I have seen the charging icon appear on the right side of the battery icon when is plugged, so its just a lack of power....

Digital audio signal pass through instead of AUX
I'm looking in to buying one of these.
So far all the options discussed, route the audio via AUX. my questions are: - Are there any solutions that pass on the digital signal to HK unit? - If not, the feedback around audio seems to be fine, do we know what DAC chip is used and which unit has better sound quality? - I see other units on Aliexpress like this one, which doesn't come with Aux cable, do we know if newer units have the capability to pass on the digital signal? |

Hi folks, here to share my experience. I have a 2016 X5 (F15), so I’ve missed carplay by a year and decided to buy the MMI box to enable it. Bought one off eBay which looked exactly like the one from Bimmer, but was half the price. Installation was a bit tricky because of very little space behind the OEM radio unit, sweat dropping as I was trying to wiggle it into place and make the radio fit back, but everything works like a charm. Here’s a link to the one I bought in case you are looking to buy one that is verified: LINK
Because I have an iPhone I didn’t even have to plug in the USB cable and make it stick out under the dashboard, everything works fine wireless, I can use both the iDrive controller and the little scrolling thingy on the steering wheel to control it and FINALLY I have a full advanced equalizer (I have the basic BMW audio system and had only controls for bass and trebble), so the music sounds waaay better now. I’ll try to upload some photos from the process. Last edited by f4r0kh; 07-17-2021 at 03:37 PM.. |

Thanks for posting. How do you find the smoothness, etc? Does it feel like something that came from the factory? Considering this but if it requires too much ‘extra’ knowledge or interaction it may be a hindrance to my wife… Looks good tho! |

P.S.: if your wife decides not to use it, you can only pair it to your phone and she can keep using the OEM iDrive system. The audio source settings are saved to your driver profile, so you can set hers to bluetooth and yours to AUX. But I bet she’ll want it too |
