what if you plug the aux in here?
https://mr12v.com/products/mr12volt-...ve-e90-e60-f01
would it sound better? (mainly for us CCC)

I really don't want to spend extra $450~ to upgrade from ccc to cic just to have a better screen resolution and use the MOST CarPlay & Android Auto Interface

maybe i can buy the most bluetooth and this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...39012773%22%7D

Anyone know a way to change this behavior? I'd prefer if android auto would autostart, since that's what I use most frequently.
I have the same problem but with the Kremersino v2. I want it to auto-connect to an Android phone. Anyone know if there is a secret menu on the Kremersino boxes?

Thanks,

Anyone here have the mr12volt kit on CCC? Looking for some first hand experience with it to decide if the low resolution is a deal-breaker.

Check out this post from the thread that bighindu79 mentioned. There are some detailed photos how the Mr12Volt looks on a CCC system. The lower resolution actually does not look too bad.

Is there a setting I am missing or a possible firmware update (couldn’t find any)

This is the unit I got:

Hi, long time lurker; first time poster

I am having the exact same issue you had above!

Android auto resolution is stretched. Tried it on my mates iPhone and it looks fine on the Apple Carplay, but the android resolution isn't clear.



I have been into the advanced settings and changed the Aspect ratio and it doesn't make a difference? In fact, which ever Aspect ratio I select, the resolution looks the same?

Any pointers? Could you maybe take a picture of your settings in case mine is out?

I have the following Limcet unit
£260.59 35%OFF | Wireless Apple Carplay For BMW CCC 1 3 5 6 7 sertes X1 X3 X5 X6 Z4 E60 E61 E62 E63 E70 E71 E8 Android Auto Mirroring Car Play
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMyKeea - the unit might look slightly different but the interface and the settings is exactly the same as yours

I have a 2009 e93 m3 with the CCC unit

Thanks for any help in advance

So a small update, I have fixed the resolution issue! Contacted the seller on Ali express, who got me to try a few things, all which didn't resolve it. So they sent me a software update. Updated the unit software and it works a treat! Looks stunning now.



Just need to sort the sound issue now (only plays through the right speaker) - need to test whether it's the aux cable from the unit or the aux port itself. Anyone have any ideas?

Otherwise very happy!

Hey mate, do you still have these files?

I installed a joyeauto cic carplay box a couple of days ago and for some reason the resulotion is way off. I tried all the dip switch variations from the included instructions and none seem to solve it. Has anyone encountered this problem? I tried contacting them through whatsapp but they don't respond.

Does anybody have the latest firmware for the limcet box?

I purchased a used 320D with a limcet fitted, dealer had no idea, but am having a few random issues with connection and functionality. My box details are attached.

Hey everyone I was wondering if anyone noticed same issue as me. Since these modules connect over AUX for the audio, I've been using it like that over a week and I had a feeling my bass was weaker. After testing, low and behold the bass is so bad and significantly less "bumpy" than using the stock CIC over Bluetooth. The module I have is Road Top and I got it from ebay but even when testing my smartphone over AUX cable, I have the same exact effect so it mustn't be the module that is the problem. Has anyone encountered this as well and is it just the way the AUX connection is in these cars? Is there some kind of fix? It's a bit of a bummer I must say.
