Also, I am able to use the combox via Bluetooth audio with my Kremersino v1, but I was hoping that the Carsara kit could use the quad lock harness for aux instead of the external plug. Maybe that's not really possible...

Yes, it comes with a connector for the iDrive, and some additional cables which I presume are for other variants. It comes with an external mic, and yes there is some kind of splitter cable but I've only tried it with the supplied mic so far.

One person with Android reports that it does work via aux without plugging into the centre console, and the instructions suggest that this may work too. I'm wondering if there's some difference in the combox setup causing this, I have $6FL and possibly this is the difference? |

Would you be able to post pictures of the mic splitter and iDrive controller cables? I couldn't find detailed pictures for this brand.

I've also got the instructions which shows these, although the iDrive cable I have has a few more options (should be attached). Note, it seems that this unit is the same as the Bimmertech one. |

It also seems like the Bimmertech comes with the mic splitter cable but this Carsana one doesn't? Not sure if that's something that can get sourced separately or just find a very covert way of mounting the microphone. It sounds like people had generally good results with nobody complaining about sound quality, maybe I'll impulse buy one of these and see if I can get it installed and tested and if it still has an issue have time before the Bimmertech Black Friday sale...

I went ahead and ordered one, I guess I'll take the guinea pig route since most of the folks on that other thread seemed to have good things to say. Does anybody have a recommendation for the backup camera? Theres dozens and all seem to have various complaints about fit and finish and everything else. Would rather not spend the time wiring something up only to find out it's garbage and doesn't fit properly (unless they're all garbage and I need to lower my expectations or try the OEM route).

Did you have the fiber optic cable that has to be re-seated in the new quad lock connector? I wonder if that's part of it. Also, how is the quality of the bass signal from this unit?

I'm playing with EQ which makes a big difference to the sound through the 3.5mm plug but need to play more to see if I can get it to an acceptable level. |

Not great no, the consensus is that by tweaking EQ you can get it to 'nearly as good as bluetooth' which would be OK - remember you can still drop back to the main system too.
The guy who got it working via quadloack aux says the sound is better - I think that's to do with the low output (or expectations of high input from the 3.5mm plug). Playing with EQ certainly improves it, I'll keep trying but would love to get it working without plugging in. |

I did quite a bit of research on this, and I believe you are correct. I even tried coding to force the aux to be routed at the back of the CIC unit, never did get it to work.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KQDPM8R..._jSFJFb972YM4Y I have pretty bad hearing so I'm not really sure I "care" much, let alone giving up even more space inside the console (unless there is a clever way of fitting this underneath) but wonder if this would solve some of those issues. Amazon has a pretty forgiving return policy, might be worth trying as a science project.
