90% of the time, it doesn't work.. but for some reason, occasionally it does work (and works consistently the entire time I'm in the car). I think this is what Michael meant as their unit is "mis-judging" the bluetooth connection.

Overall it seems android auto doesn't feel as "polished" as carplay does. The icons, layouts, etc just feel a bit sub-par and like a beta product at this point.. Not sure if this is android auto as a whole, or just the kremersino unit that's responsible for this, but the carplay interface is great (and just like the factory BMW carplay found in newer BMWs).

The kremersino engineer told me to use the AUX connection for Android Auto. Not sure why it differs from CarPlay unless they are using a different chipset for the two services. -Ken |

808M brettcp Thanks for trying out Android Auto! Quite unfortunate that it doesn't really work the way it should. If it is indeed a case of the unit simply trying to send the audio signal through the wrong medium, I imagine that a software update could fix it.
Overall it seems like AA is not really a priority for these kinds of units, which is a bit of a deal breaker for me. Just another question to anyone, what is the resolution like for apps on the CIC screen? Stuff like Waze etc. is it readable? I've seen solutions that actually replace the entire CIC unit with some Android head unit, one of the selling points being a higher resolution screen, but I'm not sure if that's really needed.

Thank you everyone for the updates on this unit. The unit sounds really enticing at this point since most issues seemed to be worked out.
I currently uses an emulator for the backup camera and it works pretty well. Just wondering what the status on the backup camera in Carplay?

I think BrettCP already has this working. But in messing with all of this, I see a setting in the CP unit that just puts the screen back to CIC during backup. I have mine set this way now so I can see PDC. It works perfectly, so I suspect it will be the same with the emulator installed. As for audio, It keeps CP audio since that is just going into CIC via BT or Aux. I get the PDC beeps on top of CP audio.

Yes, the factory backup video is displayed when you put the car into reverse, then it goes right back to the carplay interface once you shift out of reverse. It does not affect the audio portion of carplay - the music keeps playing throughout the entire process.

For those planning the camera emulator, are you planning to wire it to the quadlock? One quadlock behind the CIC unit already crams the back there.
I did a quadlock harness with emulator for RVC for my brother's E90D and it works like OE after coding.

I ordered the one wih the quadlock. I figure I will put it with the far end of that cable from the Carplay unit in the area between the center console and the glovebox (e93). That should be okay in terms of fit. We will find out when it gets here...

I was able to fit both the rear view camera and unichip wired carplay quadlocks together, I had to dremel out some plastic "support" material on the right side behind the cic I unit however to make the headunit slide all the way back. Works perfect.

Avin sucks
Avin is horrible. Bad customer service. I was in a3 month dispute with avin and pay pal. My head unit didn't work and they didn't want to give me a refund.

I ended up retrofiting the combox into my car and like brettcp said, I am having the unreliable switching from Carplay to BT mic. I did noticed the BT mic has a good amount of static like its AM quality.
Either way, I'm happy to not be running the external mic and AUX-in.
