Quadlock can be shoved to the lower right pocket area.. It is a very tight opening but it will get through. Pics would be awesome! Especially the module location too. From what I gather, the JoyeAuto has EQ, this doesnt?

A few pics of the setup - inside the armrest and under the glovebox. Not a whole lot to look at but hope it's helpful.
Basically I removed the tab that holds the armrest closed, and drilled a slot out on one of the sides of the opening for the AUX and USB cables. The USB does charge the phone, but Kremersino said it's not a high amperage, so I am also using a double USB dongle with one USB supplying additional power - that is plugged into the OEM USB slot.

After a few days of listening, while the sound clarity over AUX is good, I must say it is defiinitely missing some bass, compared to normal CIC audio. I haven't messed with the car's EQ to see if that helps much yet...
I also got some strange Carplay behavior this morning - I had Waze and Spotify open at the same time and the Spotify music kept cutting in and out, and switching back and forth to Waze and selecting via the iDrive controller was very laggy and slow. My cellular signal was very strong and in 4G mode. I haven't seen this before today. I am contacting Kremersino and will see what they say.

EDIT: I messed with the Equalizer in Spotify and increased the bass in Tone settings and it did help some. Sounds a bit better now. Still not as "full" as other audio sources, but better. Overall the sound quality is still quite good.

Meanwhile, I did some investigation and contacted IDCORE (which looks like one of the original manufacturer of these boxes), which told me the only authorised reseller is Unique-AD (same owner of IDCORE). They told me JoeyAuto is not an authorised reseller and that they're aware these "cloned" boxes are around with identical looks to theirs but with cheaper internals (according to them!), as they use Chinese domestic components; this obviously comes off as a pretty sketchy statement as I'm sure IDCORE boxes themselves are manufactured in China with chinese components.. otherwise other companies (JoeyCar) selling identical boxes wouldn't have appeared. They also informed me that they have a beta firmware with Android Auto support and that they can preinstall it for new orders. JoeyAuto instead confirmed me that their boxes come with Android Auto, although they could be just referring to MirrorLink which is known to be supported.. or they already got hold of the new beta firmware from IDCORE.. OR they branched off their own version of the firmware - god knows what happens in China! Knowing that the voice command button on the steering wheel is not programmed to invoke Siri (confirmed by multiple manufacturers that they don't do it as it would clash with OEM voice commands) I've asked both IDCORE and JoeyAuto if they plan to at least make it optional so people who don't have OEM voice commands at all or decide to disable it with coding can make use of it. Both said that they will not do it, unfortunately. |

I know this is an after thought but you could pass the Aux cord through the arm rest storage without drilling holes. I removed the plastic slotted cover (I circled in red in your pic) near the hand brake and passed it through here. On my car the cover is currently off. The cable is too large to actually pass through the slots but you could drill into the cover to create a decent opening. I imagine this would be better than drilling holes into your actual storage area. I got JoyeAuto wired

Interesting. Where does your module get placed? Same area? 335i shouldn't matter as the CIC unit is identical.

Thanks for the suggestion on routing the cables. I was trying to get that slotted cover off but I couldn't figure out how to pry it off so I gave up. apparently too soon!

The "Option" button on the idrive controller activates Siri.

The data side is plugged into the usb cable on the kremersino box, and the power side is plugged into the original bmw USB port. Though I will say wireless CarPlay seems to work just as well as wired.

I do believe the CIC is the same, could just be a Unichip feature. Mine is definitely an early CIC systems if that matters, late 2009 build. Hitting the phone icon on the wheel brings up the phone app; Next/Previous track work as well.

Both Kremersino and JoeyAuto told me that they disabled it and moved it to the iDrive controller due to conflict issues with the OEM voice command function. Quote:
Your voice command button activating OEM voice command function simply means that your CarPlay box doesn't interject that button. I think there are 3 main manufacturers of CarPlay boxes, let me try to put it down on a list and please correct it if I'm wrong: IDCORE (wireless) reselled by Unique-AD reselled/repackaged(?) by JoeyAuto + starts automatically on engine start - supports only external microphone - can't use steering wheel voice command button to invoke Siri - doesn't seem to "officially" support Android Auto yet, only in beta Kremersino (wireless) very similar to IDCORE but different shape, menu + supports Android Auto - supports only external microphone - doesn't start automatically on engine start - can't use steering wheel voice command button to invoke Siri Unichip (wired) reselled by Carlinkit + connects to OEM microphone + can use steering wheel voice command button to invoke Siri - it's wired only Last edited by ludalex; 06-28-2019 at 09:33 AM.. |

The wired JoyeAuto says "Limecet" when you connect to it. That might be the older unit original chip manufacturer too? Not even sure.
It might need to be noted if the Unichip requires the quadlock or not.

It also does start automatically on engine start, but doesn't go into Carplay mode until you press the Menu button for a few seconds.
