@StreetSoldierUK Thanks 👍🏻. Yeah definitely worth doing I think.

Great info, I was looking for some time for the exact screen, to add functions to the original system, thank you. This summer is in plan.

@djvenom1842 Yeah they do there's about 10 to choose from but I think there's a way to add more or use personalised wallpapers I think anyway.

Hi BF, impeccable timing again, ordered unit gets here next week. I will need to do the AUX addition at the back of the unit as my car didn't come with an AUX plug at the back of the centre console (previous owner swapped the headunit for one that has the AUX option). I noticed that your new AUX cord doesn't have an inline resistor, but, all the ones I see on Amazon do. Will the resistor have an effect on the line output like the original BMW AUX socket did (before you bypassed it)? Hopefully this makes sense.

Did you had to disconnect the battery negative cable first before installing the android unit.

@HaKiezCanShuFFle1 Hi, I didn't no just turned the ignition off. You can always disconnect the battery to be extra safe.

Hey buddy, I'll assume this is still functional with the earlier M-ASK iDrive System (2006 E63 650i - small screen, no Navigation)?

@sahitdedushi It's comes up if you have the original home screen on. I think you need to change settings for it to come up on new home screen. But a camera is easy and cheap to fit too if you want too.

I went for the M12v unit , I favoured the drive wheel use over the touch screen , also aux audio isn’t that good compared to Fibre optics offer with the MMI units.

I've just tried to order one of these for my e61 530d 2009, I'm in the UK live near Middlesborough but the Autoabc site says that shipping not available to this address, has anyone else experienced this?

@skidillydiddily8571 Thats great news! Let me know if you have any questions. Something worth trying is not connecting the AUX cable to the AUX socket in the car. The other day I unplugged the AUX cable but the music still came through the speakers! Probably a bit clearer too! So try play some music before finally fitting everything back together. It might all work without the Aux cable 👍🏻

@Rik530D Hi, if you ordered through the official website you definitely haven't. I know of lots of subscribers that have ordered with no issue. Definitely worth emailing them to confirm the order though. There can be a delay in response so hopefully they should get back to you ASAP, the email hasn't gone into yoir junk or spam folder has it?
