Fritz, I know your video is 2 years old and I’m new To your channel so I’d not know much about you or how you run this thing. Hopefully you still get notices when people add comments like this even 2 years later. What I want to say above all else is your comments about building a community and trying to find someone to help a viewer in the viewers area if they scared to do the project your taking on. How awesome. As human being I think we are suppose to do things just like you suggested and help the next person out. If everyone single living person took that on and effectively paid it forward finding the next person who needs support and helping them through it. Think about what kind of world we’d be living in if everyone was so community minded and giving freely of themselves. I’m so glad you approached it that way and if I can ever be of service to others, I hope people will let me know how I can help. Thanks for the video and more importantly, thanks for being you!!!

[@DonovanColbert]

I watched the Bimmertec video on installing their Android head unit which I found a little discouraging - but watching you do it on an actual 235i made it seem a lot less challenging. I'm glad I found your channel.

[@luise3618]

Did you ever figure it out? I ordered from BT but figured audio shouldn’t be affected since you’re not really changing the head unit. You’re only changing the screen so it should still sound exactly the same

[@anhquansei]

@@luise3618 no, the screen is connected to the original sound system via aux, so the headunit is doing a Digital to Analog conversion and the DAC isnt as good as BMW original so there will be degradation but I doubt people can notice.

[@carswnova]

Is there any differences if you have the Harman Kardon sound system apart moving the optical cable? Also how is the true sound quality affected while having the HK sound system along with this as I am worried about sound degradation? Lots of models say its not affected but I have seen many examples where the sound quality is considerably poorer than than the standard HU with HK.

Ey! I just bought similar radio for my BMW serie 4 , I did just the same as you but I have no sound. Theres a Jack cable on my kit , does It goes to the aux? Thanks from Spain!!

[@FritzRamos]

Yes, but if your radio and bluetooth play without it inserted then you don't need it.

[@The7HeavensRagnar]

If you don’t have the fibre optic cable, most likely you’ll need to plug in the aux cable right?

[@The7HeavensRagnar]

I just don’t like the fact that I need to plug in the aux to armrest, I’d have to run the wire under the central console which sounds messy

[@FritzRamos]

Wow, thank you!

[@vijaybadhan6410]

Thanks for the video mate extremely helpful and it actually gave me the confidence to attempt the installation myself, which i did today. The only real issues I had was with disconnecting the Emergency light switch connector as I couldn't pop out the button itself to make it more accessible and trying to get the stereo system back in to its original position was very awkward due to all the additional wiring that is now there. After finally working that out the new screen switches on fine but I don't seem to have any sound and the cars main menu doesn't display when I hold down the menu button on the Idrive...Any ideas why that might be? Could it be because I forget to connect the fibre optic cable?

[@FritzRamos]

That's awesome! Only some cars have the fiber optic so you ,ight have to double check to see if yours does. The other thing to check is that you plugged in the AUX cord. Lmk if that helps

[@vijaybadhan6410]

@@FritzRamos Thank you for your advice. My vehicle had the fibre optic cable so I relocated it to the new 40 pin female plug which has fixed the issue. Please Fritz I have another question...do I still need to connect the aux lead even if I can play music via bluetooth threw my phone? It works via the BMW original system but I have no sound when I play a movie via the android sytem.

[@FritzRamos]

@@vijaybadhan6410 If you have sound from the radio, your BT, and from the android unit (like the navigation - switch to aux mode even if you don't have the cable plugged in) then you don't need it. I didn't have to use mine, hopefully yours is the same

Sweet head unit installation video! For those of us that's just watching you for the first time, what's the year and model of your BMW?

Thanks for puttin' this video out man, very helpful. Keep rockin' it!

[@FritzRamos]

Thanks man! You are always giving great feedback. I have a 2015 BMW m235i. The install should be the same for anyone with the screen that pops out of the dash, maybe some variation between aftermarket brands is all. I would imagine it voids the warranty but since it's all plug and play, if anything happens just pop your old one in 🤫(and it looks close to oem that they might not notice unless they're wiring in that specifically) or wait until the warranty is up, that's what I did.

I don’t understand the difference between the mmi set up and this one. Why do some ppl use the mmi box thingy and others like you don’t? What does that mmi thing even do? And do I even need it?

You would need an after market backup camera to hook up to the android unit. amzn.to/2XUZ1pE

Thank you very much for ur Video

[@FritzRamos]

Your welcome. Happy to help

Hey, great video! But didn't you have to connect the new display to the aux on the main car? Or you don't care about hearing audio from the android system

[@FritzRamos]

Thanks for the support. After testing out the unit, I didn't need to. Maybe it's just for some models? Did you have to connect yours?

[@KABUTO]

Fritz Ramos I’m yet to purchase one, but because I’m from the UK I need one specially for RHD cars. All the ones that are for RHD cars need to be connected to the AUX which I feel is a bit cumbersome

[@FritzRamos]

Really? Are the connections different?

[@KABUTO]

Fritz Ramos Nope, just the plastic on the back. The triangle is flipped. Mine is an F20 BMW

@@KABUTO Hi Kabuto, If you contact the seller directly they are usually able to advise you on whether it is the correct fitment for your Vehicle. Have your Registration, Vehicle Model number, Vin number, exact year of manufacture and maybe send them a couple of pictures of your current Screen as well. I live in the U.K and my screen, which I purchased from Amazon fits perfectly. Last i checked they still have some in stock.

Hello Mate i got 2015 plate F20 very recently i have replace the headunit and the screen which came off from another same model car. But after replacing phone, sat nav none of the option are working only radio and aux works at the moment but volume button panel on the dash and steering doesnt work either. Do you know please what shall i do?

[@FritzRamos]

If another BMW unit was put in place the system might see the head unit as one that should be in another car. The android unit has no signal so it wouldn't have that issue. What head unit is currently connected to your car ?
