Yes, it should. They are the same basic hardware with slightly different software builds. Coding the options should yield the same result as long as there were no changes in the wiring harness.

The Rear view camera works when I press the brake pedal. I tapped black/blue stripe wire on the right side. Is there a different wire I should have tapped? My car is E92 2010 6MT.
Thanks guys. Forum is an excellent resource. Last edited by red998; 05-11-2022 at 08:38 PM.. |

I have to assume since they stopped producing these boxes that any software updates were out the door with it, but the final quad lock version was remarkably stable in terms of features so I'm not sure what else you'd need in the firmware.

Quick update - switched to iOS and the Carsara box functions incredibly smoothly. Obvious differences between AA and CarPlay aside it seems like these boxes are much more optimized for Apple products. Pairing speed is much faster and almost too aggressive (maybe related to how frequently the box searches for paired phones?) When connecting to my dash cam via Wi-Fi, the carsara box occasionally kicks that connection off and takes over. |

Mr12Volt offers the more expensive unit with great audio but it has some software/UI quirks. If you prefer audio quality over regular functionality then that may be a better choice.

Hi
I have one of the original carsara unit with the quadlock aux. Has anyone else got issues with the latest Android auto making the screen ratio messed up with no dual app mode. Everything seems stretched was fine last month. https://ibb.co/mSzt63G Edit,: figured out this is part of the new Android auto coolwalk Update. So I've rolled back and disabled auto update for now Last edited by namsu2430; 11-13-2022 at 06:16 PM.. |

I recently updated my carsara firmware, and also updated android auto, reset everything and re-paired it...
this fixed google maps being stuck on day mode all the time, but now my phone gets super hot and burns through battery quickly, the audio sometimes skips, and the maps screen is slow to update. has anyone else run into this or similar?

Answering my own question: The stuttering maps and skipping audio was completely resolved when I switched from 2.4ghz to 5ghz wifi (switching from wifi channel 6 to channel 36).
I'm very happy with the v3.5.0.6 firmware as it also now automatically reconnects to android auto when i boot up the car, i used to have to go through shenanigans of holding down buttons and selecting connect. And: Yes, the MMI units we've been using all have video in and out, and you hold down a button to switch between looking at the CIC and looking at the carplay screen. On mine, holding down "back" switches back and forth, holding down "menu" also switches back and forth but brings you out of carplay/android auto to the underlying MMI menu screens.

Oh also, didn't see it in the thread.
To make it so that both the aux in for the armrest and the aux in on the back of the radio work at the same time, you want to code this: RSE_3 rse_mid_rueko Instead of this: CDMM_AUX_HU aktiv CDMM_USB_AUDIO_SINGLE nicht_aktiv CDMM_USB_AUDIO_DOUBLE_0B nicht_aktiv (you'll want to change those three back to how they were, or default/factory code the CIC first) (not my photo)

I messaged the seller on aliexpress and he sent me both the old and new firmwares. I'll see if I can post them somewhere and link back here

There's a comprehensive list of firmware versions and links to them over on the F30 side. There are slight differences between units so make sure you look at your current software and HW version to pick the right one

I've had my unit for about 2 years, and it has always taken way too long to sleep after I lock my doors. I often get "increased battery discharge warnings". I'm getting them a lot more lately, so that probably just means I need a new battery, but I still wonder if others have the same issue with the unit staying on for a long time.
You'll know because if you're near the car, your phone will connect to the box. Android Auto in my case. |

One thing I do get every so often upon opening the driver door is a random Central Electronics Failure error, accompanied by the little image of a car up on a lift in the dash display and I can see the CC-ID 207 code by pressing the BC button. I can never find any other trouble codes in Carly or ISTA, and there are no other symptoms or issues, but it pops up every now and then. I suspect it has something to do with the Carsara box interrupting the CAN signal or something like that, but am too lazy to remove the whole thing to check as I really like having Carplay, and it doesn't seem to affect anything about the car's operation.
