The Spectacular BMW 15 inch Android Radio! (BMW F10/F11 installation)

[@dannydanix8698]

I have never ever seen a fast installation in any electronics, and a major upgrade for your F10, I'm planning on getting similar item, but your installation under 18 minutes is amazing. Thanks !!!

[@CarplaySolutions-za]

Thanks you Danny, It's a lot easier and quicker if you know what the steps is. I hope our video will help you. Enjoy.

Really good video it helped me install the same unit on my 2011 528i, but I'm trying to find how to route the AUX cable from the head unit to the center console? I was just wondering if anyone knows a good video to show that

[@BulletsGarage]

Interested in knowing if a front view camera can be installed and used with this unit ?? If so what setting needs to be changed on the unit for it to work ?

[@AlexisLemesianos]

Cool video dude nice Can you please if you know a way to change the start up screen ? I would like it to show the m colors

[@vitaminxbg]

How is the night time brightness? Can it get really dim or not? How is the brightness controlled?

[@andrewspaltman]

Great video. I was hoping that you would show the screen in the dash from the side and the rear once fitted, as I want to make sure that it looks "clean" before committing to the 15inch as opposed to the 10 inch.

[@DER_OSMANE]

Why is there never any mention of the important functions, such as when you use the music player on Android to play MP3s from a USB storage device and have Maps Navigation open, how do you then go to the next song, i.e. which buttons do you use on the steering wheel or to turn the i Drive without having to exit Google Maps, it is very important that it works, otherwise you get very distracted, a short video on this problem would be cool. So, scenario: I navigate using Google Maps, have Google Maps open and have music playing in the background via USB MP3, how do you skip songs tracks forward and back without minimizing Maps?????? Which button do you have, which option do you have??? A very important question, because if it doesn't work then it's useless!!

[@Stomping-On-Roses]

Left out the fact that you need to keep a wire connected to your aux output in order to get audio.

[@CarplaySolutions-za]

@@Stomping-On-Roses 😅 We did show that in the video... But we actually used bimmercode to code the car and now it works without the aux cable being connected.

@@TrapMoneyHenny did you double check the optic fiber cable? Because it's easy to either forget to swap it or even to insert it 180 degrees wrong. If that doesn't work then maybe do a factory reset. Or contact your supplier to make sure there isn't maybe a setting that you should change.

How to enable USB (wired) connection for CarPlay?

[@Van-dh5ry]

To answer myself, wired CarPlay is not supported. On top of this, CarLetter app (CarPlay) does not run at a native 2560x720 resolution resulting in the blurry UI. Not sure about Android Auto, but given that CarPlay/AA is probably going to be the most used feature on these screens, this is a huge miss. Returning mine.

I am struggling with to buy it or not. I have a couple of questions. Is the brightness adjustable? Can you put the screen off when driving? When you put the gear in R, does the original screen pop up with the sensors? Because i do not have a rear camera and i am not planning to install it either. Is it dangerous because of the possible heat? I like to go on vacation in the summer where it is hot throughout the day.. Should i do it? Help me please. I have an f10 from 2011 with the 10inch screen.

[@CarplaySolutions-za]

Hey man! Thanks for reaching out. Yes the brightness is adjustable (There is apps to dim it even more to your liking) Yes you can switch off the screen. Regarding the reverse camera, so this BMW has the OEM reverse cam and it shows the OEM system while reversing but if you install an aftermarket reverse cam you can just change the settings and it will integrate perfectly with the camera and your sensors (So it will look like the factory one). We also sell the Boot handle reverse camera's that replaces your oem handle with a new one with the camera fitted.(you can take a look on our website). Regarding the heat, firstly it is important to get a goon quality product as there is so many fake units out there, but this units we have is really good high end quality and we haven't had any issues with heat ever. This BMW is also the 2011 F10. Hope this helped you!😉
