I think my connection issue is due to my having android auto in my 911 as well. Switching between cars the 650i forgets the connection, so I have to reconnect to get it to work.

BT: check the settings of the MMI for "use car bluetooth". If that is on your calls will be routed through the car's BT and not the MMI Camera: did you configure the dip switches in the MMI correctly? Only the first three should be set to the on position. |

Well I got back in the car ..mmi running smoothly but calls wouldn't go thru oem BT .. there's no consistency.. sometimes It won't let me highlight the call option for the oem BT and vice versa ..if I disable the calls in the mmi BT sometimes it disconnects itself ..

I find it has a bit of a mind of is own sometimes. It forgets settings or the volume level adjusts itself. I hand tested with the same track via Spotify. Had a random error with waze that went away after I cleared the cache date for waze app on my phone.
Also worked out how to use the scroll wheel was a taphole setting but now when I press the phone call button I cant scroll the contacts displayed in my hud. Small inconvenience but just something I found. |

You will need to download the original version and update same way. But before u try that try clearing the cache data in the android auto app. Sometimes these random software issues can be resolved.

I want to have a touch screen, would this work with the touch screen versions? The only I have been able to find are the one's that have Android built in. I just want the conversion in the thread unit with touch screen LCD.

Finally got around to installing this. Would have been easier if I did not decide to try and route everything to the glove box....what a pain. Started her up and no screen, music, or idrive. Went through every fuse and turns out as I was stuffing the mmi unit into place, the 3 first dip switches went back off. Talk about some bad luck. Now everything working fine but not sure how to get my phone working on this thing. Do I need to plug in that audio jack from the mmi unit anywhere. All I plugged in was harness, antenna, USB cable thing, and the lvds. How can I get android auto interface? All I see is MMI interface. I was able to mirror my screen but that is it.

I use android, so can't speak for iPhone, but android phone must be first registered using usb and then depending on what android phone, it can be used wirelessly or with usb. A lot of android phone will not do android auto wirelessly

I am all set up. Will upgrade firmware to get correct DPI tonight but so far its great. I get to use google maps or waze for navigation now. Best part is how great my music sounds. I had a 6th gen ipod with all my tunes on it and no matter which EQ I used, everything would sound like it was missing something. I use Poweramp for android and now can scroll through my playlists and enjoy music with a wider soundstage and custom EQ for each track. For $200 it is worth every penny.
Thank you to all who helped guide me. |

Not sure , I like you having trouble updating certain software . Doesn't make any sense, like I can upload certain software but the one I want to update i can't .. i updated the mmi about 5 times already ..flip flop from the original carlinkit software to the custom firmware for carlinkit v 1.0 without any issues

Mine has started a bad habit of turning off calls in bluetooth, forcing me to reset in the phone, and now callers are getting their own voice as feedback. Waze also no longer works, uninstalled in android and reinstalled and still not working. About to give up and go back to iDrive.
