BMW Android Navi GPS screen NO Sound Without Audio Fixed

[@nigelreynolds4729]

Great video..probably the best I've seen. Very detailed instructions 👌

[@HifimaxOfficial]

Thanks

[@Markdoria]

E70 CIC owner here...did everything you explained.Thank you! Switched the optical and ran the aux wire to the center console. Sound is distorted and volume is low (not clear).

[@HifimaxOfficial]

when the car have optical fiber cable, it need to move it to new harness, that is 100% to do it, nothing wrong, about the AUX connection, it also need to connect it, since the car is CIC, The sound distorted or volume is low, you can check the settings for it.

[@francescozavattini1696]

Please I have a question. Why for some models of the screen you don’t need to connect the aux? I’m sure about that because by looking at online forums I saw that. Thanks

[@RodrigoZille]

Hi! Your tutorial is amazing!! It helps me a lot!!! But I have a question… There is a way when to put the reverse, show the Original system CIC Reverse cams??? Because my original CIC have a Reverse and 360cam…

[@HifimaxOfficial]

yes it support, you just go to android menu, click settings> camera selection, and choose "OEM camera", then will be fine.

I have a 2010 Audi A5 Cabriolet. My professional installer put it in a new Zlink Head Unit, but he could not get sound to come out of the speakers only the radio. Do you have a video for this problem in an Audi? Or would this be the same issue in an Audi as in the BMW in this video. Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

Thanks for the video, but what do i need to do if my car doesnt have an optical fiber cable?

[@HifimaxOfficial]

If no optical fiber cable , then just connect the power cable directly, with or without optical is not an issue for this problem.

[@ZacharyGiddens-m9n]

Probably a stupid question, but I cannot figure out how to get back to the original (OEM) menu screen in order to check/change to the AUX connection/setting. Specifically for the CIC at the 3:43 mark. How, once the new Android screen is installed, do you get back to the original settings menu as shown in this video? Again, specifically shown at the 3:43 time mark in this video? Thanks in advance!

Hi, 1, you can check if the video cable was connected to android screen correctly, 2, the “ car type setting “ in factory settings, watch this video : kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2LWZHxnhtGCZqM. 3, The “ Can protocol “ settings might also made errors. It mainly check this 3 reasons

[@dawids90999]

Very good video sir. Very informative. I am struggling with my android head unit on my bmw e92 with ccc idrive. I did follow all the steps like connecting aux and moving fiber optic cable but the way I connected aux is I did Solder 2 aux cables together instead of connecting 2 aux cables (because i didnt have male and female endings to connect). I have no sound. Do you think its because i soldered aux instead of just connecting one end to another and then to aux port?

[@HifimaxOfficial]

Since I don’t clear how you soldered it, but that might be a reason for the trouble; in normal situations, that is no need to modify the cables , when the car have original AUXILIARY, just connect the aux cable to it , then will be fine , maybe your car is special, or something that I don’t know. So, I don’t have good suggestions for you .

Hello, Great detailed Video. I have a 2010 BMW x5 with CIC. I've just installed a Android unit, but it looks like my OEM Aux port doesn't register I have a device plugged into it. My phone wont work through Aux either. is there another way to get sound. Does the Fiber cables do anything if the sound goes through Aux? Any ideas where to look my my OEM Aux problem? Thanks Justin

[@HifimaxOfficial]

Your car , it need to move the optical fiber cable to new harness, also need to connect the aux cable , and choose “Aux “ in original menu before playing the music in android side ; if you recover back to original car system, when you plug the phone to aux ( choose Aux in original menu), , but it also not work , it mean your original aux do have some problems, the sound of head unit go through optical fiber & AUX .

Hello I have the cic modell. When i choose aux, i can not make aux louder on the cic menu. Why i cant?

[@HifimaxOfficial]

The android music and CarPlay using the same audio channel, thus, you can see when playing music in android home menu and see if the music have sound or not , if that have sound , but CarPlay no sound , then check if your phone also connected to original Bluetooth or not , CarPlay is not allow to use Bluetooth at the same time . In fact, this video have mentioned these steps , you can watch it in details again . Or what you mean is : the CarPlay music is fine but when calling , no sound ?

I have a 2016 BMW F23 NBT system and I didn't have any optical wires OR needed to connect the AUX in the armrest, and the sound seems to be working OK... do some models of car not need to do either of these steps, or am I missing something?

[@HifimaxOfficial]

NBT car types can switch the audio by internal ( the sound switch through the big power cable ), thus, some NBT car is ok not to connect the AUX cable, but you need to test the sound , if that is no sound , you still need to connect it; if the car have optical cable , move it , if no optical cable , then just plug the power cable , then will be fine .

Anyone get a loud thump sound throught the speakers after fitting this unit via AUX? sounds works fine appart from nearly blowing my speakers when turning on my vehicle.

[@Pie4life123]

Same any updates ?

[@Oztinnieadventures]

@@Pie4life123 pretty sure it’s because the Aux is already active when the HU initialises power, the HU then sends a small power pulse out the output hence the “thump” sound. Not ideal but I don’t think it can be avoided.

In this video , from 7:58 , talking about the audio filter box, you can try that way, sometimes the audio filter with something Wong that can also make sound problem.

In AUX mode , not recommend set to too high volume level. Also, if our android model, it can go to factory set up menu, to set the microphone gain . Normally MIC gain set to 18~19 is enough; you can also connect the AUX cable to AUX jack and see if ok . Also can try to update the firmware.

Hello Sir, Thank you very much for this video. I have installed a CIC Android auto compatible with my bmw X1, when i use the radio and the gps since the screen of Android auto i have the sound without any issue. But when i use Carplay without Bluetooth and also connect my phone by only Bluetooth i have no sound, even if i play a KZbin video directly from my Android auto screen i have no sound. The only one action that i mustg do to have the sound is to connect my mobile phone on the usb port of the car. Did you have met this type of issue? Thank you in advance for your replies..

So, from your description: the Bluetooth, CarPlay, and video from android side are no sound; the USB you connected should be the OEM car . You can double check the connection as this video mentions, check step by steps.
