Joyeauto Wireless Carplay thoughts/improvements
This thread is meant to be a wish list/troubleshooting list to send to Joyeauto for any improvements that we'd like to see made. The unit is 90% perfect, but heres a few changes i'd like to see to get closer to that 100%.
My personal requests: 1.) Being able to switch between 2 connected devices. When Carplay is active, it locks you out of the 'connected devices' menu 2.) On a phone running iOS 12 there is a black screen coming in and out of Carplay. This doesn't happen on my phone running iOS 13 beta so it may be fixed when the official iOS drops. 3.) This is a petty change, but it doesn't like it when you spin the iDrive controller fast. 4.) I'd like all the other iDrive button 'mappable.' For instance, i'd like to set my Nav button to open Waze. Please keep this thread on topic, this isnt meant for install questions unless it is an improvement. |

Interesting topic vastano. Hopefully someone with a F15/F85 factory installed CarPlay can chime in with what's possible and/or correctable. This way we have a more realistic expectation from this retrofit.
While this doesn't address all the questions you posted, I found this thread over on the G03 forum:https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1640460 Even the G05 forum have something to say about it: https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1545438 In the mean time, I'll browse a few more F/G forums to find more info...hth

1.) Being able to switch between 2 connected devices. When Carplay is active, it locks you out of the 'connected devices' menu [COLOR="Red"]I don't have more than one device so I haven't noticed this one[/COLOR] 2.) On a phone running iOS 12 there is a black screen coming in and out of Carplay. This doesn't happen on my phone running iOS 13 beta so it may be fixed when the official iOS drops. [COLOR="Red"]Are you referring to the black screen when switching between CarPlay and iDrive via long press of the back button? I have it too and it sucks.[/COLOR] 3.) This is a petty change, but it doesn't like it when you spin the iDrive controller fast. [COLOR="Red"]I don't think this is petty.. I notice it too. It doesn't seem to happen when navigating via the steering wheel. [/COLOR] 4.) I'd like all the other iDrive button 'mappable.' For instance, i'd like to set my Nav button to open Waze. [COLOR="Red"]This is by far my biggest gripe. It's a pain in the ass having to scroll between the music app and the nav app the hard way. If not settable they should at least have the buttons programmed to their respective functions.. like nav to nav, media to music and phone to phone. Is it better in IOS 13 since it looks like music and maps can be on the same screen?[/COLOR] 5.) When using the phone via CarPlay (external mic) the person on the other end of the line hears their echo. I suspect this is just feedback from the call coming from the speakers. 6.) Front camera never works in CarPlay. Edit: adding 7 7.) A method to change songs without navigating to next song in music app. For example using the arrow keys by the numbers. |

1.) One guy on the F30 forum said his contacts got co-mingled with his wife's contacts & learned to live with it, BUT this was on factory OEM BMW CarPlay. Both my wife & I have our phones paired to iDrive/CarPlay, but not simultaneously. Not sure I want/need this feature.
2). I don't experience this (less than 1 sec. switching). In the Joyeauto UI, make sure that rear and front cameras, DVD, BT, TV, and DVR are ALL turned off in the settings menu. 3.) Thumb wheel on steering wheel works fine, yes iDrive wheel is indeed laggy. 4.) Programming memory buttons 1-8? I'll try experimenting with this & report back. Or just say: 'Hey Siri'! 5.) Experienced this early on, but no longer have this echo problem. Feedback from the placement of the mic, perhaps? 6.) See number 2.

It's still a workaround though.. I'd rather see the cam come up when you pull up to an object. |

Yea or maybe just point them to this thread? I wonder if they can even access bimmerpost or if they're blocked by the great firewall?

No, but if you have factory cameras, go into Joyeauto menu (BMW logo) and turn off all cameras, DVD, etc

I thought I did it, but I will go and check it again. I think the problem is somewhere either in settings or in firmware of the unit, because it does show backup and surround cameras when I am in parking and press park button.

I texted to Joyeauto and got their response. It was: "Dip switch 8 set ON". I didn't fully understand what they meant, but I will check it again today or tomorrow.

I realize im the OP, but has anyone contacted Joyeauto referencing this thread? If not I was going to go ahead and send them the info via WhatsApp. Of course if someone has a contact already, feel free to go ahead and send them the link.

Also, I think we should prioritize things that we want fixed. For me the highest priority items are 4 - 7(just added) - 6 - 5 |

Tapping into the factory mic would be nice.
Also designing the unit to be fitted into the tight space would be a plus Most of the complaints seem to be trying to fit it into the cramped space |
