mrfochon - routing audio through B/T is less than ideal. if you want turn-by-turn directions from google or waze, you will need to change audio sources. if you want waze to be heard, then would you need to run your music app through the AUX port? the ideal setup imo is not using AUX port (for sound quality reasons).

Reading through this thread some more it sounds like the people with kremersino boxes are having issues with sound. I don't want to take a chance of that happening again! Let's keep going with Joyeauto..

None of these will require aux cord for audio. I keep seeing that question come up.

You should also add a section for android unit. As the only flaw to that unit is it requires you to replace screen which is easy and you have to add your own dongle for wireless CarPlay. For me I had CarPlay built in to mine and every feature works as factory regardless of in car play or NBT

I didn't want to consider that because I'm not happy with the one in my M3. I wouldn't go that route again personally. It sounds like you have a much better unit though. It feels like too many options is making our group buy fall apart

I got them through a local friend in China. Thus the price tag.
There s a plethora of these boxes. The name is not important to me more than the supported features, upgrade and company support.

They are new, are willing to make deals, why not jump ?

Well not sure about the f80 units but the f15 units (I've had 3 now, 2 android and 1 CarPlay) are solid with the android units being better than the CarPlay as far as functionality. Check the review.

Yea I can see the appeal if you want to have the android functionality like the video that one of the guys from the review thread posted.



For me I don't want that.. I only want wireless CarPlay.

Hello everyone, I am kind of lost between version of CarPlay upgrades. I did read the thread, but it keeps changing and because I don't read it everyday I keep mixing things up.
So I have a few questions for group buy which I believe is for the Joyeauto Wireless adapter kit:
Is there a list of functionalities I will loose if I install it?
Is it wireless?
How much it costs with shipping? I live in Houston TX.

Welcome to the party.. don't worry we're all a little confused. Yes, the group buy is for Joyeauto and yes it is wireless. As far as functions that we will potentially lose we are not sure yet. The problem with these retrofit units is we are all basically beta testers. To me the biggest questions are audio quality and parking camera/sensor. I've heard that audio isn't bad and the parking sensor mostly work but it's still not confirmed. For the most part it seems like they'll be good. @[sbinshihon] (contact:243654) is the best one to ask specific things since he already has one. As for price we don't know yet. If we get enough people it'll be $270 and Joyeauto said it should be $25 – $30 for shipping.

Agreed - i just want wireless car play without any impact of PDC or 360 Cam functionality.

Amsterdave confirmed that Kremersino's unit fits that bill with 360 support and at $299 for 10 sets that's a decent price. Any downside to these that i'm missing?

Mrfouchon has the FCTech @ $275 and AutoPlus @ $240 with what both seem to be the same functionality as the Kermersino. Has anyone confirmed the360 support thought?

skoold2003 has done great work with Joy Auto but if they don't have 360 support I see that as a deal breaker.

My preference would be for the lowest price unit that is wireless and has 360 support within carplay.

Anyone disagree with that approach?

I agree with you on this one. I certainly want all these features, especially the 360 cam. I'll join the group buy for this unit only with 360 cam support.

I would totally agree with that approach. As I mentioned before it's not confirmed on any of the wireless units.

So I had an idea. I contacted Joyeauto explaining our dilemma and asked them if they would send me a unit to demo for our group hoping that they would see the benefit. They did not. I was thinking I'll try to do the same with kremersino but i suspect that will fail too. Perhaps someone could try and ask.
If nobody will give us a unit to demo perhaps we should elect for someone to buy one to test for the group.. or somehow randomly pick someone. Then we can all pitch in and buy it? Would you guys be willing to pitch in $15 – 20 for someone to do a test before our group buy? It would have to be someone with 360 cam and harmon kardon.. and anything else we want to verify.

I'm in total agreement with the above. If I potentially lose 360 camera view auto functionality and if the entertainment sound system suffers, then it is a deal breaker for me.

Then what happens with:
- if the box does not support 360 camera ?
- what's the group consensus ?
- What do you do with the unit?
- How do you give back to the people who game the $? Or is it a donation ?
This plans sound complex.

Let me suggest something else, I ll get a box from FCtech at my expense.
Anyone in greater nyc willing to test the 360, which I do not have, no charge for you? Time and effort to install together.

Satisfied with the result, you can keep it. Not satisfied, I ll take it for my car.

How does this sound ? Candidates ?
