Thanks for bringing this up. Maybe 2009550imsport has some suggestions with the mic splitter. I have some suggestions; 1. Check to see if the mic splitter wires are kinked or are interfered with in any way. 2. Check if there are any breaks in the wires. 3. Maybe they need to be insulated. Hope this helps. I haven't received my mic splitter or the Mr12Volt unit. I guess when we start doing our installs we will see if we have the same issue. |

Someone earlier asked via PM how I switch between Carplay and the OEM BT phone connection. You can change how you want to handle call from the phone itself, like if you were switching the phone call to the speakerphone on the iphone. The phone and the unit seems to remember what you used last. You will also be automatically switched back to idrive when the phone call starts with the OEM BT connection and switch back to Carplay once the call has ended. The major issue is that you cannot access Carplay during the call via the OEM BT phone connection. I pressed the volume but it will not change back to Carply. Somehow the unit will stay in idrive until the call has ended. This is what I think is the biggest disadvantage of using the OEM BT for the phone call despite the excellent quality. I honestly think the microphone supplied by Mr12volt works okay but definitely not as clear when directly compared to the OEM mic via the BMW BT connection, esp if you have a lot of background noise like a loud exhaust.

Has anyone tried this on an f30 with cic? I have a 2013 with cic and curious what others have experienced. Does it integrate with your heads up display? If you can scroll your music with your steering wheel then in theory it should show on the hud since it usually mimics that. Anyways anyone with experience on an f30 and hud please chime in

It should be physically easy to do and you can probably just splice the wires if you don't mind cutting into them. I suspect the issue has to do with the gain/noise cancellation is different for the Mr12Volt unit when compared to the OEM system.

Just wanted to add pictures of my front and rear camera, honestly the resolution/picture quality isn't great, I don't know if it's the shitty amazon fisheye cameras or if it's because the video is stretched. It's not like I am recording motion pictures here, I just need to see where the curb is, so it's good enough for that.
Front: Rear: How the front camera looks mounted:

So if you are pulling into a parking spot, you need to put it in neutral (DCT) then shift back into drive to see the front Cam. This is the Front Camera I got: https://amzn.to/3AHnRuk Ain't great and I never tried any others so I can't really say what is best, only that it works and the picture quality is passable but not great. This is the rear camera I used: https://amzn.to/3kuFuIl

I tested that Weivision camera in my writeup and it was definitely a lower number of scan lines which even though the CIC display is only 480 pixels high results in a blurrier image. Details on the cameras I tried are in the carsara thread.

Hello,
I was reading about a user who experienced issues with his CCC controller working with the CIC Mr12Volt CarPlay/AA MMI Box. Has anyone else experienced this issue on a CIC-retrofitted E90 with a CCC controller? Currently have a Kremersino V1 MMI unit I received from a fellow forum member and it works great with the current CCC controller. I am definitely interested in this newer unit for the sound quality upgrade. TIA, Mike |

My other car, has CCC and the Andream touch screen and the controller also doesn't work well with that. I think it might be the CCC controller sends the incorrect canbus signals. or the units are not programed to recognize the ccc controls, only the CIC ones. I can see how a company doing the software doesn't test all of them and just assumes.
