[@jose092596]

Just ordered mines thanks to you, will use your guide to try to install mines! Thank you for your videos !

[@drivewrenchrepeat]

Good luck and let us know if you have any questions along the way!

[@reehee5475]

I enjoyed your video. You definitely made it look easier than it is to install.

[@Addice919]

Great video bro. Vik mentioned the channel to me a month ago. Just stopping by to show some support.

[@drivewrenchrepeat]

Thanks man!!

[@Levrrrrr]

Hello Could you tell me please do you have some issues since installation this car play did you notice anything or is everything okay?

[@drivewrenchrepeat]

No issues at all and we had it installed since 2022 (though the video was uploaded this year)

[@Levrrrrr]

@@drivewrenchrepeat when do you show us about MHD?

[@mrandressss]

Hey there! I had a question I have a 2009 135i and doesn’t have the navigation but I want to add it. Do I need to upgrade my radio headunit if I want to add this navigation?

[@drivewrenchrepeat]

I'm not sure about that. I'd reach out to the manufacturer, mr12volt, to inquire if they sell a unit that suits your situation.

[@KiekeBooooh]

Can you use the system without the external mic, I'm not interested in Siri stuff tbh, suppose you can do everything with the iDrive knob and buttons?

[@drivewrenchrepeat]

Correct, you can use the iDrive knob to navigate through different functions in the Carplay

[@jorgemartincarrillo]

What happened with the rear cam ???

[@drivewrenchrepeat]

We ended up not installing the cam

[@flippy9133]

how well it works with calls? can you still use the CIC for that or does it interfere somehow

[@drivewrenchrepeat]

@flippy9133 The call quality with the mr12volt is not that great. But you can use the call function from the CIC and not forced to using mr12volt for calls. Once the call ends, it goes back to Apple Carplay mode so you don't have to manually switch back.

[@Don_speedmx]

Can you still use the iDrive interface to check car status and all that?

[@drivewrenchrepeat]

Yes, you can go back and forth between the original interface and carplay

[@Yaadie68]

Is there an Android Auto version?

[@drivewrenchrepeat]

I’m not sure. I’d reach out to mr12volt or check out their website.

[@dee1251]

Which system does an 1m have ? Cic?

[@drivewrenchrepeat]

@dee1251 The 1M should have the CIC
