I checked it with three relays, input voltage is 13.94V from power distribution block (same spot as your pic when the engine is on) and about the same at the output end. Maybe my camera is more sensitive to voltage changes. I am running non-OEM angel eyes that require more voltage and an amp that may be pulling more voltage from the lighting circuit causing intermittent drops. I suppose time will tell if this is a temporary bandaid. Battery is about 5 years old as well. Top pic with relay and rectifier. Bottom pic with rectifier only (no relay). Overall this is a no brainer mod to bring the tech to current standard. Great mod and great support thread.

By only real issue at the moment is the Google or Apple map nav voice is soooooo loud relative to music. The only work around I've found is using Waze because I can set the voice volume to 7 out of 100 which is low enough to match the music volume output. Anyone else with this issue?
Other minor annoyance is sometimes when I get in car it switches to CarPlay immediately and other times it takes a minute. Switching between my phone and passenger phone is also awkward and confusing. |

I noticed the occasional low quality voiceover but not a big volume issue. https://support.apple.com/guide/ipho...hac2e74dc5/ios

I zip-tied mine to one of the factory wire harnesses by the battery, can't remember the exact location. Just eyeball it when you're doing the install and put it anywhere that looks like a good spot and allows you to run the wires easily.

My car required the CIC-KT connected to iDrive and connection to A#, with B# having the loop D# connected. Now all working perfectly in my F10. Thank you for your input chaps. |

I screwed to the body. I need to clean up the wiring (will be done when I complete the on/off switch). You don’t want the relay banging around back there.

I switched the dip switches to 347, which eliminated two of the fault errors I was seeing with ISTA+. Amp communication fault remains and an intermittent CIC fault. I may remove the extension LVDS cable to see if it helps. Interestingly, INPA can communicate with the amp as it is reading OK.
For people running the iDrive cable are you seeing communication errors? I may connect the iDrive cable to see if the errors clear. I need to build in a delay off for the Backup camera. Use is limited for 6MT.

Most of those errors would clear when I would rescan which means I wouldn't worry too much.

Can anyone post their audio settings? I am told that the people i call on the phone are getting a really bad echo. I've tried to adjust everything and it's still bad.

I haven't modified the BT audio settings, did not have any call issues with the default settings. If you are getting an echo I believe there is a delay setting you can try increasing and see if that helps?

did you guys route the backup camera under the trim like the video? I got the aliexpress one in today and have been watching the installation video a few times. Seems like the biggest hassle for me is pry open all the trims and try to put them back without damaging any plastic pieces.
Also .. do you actually remove the entire glove box? |

That part wasn't that bad for me. I didn't remove the whole glove box. Remove the underside panel and you should have enough room to route it underneath and behind.

So to recap, the issue I have is the maps voice is very loud when I get instructions. But all the other sounds from Youtube Music, Spotify, etc is fine. The problem appears to be the sound settings in the Carsara menu is too high. The volume is set to 12 from memory which is the max. I thought this setting works quite well because when I switch from my car audio source (radio, CD, USB) to either Carplay or Android auto, the volume level carries across and is the same. So If i reduce the volume in the Carsara settings, it does indeed reduce the voice instructions in nav which therfore fixes the issue. BUT this also means the volume for everything else (youtube, Spottify) and also been lowered too. |
