So for the audio. The way my Avin unit works in my M3 when I connect to it (wired) the sound automatically goes through CarPlay.. then I have to manually go on my phone and change the source to bluetooth. Is that your experience as well or can you just plug it in and listen to CarPlay music? |

I wonder if they would be willing to get close to the Joyeauto GB price with all of us.

So.. I decided to contact Joyeauto to propose a silent group buy. I'm not sure if we want to go through with it after the shadiness but they said they would do it for $285.0 + shipping. And they didn't care if I announce it on here. |

Bummer I liked this box.
There are many others. I exchanged many times with them. Pain to negotiate but you need to keep chatting with them. Ideally you get a new sales who will cut price to get established. I found a couple willing to match the price and finalizing details. Can ship individually which is almost same price as group shipped plus dispatch. I ll keep you posted. Are we all on nbt or some not? |

I hate to admit it now, but CarPlay looks great on the 10.25 screen... I just updated to IOS 13 Beta. Next move is Jailbreaking to add Netflix & Youtube to the mix

When I connect my phone to CarPlay I don't have to do anything to continue listening to the radio or Spotify etc via Bluetooth to the car. If I want to listen to Spotify through CarPlay then yes I have to go into Spotify and select "localhost" as it's called on my phone with the little CarPlay symbol. Sometimes if I am plugged into car play and I get a call and I answer it on the phone it will default to local host audio. And it will be quiet. So I have to go in to audio and switch to BMW. Also to get audio to work on the CarPlay or android unit period is to switch car into aux audio mode. Sometimes the whole things gets confused and I have to disconnect Bluetooth on my phone to get it to go through the hard wire in CarPlay. But that's like once in awhile. I'm sure there's a reason why but idk why it does that sometimes.

I can give you best pricing and you decide.
Unichip will come out around $350 - support 360 camera joyeauto will come out around $330 shipped. - support 360 camera Fctech will come out around $275 shipped - support 360 camera To me it's same feature, regardless of how the box look likes, and putting aside my personal preference. Now UniChip and joyeauto were both tested. Fctech seems to be same box as generic gray. See below. |

+1!! I am in and I had already paid. I just want to make sure we get the best unit available, and not settle for a few extra bucks. With the amount of interest in this GB, we should be able to leverage someone to meet the price.

The attractive aspect of Unichip is that 360 camera has been confirmed by adjusting settings in the "secret" menu by long pressing button 4. It seems as though the consensus believes that the same functionality is possible with Joyeauto but the part I am not sure about is whether that has been verified.
