I don’t, unfortunately. Do you have this as an OEM option? I imagine it will work fine. There are different settings in there you can set to your personal needs. But I have no experience with anything other than the backup camera.

I am just ordering everything now, although struggling with selecting "Option D" on the Aliexpress website! I have emailed you separately regarding the mic splitter. One question - are the parking trajectory lines dynamic, driven by steering angle input, or are they derived from image motion, by a bit of clever processing?

Ask yourself this: how can a camera have dynamic guidelines that move with the steering wheel if there is no way for the two to communicate? Any camera that says it has that ability is full of it. The dynamic guidelines are a feature of the Mr12Volt interface, not the camera. The steering input is provided via canbus to the box. The camera’s only connection is the video signal. Option D. If you pick something else and it doesn’t work, that’s on you. |

I have ordered Option D, as recommended. My only challenge was navigating the not-very-intuitive Aliexpress interface, where the Option selection was shown as a “colour” option. Digression Alert: I have seen a single camera solution which appears to offer a “birds eye” view for reverse parking, through I assume very clever image processing. Anyway - now looking forward to receiving all the bits of kit, as I have been delaying my jump on this AA/Reverse Camera business for way too long....

The dynamic parking lines do work (on e9x m3s atleast). They work on my e92 m3 with the 12Volt unit and my e90 m3 with the Andream touch screen. The unit does the processing and overlays the lines based on data from the canbus interface. But I also can't really say how accurate the lines are, honestly I don't really pay attention to them that much, I still like to turn and check surroundings and don't trust only the camera view 100%. I really only look at the camera view to see how far I am from a curb/object. This is a video of the Andrew rear camera view, I don't have one of the 12volt unit as yet. The 12volt view is stretched to full screen, maybe because my E92 doesn't have PDC like the E90 does. https://photos.app.goo.gl/y8crqFd2ZXak7qgU7

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum. After following this thread, I decided to pull the trigger on this Mr12Volt unit. I've also reached out to 2009550iMSport to get one of those mic splitter cables (thanks for dealing with this bit of the process for all of us here, man) and I joined the club of those that will either, be super happy sometime in October or really mad and trying to get my money back. Time will tell. At least we know the unit exists, it's just a matter of trusting that the vendor can get some more in a month or so. Anyway, just wanted to stop by and say hi everyone. Have a great day. Daro. |

Tonight I finished installing the unit. I used the supplied mic from the new Carsera batch, as it integrates a bit nicer than the one from Mr12Volt. Too bad it turns out it doesn't work...
Unfortunately, my new Carsera unit didn't include the mic splitter, so now I'm one of 2009550iMSport's many customers The other issue I have is that the unit turns on perfectly fine with one car key, but with the second one I do get to select CD1, but then I only see Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, and nothing happens when I press them. Other than these issues, I am extremely happy with the unit. Finally a proper interface to access podcasts, music, and audiobooks on my iPhone. The audio quality is indeed awesome, and it is incredibly fast. Thanks to all of you who provided the walkthroughs, tips, and for doing all the research! |

As more people are getting these in, I'm curious where people have been mounting them. 2009550iMSport mounted it above the glovebox, but thats in an E60, so I don't know how well that works in the e9x
Have people tried mounting behind the hvac controls where folks mounted the other brand units? I'm thinking about where to mount it, and I want to be able to easily access it to do firmware updates. I also want to ensure that the unit is solidly mounted. I don't want it sliding around or creating rattles. Might consider an SD card extender for such a thing. |

This is really odd. I know some settings are tied to a specific key. For example, I've heard that mirror position can be tied to a particular key. (I've not personally verified this, just something I've read). I wonder if that has something to do with it, and there is some way to work around this.

Mine is firmly wedged into the gap between the CIC cage and the passenger footwell. Is it pretty? No. Does it rattle? Not at all. Seems to be fine for heat dissipation as well - I've done 6 hours of driving with Android Auto Wireless and not a single issue. The unit is unfortunately a few mm too thick to fit behind the HVAC controls whether the Carsara unit used to sit perfectly. I'll look into an SD extender, that would really be perfect. |

I prefer removing the glove box than pulling out the CIC to get access to the box. |

I’ll try to figure out what is triggering this behavior. I used my wife’s key when I did the coding and installed the unit, so now she’s the lucky one with CarPlay ;-) I tried to code with my key instead, but same result. |

It was showing as “pre-order” when I checked yesterday.

Just noticed Mr12Volt has a new firmware for the P2000-CICM0 interface. Would be nice to know the change log for the new firmware.
P2000 for CIC v1.4 (last update 20210901) https://mr12v.com/pages/p2000-series-software-updates For those with the interface, what firmware version do you have? |
