Linux Carplay/AAuto screen install/experience
Hi. Been lurking here ever since i bought my first ever car. There was an E83 parked outside where we where living back in 2010, and since then thatīs been my dream car. Ended up buying an F25 a year ago, since the interiour of the E83 looked too dated. Amazing car. Itīs got everything I need in a car... except for maps, wireless music/podcasts stuff. So beeen looking to install an aftermarket system for over a year. But the install scared me, the quality of the screen, of audio etc and most of all: How to install the cable to the aux-port, and how long it would take for these Android-systems to start up.
Ended up buying a Linux 8.8 screen. I could not find any information or instructions about the unit, but I just hoped for the best. Iīm only intrested in Carplay and Android auto so an Android unit felt kind of overkill. Installation took 1h. When I tested out the unit before I put everything back together, I forgot to connect the Aux-cable. But the music would play anyway! Normaly, my car canīt stream music over bluetooth, but now it worked, and I did not have to drag the Aux-cable to the armrest! Also the system starts up as fast as the OEM BMW system. Like 4-5 seconds. Stearingwheel controls works, and mic/Siri commands work! Reverse camera works. Last edited by paulreedsmith; 01-01-2024 at 12:34 PM.. |
