Just a problem though I have noticed. Is not very obvious but the icons seem a bit stretched. Did anyone else notice this? Mine is a E89 Cic unit. I have attached two photos showing the dimensions and even if it is not a very scientific method it is obvious they are not square. The second photo show how a square should look. |

Honestly, I haven't taken a close look at icon measurements, but it doesn't look stretched of any sort in my system. During my initial setup days, I was playing around with dip switches and set it up to F series settings (1,3 both OFF), nothing happened in the beginning, but after a system reboot, I had smaller screen display and stretched system icons and it was clearly noticeable. The dip switch change effect usually takes place post-reboot, you can change the dip and pull out the white harness plug, reconnect and see if that makes a difference. (there is a system reboot menu also inside the carplay settings, or you can use the reset pin on the carplay device) You can write to Enrique from carplay on Whatsapp and see if they can help (+86 158 8973 6925)

I have tried that but no success.
I did some further investigation. I took a screenshot while connected to the unit and the resolution was : 1364 × 480 but the CIC resolution is 1280x480. This could explain why it is stretched. I informed Ivan on Whatsapp but I will try Enrique too. |

I checked yours and is 1280 × 450 which is much closer to the 1280x480 of the screen. Mine is way off!
I spoke with Enrique and then to Kevin and they are trying to convince me that this is normal and I should accept it. I cant get them to understand. They keep telling me yours is a special car etc etc and that they never had this issue reported before. And keep telling me it works perfectly and is the best product!!! I really dont understand since I show them the screenshot and it obviously has the wrong resolution and they are still trying to convince me is correct!! What I think is the box is asking the iphone for the wrong resolution and then as a result of the wrong proportions the screen image looks stretched. |

Their solution is this: Find another friend that had a CIC system, install it and if it works then sell it to them! Are they even serious? They don't believe is their product's issue but with the car. I have asked for a technical explanation as to how can this be but ofcourse nothing. They say sir you have a beautiful car and product is perfect 😂 |

You can search through some posts in the forum about coding new screen resolution in CIC, I am sure I have seen few, but don't have them handy. As for Joyeauto customer care don't expect much, its difficult to make them understand and more challanging to convience them about their improvement opportunities.

Also I have noticed that when making calls there is an echo basically rendering the call functionality useless. I reverted to using the BT for calls and the dock connector for audio playback. Basically just using the unit as a monitor. Still a worthwhile upgrade but yes I wish the support was a bit better. |

Has there been any improvement to sound quality via AUX/USB or is poor bass still the expectation without a Combox BT connection?

The AUX quality was not that bad (lower bass and more flat) but I am using the USB connection in the centre console armrest. It is much better from there.

I thought both USB and AUX in the armrest were required when not running Combox?

In my case I have BT and use that for calls (because the mic causes echo during calls) and use the armrest usb just for music audio and not use AUX at all. |

Do you experience issues with switching between BT and USB audio when a phonecall comes in?

Yes I have COMBOX BT but I am only using BT for phone calls not for music (there is an option in iDrive to set this just for calls). The switching is ok, I dont notice anything. The only thing though is I cannot get navigation directions from Carplay but that is a good compromise over better audio quality.

Yes, that's one of the biggest drawbacks I have seen. The Navigation doesn't come through Bluetooth. If I select AUX the music audio quality is not as great as Combox BT.

On another note i have asked another guy on reddit who installed this on his i3. And he checked his resolution and it was wrong like mine. So definitely is not just me and my car is not special like Joyeauto keep telling me 😂 |
