to install! Can you drop the part number on that HVAC relocation piece? I’m loving how clean your install looks. Thanks for the vid

Heya evan nice review of our radio.. didnt know about getting the Nav distance to next turn come up in cluster! How do u do that? And distance to empty be good too

[@EvanGoyuk]

You need to enable in the app. There is a setting. You also need use navigation like google maps on the device

[@faeztamman9603]

Hi.. excellent video.. I just installed the i bus module.. if you can pl guide me how to get "Light control " working..? i mean the procedure.. it lights up the lights but no blinking.. Thanks

[@brianarenstam8226]

You've done some great videos! I have a 2001 325Ci convertible that I bought last year from the original owner with 58k miles on. The big thing is I wanted to add BT capability for music and phone calls. I installed a Grom BT and the sound quality sucks and the phone connection is hit or miss at best. I started looking for a better solution and found BlueBus through the E46 forum. However, looking at the price of BlueBus plus a factory mic I started to wonder if a new head was a better solution. The key for me is to keep it looking as original as possible. I found the Dynavin , Eonon and now Avant. The main thing I want is BT phone connectivity and the ability to use Pandora while keeping it looking stock. I don't know about and haven't used Android Auto (I have an LG V30). Relocating the ventilation is not a problem, I know what I need to buy for that. My thinking is to go with the PX6 and microphone. The IBUS feature look cool but I am hesitant about cutting to the factory harness. Your thought would be appreciated.

[@billbennett2859]

Evan, what options would you recommend paying extra for when ordering this unit from AVIN? My car is 2002 E46 M3 convertible.

[@Yb29-96]

Great video bro! I just have a question it might sound stupid a little, do I need Android Auto/car play, if I my phone is Android or is it pointless?

[@EvanGoyuk]

Not a stupid question at all, android auto is a driver extension of your phone and displays all your phones information in an easy to read way on your headunit. I highly recommend it

[@diogobrito2192]

Hi! Many thanks for the video. Can you turn the screen off (but keeping the radio on) while driving?

Love the video. Two thumbs up. But now the question, Eonon or Avant? Pros and cons? Anybody?

[@EvanGoyuk]

Avant hands down

[@mickeystandbee]

I know you recommend it over the dynavin but can you maybe list some pros/cons for this over the dynavin? I see sometimes the touchscreen has some issues, does that happen frequently? Also, do you have a video of all the programming you set to this radio with key integrations etc?

[@EvanGoyuk]

I didn’t have to program the key integration.

[@robot_san]

Hi - I have a very similar Android HU branded as an Erisin. These Avin units look extremely similar, and even the apps in your review (such as the EQ one) are identical on the chinese units. I'm wondering if the difference is in build quality? The two knobs at the bottom left and right - are they rubbery like the OEM BMW satnav, or hard plastic like the Erisin/other chinese HUs? Also, does it have functioning speed-sensitive volume? I used to love that on the OEM stereo! Also how is the wifi reception? The Erisin unit doesn't pick up the Wifi from my house when the car is on the drive.

[@andreamitchell4758]

FINALLY a radio with android auto i wish you didn't have an iphone because i would really liked to have seen a demo of android auto working on this unit

[@EvanGoyuk]

Sorry! Sometimes I wish I had an Android phone in general 😆

[@gg6k]

Does this unit have a feature that once you put your car in reverse, the radio automatically displays the image from the backup camera? Also if so are the lines dynamic or static?

[@jsondag]

Great vid! Why did you go AVIN over Eonon, SWTNVIN, or any of the other brands that have units that look and function like this one? I am about to buy.

[@EvanGoyuk]

Avin has the best quality control and the best customer support. I recommend them over all them.

[@jsondag]

@@EvanGoyuk Thanks for your response! Subscribed. I am buying this now and there are a lot of upgrade options. What (if any) upgrades did you spring for? Are there any you wish you would have got now that you've had the unit for a few months? Thanks again!

[@EvanGoyuk]

I definitely recommend the carplay/ android auto adapter and the ibus adapter

[@jsondag]

@@EvanGoyuk Did you spring for the wireless Carplay adapter *[Black adapter (Support wireless CarPlay) +$99.99]*? I am thinking about it pretty seriously, especially since it's just $30 more.

[@EvanGoyuk]

Definitely go for the wireless one

[@duubow]

Do you recall how you got the backup camera to not come up.. I don't have a backup camera but it still blacks out the screen when putting it in reverse

[@edgarcastilla02]

Did you make any extra purchases on it ??? (Extra functions)

[@joshuabell6476]

Would that support the factory CD changer even if some wiring is required?

