Got unit to work, but anyone have any issues with the audio? Sometimes I get audio through the aux option and sometimes I don't and have to connect via BT using the iDrive system. I have the aux coded out by the way.

Have you tried forgetting the IDrive Bluetooth audio entirely?

I just forgot the iDrive bluetooth entirely and it works perfectly now! Thanks so much for this thread. It really helped! I also had a red screen like another user here and I ended up without the idrive harness and connecting A->B!

What stupid AA pop are you getting? I have never had a pop on AA that I had to click through. I do hate that I have to hit the menu button for three seconds to get the Carsara box up, are you saying that you never need to do that with CarPlay? For some reason I never had to do that with AA when I first installed but need to all the time now. I also tried to code the quad lock but for some reason I only have CDMM_AUX_HU and CDMM_USB_AUDIO_SINGLE but coding them didn't do anything it seemed.

to your second question, yes, when using Carplay, as soon as I get in and start the car the carplay dashboard is up and ready to go. No holding down menu button to switch over or confirm any pop-up.

Carsara or not
Hey guys,
Great to read all your tips & tricks for installing and using the Carsara system. I have a E91 LCI CIC Navi Pro and was planning on installing the Carsara (or Kremersino) unit I contacted the Carsara store with the following questions: 1. Does the CarPlay menu start automatically when starting the car? Answer Carsara: “No, always have to push the menu 2. does your system support my rear radar when using an after market camera? Answer Carsara: support this function for cars after year 2013 3. Does the CarPlay system automatically switch to OEM radar when reversing? Answer Carsara: if no camera, it will not show parking radar when you reverse when screen is in carplay What are your findings on this? I asked Kremersino the same questions, and the do support al the options I asked about. Thanks in advance ! 🙏 Last edited by FloorBeamer; 03-13-2021 at 05:43 AM.. Reason: Tekst was not complete |

2. This works fine for all CIC cars. My 2011 with camera displays the PDC sensors. 3. Can't confirm this because I have a camera. If I go into reverse before the box has completed booting then I will still get the standard BMW PDC screen.

Can't comment on 2 or 3 as I don't have a camera.

The red screen usually indicates a bad connection. If it's intermittent you may want to check the cable routing and see if anything is getting pinched during reassembly? If it worked then stopped it means everything is plugged in correctly.

Hey guys, I'm new here and proud new owner of a '13 M3 E92!
Couple extra tips I found: -To adjust gps/waze guidance volume, go to the audio settings of the unit and change "Alter Volume". My settings below: -EQ is a work in progress, but I did realize that leaving the unit EQ standard and adjusting on iDrive is way better and with less distortion: Cheers!

Good tips/observations! Curious? My understanding was the CarPlay unit was independent of iDrive with CarPlay audio not impacted by iDrive settings [i.e. bass, treble, eq]. Appreciate to hear more insights on this topic...

Your BMW treats the Carplay box as an aux audio source. The output of that source is driven by the Carplay module. I found that leaving the BMW EQ set a way that made my other audio sources sound good meant the Carplay box required it's own tweaks. If you only use Carplay as an audio source then maybe that's not a concern.

I haven't installed CarPlay yet, "sounds" like the iDrive eq may be the best tuning source with the DSP/amp more closely integrated...some experimentation, tweaking ahead.

Intermittent connection
Just wondering if anyone is having issues with the CarPlay module sometimes connects quickly ie as soon as you start the car, other times it either takes a long time or does not connect at all.
It seems to be fine when you do a manual "CarPlay" off-on from the iPhone settings, it connects almost instantly. Also does anyone know what the latest Firmware / MCU version is for Carsara?. Ta |

If the box has had time to power up and I am on the phone, it'll pair to bluetooth really quickly and will be ready by the time I get the car started up. EX I unlock the car with the keyfob, stick some stuff in the trunk, get in and start it. If I open the car through comfort access, start the car right up and get ready to go - then the box won't necessarily boot by the time I'm ready to go, and the fastest fix is just to go into Bluetooth and tap the Carsara box. As soon as I do that it knows to pair and pops right up. Minor nuisance, but truthfully this happens in my X5 too, I think it has more to do with how frequently the phone is searching for new BT sources while in the background.

Hey guys,
I still can not choose between de Carsara and the Kremersino. So one more question to finally help me to make a decision: Is it possible to mirror you (iPhone) screen wireless to the Carsara unit? The Kremersino claims it can, see this video at 07:55. Hope you have the answer! Thanks in advance! Last edited by FloorBeamer; 03-18-2021 at 10:53 AM.. Reason: Forgot link |
