Also put good attention on the video you posted, on the 1:02 minute mark he takes off the green cable from the factory harness and he installs it (1:38) on the Unichip harness

Ive just finished the install, I triple checked every connection and took my time - didn't even take 90 mins. Easier than it looks online! BUT there is a problem. The following 3 screens are what I see. 1: before I plug in my phone. 2: once my phone is plugged in (loads for about 5 seconds) 3: blank screen. I've reached out to UNICHIP, hope to get some help. Will suck to pull everything back apart... EDIT: As I expected it was the cable. Cheap amazon basics cable did not work, went to original white iPhone cable and it works perfectly. So far.

OK so I'm fully up and running. Still need to do a proper drive and see how it all works out, but initial thoughts:
-I REALLY squeezed it behind the OEM headunit. I just pushed as hard as possible and screwed down the main headunit.. Hopefully that all works out with both devices jammed up (plus all cables) in such a small space. -The aftermarket microphone is a bummer. I have it sticking out of the headliner on the passenger side of the eyeglass holder... It's not a perfect solution (both in looks & distance to my mouth). What did you guys all do? -There seem to be random static lines about 1-3" long, lasting about 1-3 frames per second every now and then. Could be interference between cables too close to each other, or a cable not 100% secure. All in all very excited to have this installed and running. As Apple updates CarPlay, our cars will be updated as well! Very cool. |

Are there any active group buys for the Unitech?
I like the CarPlay we have in our G01, would like to add it to my 2015 F15 with iD4, but at full price it's a bit silly... |

Search a bit. There's another thread covering aftermarket CarPlay including reviews and a group buy that I did for unichip.

I had issues with listening to radio while having car play open. Audio was fine but i couldn't switch between radio stations via the hud as usual.

Hi all,

( The HU doesn't restart automatically) My I-step (current) is : 18-11-551. Any ideas to why my HU doesn't reboot automatically ? Thanks in advance for your answer ! |
