I screwed something up on mine by trying to switch from carplay to airplay (Wanted to see if I could stream football). Never got Airplay working and now the unit doesn't seem to like auto detecting when I get in the car (but works fine when I pick it from bluetooth).
Might just need to disconnect and re-pair the whole thing but clearly switching between the two is not easy or pleasant.

Carplay Buzzing
Hello,
I have successfully installed and functional CarPlay from Andream in my E60 2006 with CIC and L7. Everything works. But I'm solving one last problem. When I turn on the key, I hear the buzzing. At higher volumes, it's pretty annoying. The buzzing can only be heard through Carplay AUX. If I turn on the AUX directly from the phone, the buzzer will disappear. Question1: Do you have any ideas on how to remove the buzz? Question2: Is there any Carplay from other manufacturer that allows you to pair audio with Combox BT? (I have it too) Thanks a lot! |

If not using the iDrive controller cable you’ll need to disconnect the CAN headunit from the CAN carplay plug and add put the little CAN loop to the headunit CAN plug. |

How do you guys feel about the audio quality going through the HU now? I picked up a cable for coding but haven't had any time to tear the interior apart again.

You could try just replacing the loop first to try coding like that, if it doesn't work then try the separate cable option? |

Is this the carsara link that everyone is recommending? It's on sale for black friday and I'm thinking of finally pulling the trigger after trying to do research on how well these actually run. Im in an 09 e92 without combox, so i'm already running a USB powered bluetooth thats plugged into the aux. The sound from that is actually pretty good, so I assume that this will be the same with the Carsara unit. The one item I was always wondering about, is making sure that I don't need to wire up a new microphone as the factory unit works great. If i can wire into an aux at the back of the factory unit that would be lovely, and have protool to code. |

You don't need a new microphone, the kit includes a pigtail which runs up your A pillar and spilts the signal for you. I tried making several calls and quality seemed great, no concerns at all.

I retrofitted CiC into an 07 335 with no iDrive but messing with the M scares me!

Looks like we'll be getting Waze on the carplay dashboard soon (instead of being forced to use Apple Maps):
https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/23/...ashboard-apple Looking forward to this! |

Hey, maybe someone knows the answer to this or maybe I am just doing it wrong.
Installed this back in June it has worked great for me using wireless Carplay. Just sold my car, new owner has android- he can connect the bluetooth but the Wifi is asking for a password? I don't recall there being one when I set this up, if there is one does anyone know what it is? |

My trim tools are pretty thick too. My other concern is this car is dead silent right now inside, no squeaks or rattles. I worry that one this trim is pulled it will never be the same.

The little cap that sticks on is held really secure by some metal tabs, nothing to rattle there either. Pretty low risk, just make sure the cable is dressed and zip tied snug. That would be the only thing that could possibly tap around when moving but I haven't noticed any obvious issues. I definitely wouldn't call my car "dead silent" between the exhaust alone and the squeaks from the door seals and tire noise I wouldn't call it the calmest place in the world but it's not bad. I haven't noticed any major rattles to annoy me on long highway cruises.

If I have an 08 with CCC (no usb or Y), am I better off converting to CIC or buying one of these CarPlay retrofits like joyeauto or carsera or others? I am not an audiophile, listen to the radio or pandora, and would like Waze on the display.

It replaces the screen, the mic is built in there so doesn't seem like it will have mic issues like some of these boxes. But haven't seen anyone here try it. |
