Actually you'll be the 5th. The rest haven't responded letting me know that they still want in. I'm just keeping the list there hoping that they'll get notified and chime in.

I routed the external mic behind the central display on the left side hidden from view. The USB cable (optional) & wireless antenna (mandatory) were routed through the glove box opening on the upper left side, with no cutting necessary. There's 2 sided tape to allow the antenna to stick to the top of the glove box (plastic material).

I provided a short clip of the 360 and rear camera in action. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this product. For the group buy, I would recommend the Joyeauto (rebranded UAD kit) unit for 1/2 as much!

Your phone is so low on battery. You should build yourself one of these

Indeed.. welcome. I'm thinking that we should just buy once we get to 10. It's only a $15 cost savings and I'm tired of waiting.

I agree with that.

[raulsosa]

I want to be in the list for the group buy.

[Kzang]

Hello, before I commit, can someone put together a summarization of limitations the unit we are proposing to group buy? I've started following this thread but it got confusing quickly with different units being discussed.

[mrfochon]

I know I did advocate for a group buy, still have my contacts in China and can get best offers.
That being said I have other priorities for now. So here is a quick contribution.

For those who do not want to wait for the group buy you can buy on eBay:
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F392385632297

This is a universal unit wireless and has all the same functions as others.

Thanks for the eBay link.

Here is my problem... I don't want or need touchscreen capabilities because IMO its useless to use especially when driving. Its quite difficult to point and click while the car is moving unless you have a place to rest your palm. ( I have a Subaru with apple carplay and touch screen capabilities )

My other problem is I want a unit that integrates with our current microphone, allows 360 camera views and all other BMW default features working as intended.

With that said, before I commit to a group buy, I want to be sure I am getting the unit with my expectations.

[CatalinP]

Dream on!

One more confirmed. I guess I sent visitor messages and not private messages earlier.. I'll try private messages now

I'm down. This will work for ID4 correct?.... Will we all pay individually or are you taking payment from everyone?

This should suit your all your needs just fine. Genuine BMW parts too, and you might save some money by skipping the touch screen & iDrive controller: https://www.bimmer-tech.net/shop/bmw...ation-retrofit

This works for NBT yes.

I'm hoping that Joyeauto will just be able to take payments direct from each person. My thought was that I will just use something like gbf15 for our group buy and everyone can reference it when they send their payment. I emailed them to confirm price yesterday and they told me the cost would be $280.0+$24.25(DHL shipping) +$15(Paypal cost) =$319.25. I suggest we use F & F so we can avoid the $15 PayPal cost.. so assuming it'll be around $304.25 each.

[Brentmc]

I'm in.

[KCTiger]

Alright fine I am down. Let me know when I need to pay and how.

Alright guys.. we've got 11! I'll reach out to them and figure out how we'll do this. Anyone else who wants in speak now or forever hold your peace.

I am almost in.

Can someone explain this:

"Integrates with the built-in microphone External mic is needed"

Why the need for ext. mic if it integrates with built-in?

Thanks.

Actually I was wondering about the "Hey Siri" part. Are you not able to invoke Siri by pressing the steering wheel button?

[beholder]

Do you know if you can do split screen like on IDrive or does CarPlay take the entire screen when you switch over?
