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)

Is the RSE_3 parameter in the CIC module? Where do you find this one?

EDIT/UPDATE: Found it, and the CDMM parameters too, in the CIC module. Used NCS Expert to activate both AUX front and rear and now I have AUX audio working via the quad lock. Sounds so much better than AUX via 3.5mm plug. Thanks for this!

Recently bought Carsara MMI, but I have some major issues with it.
First is I can not adjust it to use car`s bluetooth instead of AA. Option "Use the original Bluetooth phone" from factory mode menu is on, but it keeps using AA for phone calls. It is stupid, because if I listen to radio or USB and my phone rings, I have to jump to AUX to make conversation.
Second is steering buttons for next/previous song does not change Spotify songs it just behaves like up/down cursor.
It is non quad lock version, only jumper 5 is on as seller suggested. You can see FW version and options in service menu in attachment.

I`m on the way to trow this garbage out of my car, so any help will be appreciated!

P.S My factory mode code is 0301

I can't seem to get the firmware update page on carsaras site to load. Does anyone have the newest firmware file? Hardware version is in the attached picture. I have the version from 2021 with quadlock audio

Thank you so much for this info!

This has worked for me. Thank you so much for saving me from the hurdle and I think sound is actually better than the one which is in the armrest.

This was incredibly helpful, and allowed me to enable higher quality audio with aux rear for my bimmertech MMI unit as well. Thank you!
