After having the most recent version of the mr12volt in my car for 5 days now, the OEM mic support is a great improvement over the previous version with the separate mic (which in my opinion wasn't even usable). I'd previously been using airpods for phone calls while in the car, but after installing this latest mr12volt version I'm able to use the OEM mic for calls again which is great. I don't make a ton of calls in the car but the handful of calls I have been on have sounded just fine on both ends. Probably not a big enough reason alone for most people to warrant the time+cost to upgrade, but if buying a new carplay box (or in my case replacing a failed unit) this would be the one to get.
I got it from GORDON.M3, shipped out within a day of ordering and I had it a few days later. Highly recommended! |

Some people prefer to exit carplay and make calls thru iDrive since you then are using the oem mic. but i like staying in, as you are trying to do.

I need to do more investigation, but essentially the sound is very muffled and somewhat muted (to the other party, I can hear fine). One call I had when the car was off seemed ok, but I just don't answer calls while driving now (or take my airpods with me for calls).

I have a mr12volt and I bought ProTools to have it coded on my 2008 with the CCC since it didn’t work when I initially just plugged it up. I am having a hard time finding my way through ProTools to code this thing and get it working. Can anyone help guide me? I would really appreciate it.

There's nothing in the advanced menu that end-users will need to use hence why they changed the password. People were tampering with the settings and bricking their own units trying to claim warranty with Mr12volt.

Has there been an updated rear camera anyone recommends? Or is it still the one from before? I have the one that’s been posted before and haven’t installed it yet but I think I’m finally going to do it but wanted to see if there was a newer one that anyone recommends. I know people have claimed the camera low light vision sucks at night or during low light. So seeing if anyone is using one better?

Hi everyone,
After taking some time to read the entire thread, I ordered and installed the unit in my 09 E92 yesterday. It's not working, and I was hoping someone could confirm some of my observations to help me debug the issue. My car is prod 04/09 CIC system with the following options: 639 - BMW Assist with Bluetooth 609 - Navigation System 620 - Voice Command 653 - HD Radio 6UH - Real Time Traffic Information 655 - Sirius XM Radio 6AA - BMW TeleServices 6AB - TeleService Control 6FL - iPod and USB Adapter 752 - Enhanced Premium Sound As the car does not have a CD changer, I did not use the MOST bypass loop provided in the kit, only the FO Cable. After connecting everything and turning on the car, the I get two errors: 1. SOS call system malfunction! 2. No warning tones No audio is working at all (radio, cd, usb). The Mr12Volt unit is showing a red light, and rest of the system seems to be functional. From reading this thread, I am under the impression that until the coding is done, the factory system should behave the same way as before the install. But the coding is what enables you to switch to CDC and use the Mr12Volt unit. Also there have been a few posts here that these are symptoms of an open MOST Loop. I suspect that the current coding in my car: CDMM_CHANGER_3 == kein_cdc is possibly disabling CD changer support, which is causing the issue. Does this sound plausible to anyone? I am thinking to either recode to mp3_cdc and then re-install the system or re-install the system then recode. Not sure which order here is better. Thanks in advance for any help and input! |

Also coding should be done before the install, once the Plug and plug quadlock harness is installed behind the headunit, you won't be able to code the CIC anymore.

Just wondering, what about the harness makes it so that you can't code CIC after it's installed? I've seen plenty of posts about the coding being done after the install. |

Unplug the fiber optic connection on the mr12volt unit while the car is on. Do you see red light coming out of the cable? You should. If you don't, its not the unit. Assuming you don't, work your way backwards from the spliter. Is there light coming from fiber optic connection on the vehicle harness? There should be. Remember, MOST is a loop. Each device sends the signal to the next device in the loop. When the loop is broken, you just need to walk back to where you lose signal. For the coding question, I think where this is possibly confusing some people is the previous mr12 volt boxes connected differently, by tapping into canbus at the idrive controller. People are able to code CIC with these versions installed. The new oem microphone version uses a quadlock adapter with the cic unit quadlock plug. Something about connecting this way appears to break the ability to code the CIC unit. |

Hello
I have bought p600 for my e87 130i with CCC (rotating screen) with S609 Navigation System Professional S644 Preparation F Mobile Phone W Bluetooth S672 CD Changer For 6 CDs Problem: the p600 gets power and connects to my phone, but the “CD” is greyed out on my drive screen. i have tried everything, - Connecting directly to factory fitted CDC at trunk of car, -Connecting use Y loop behind my CCC in the dash and done the loop on the CDC - Random Fiber optic cable under glovebox being looped. - checked all FO connects and correct direction - seeing red light outputting everywhere correctly - cds work in drive and CDC when reverting and shows in idrive as normal other information , i have a MULF2 fitted at boot for factory phone bluetooth. I have no idea what’s working and Mr12 Volt doesn’t reply to me anymore |