[@dxrioo99]

I have the same radio, do you know how to change the brightness? sometimes it‘s way to bright especially in the night..

[@morbius1189]

So, I’m digging the head unit. This is the one I want to go with. When I go to the Avin web site. There are like 10 or so add on options. If I buy the stereo without adding any of those options, will it have everything I need to connect the unit itself? With that being asked. What options do you recommend adding to this unit? Thanks

[@EvanGoyuk]

Yes it will still come with all the cables. I recommend getting it will the IBUS adapter to monitor the car. I also recommend getting the CarPlay/android auto adapter with you would like that featur

[@morbius1189]

Thanks a lot for answering back. I appreciate your input.

Did you ever get the oil temp to work? I just installed my Avant 4 last weekend and I still can't figure the oil temp out.

How to get the car logo in. I have avin 4 Android 10. Didn't see the car logo at all. Is car Logo comes with the headunit or you uploaded yourself? Other question the light on the unit doesn't come on. Do I need to go in setting to turn it on? Also my steering button doesn't work eventhose the canbus installed. Anyway great review.

[@TheRealKanjisCustomCreations]

Evan nice review. I bought the same unit px6 processor with wireless carplay. I have a problem activating Siri from steering wheel speak icon. wWhen i hit it, the car exita carplay and automatically connect to bluetooth calling menu. I use iphone and because of this i can not use speak button on steering wheel to call Siri. Even i try to make it learn when i hit that button again it returns to bluetooth call screen. Any suggestions? Thanks for your reply in advance

[@EvanGoyuk]

Where did you learn the button?

[@TheRealKanjisCustomCreations]

Evan Goyuk For carplay, in the autoplay application settings, there is a a key learning column. I program the keys from there.

[@EvanGoyuk]

Try doing it under factory settings on the radio. The code to enter those settings are 126

[@TheRealKanjisCustomCreations]

[@davedammitt7691]

Not seeing anything about the faceplate or whatever it is that makes the relocated HVAC control panel fit nicely? Is that included with the unit?

[@EvanGoyuk]

No it’s not included and you need to buy it separately from sites like FCPEURO

[@sethadams791]

You can also just pop out the empty box that’s above the ashtray and slide it in there. It’s a little loose but It looks perfectly fine.

I have set up sleep mode for 10 Min, and if i turn key in AC mode then to OFF then to AC mode again, headunit is waking up with different Apps running...

[@e46cabrioliebe]

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?

[@cristianjguevara]

I just placed my order today. Definitely go PX6. I went with the Qualcom 8 core 4GB ram hoping it stays smooth and fast as the unit gets older. You will always need some form of adapter for AA or Carplay, I paid for the more expensive adapter for wireless capability just because on my other Andoird auto head units in other cars once the cables get old the connection starts failing causing connectivity issues.

When I press the speech button the Bluetooth app on the Avant 4 opens up (even though I intentionally have no devices hooked up to the unit for Bluetooth). Would be so handy to have that speech button launch Siri. In fact, I've played around with the wheel key study app and it never seems to pick up any of the buttons. The volume and track selection buttons on the wheel work though.

Ok, I with the key learning I can assign a physical button on the Avant 4 to Siri, but if I try to assign any of the buttons on the steering wheel it ignores them. I went into settings and disabled the Bluetooth app so it no longer opens when I press the speech button, but in key learning if I select Siri and then press the speech button once, twice, long press, etc, nothing happens.

Great video. I'm not sure what has happened to Avin's support, but it is now terrible. My box arrived without a single sheet of literature or instructions what so ever. Any interactions with support will take a minimum of 1day for them to respond. They will always refer you to user posted KZbin videos for support as they have none of their own. Lastly, I install mine and it instantly fried the Avin supplied connection adapter to the head unit, without me ever turning it on. I'm not sure of the head unit itself is fried, but Avin is sending a new 14pin adapter. This could not possible have been my fault since everything is pretty much plug and play, there are no wireless to cross or mis-connect. Super disappointed with this entire thing. I'm $800+ deep in this and it hasn't gone well at all.

My Factory 16:9 Navigation boots up faster (like instant, always), has bluetooth, has 2020 maps, voice control, DSP and still works like a charm. Best of all it uses the cars telemetry system to not "get-lost" while GPS connection has been lost. And the avant 4 costs a shit-ton of money for how bad it is. USB connectors on the backside of the device can pop-out quite easily (bad design choice). The Android UI looks like crap. The one thing that is cool is CarPlay... but yea, not convinced that that unit is actually better than the original ....

Maybe if the screen would be oled, but this tragicly looking crap is not going to my beautifull interior. 😢
