I’m glad it doesn’t look cheesy like the older aftermarket units looked

Nice review, thankyou I have an Xtrons unit which uses the exact same hardware and interface as the Avin unit.

Just for the record; the bootup is quick because it doesn't switch off. it's always on half asleep and that's why it's ready when you turn the key. I believe after 2 or three days of the car not starting then it will switch itself off and you'll see the bootup logo etc.

thanks, looking to buy one

Radio reception has been just fine since installing the Avin. Uses the factory antenna connection so that’s kind of expected. I’ll be sure to post an ibus video when I can finally get one.

Really want this for mine now! Wish they’d give you a discount code

Hi Brian! It does still effect the sound just as stock. So it’s a clean install all around! :)

Hey how did you keep your illumination on because I already adjusted mine and it doesn’t stay on for a long time it turns off that’s one of the reason I bought this unit because of the cool lights you change too. Any help I would really appreciate it because Avin customer support can takes forever

Do the unit's button backlights and screen dim when the car's headlights are on?

Hi. How works at your radio fader on front and back and balans left/right. You only hear 1 speaker if you wont hear only 1, if set just only one? Sorry for my not perfect english, im from Poland and I just try learning xD. Regards ;)

Got an M3 with one of these already installed recently, trying to figure out how to get Apple Carplay setup... I don't have the Autoplay app installed, nor do I see it on the app store. Does it still exist? Is wired carplay available on this or just wireless with the dongle?

does this have the option to turn on/off daylight driving lights?

Thanks for making this video, I'm about to pull the trigger on a loaded one. Do I have to order either the black or white dongle to be able to connect the phone to the hu for Android?

They both will work. One is just wireless which in my opinion is worth it. As soon as I get in the car, the phone connects and CarPlay (in my case) opens right away.

hey RJ, looks good! question about the IBus app. From your install video, i noticed that you didnt install the IBUS USB adapter.. does that mean the IBUS app you mention here doesnt actually work on your head unit at the moment? I noticed that they are currently out of stock on the Avin website. Will you be doing another install video of how to do this in the future?

Hey Marcus! So AVIN doesn’t have the ibus adapters at the moment. There is a new adapter that was just released with more features. Those should be arriving shortly. I will try to get an adapter and maybe make a quick walk through video of the install and use process!

@@m3an467 One more question RJ - since the backup camera replaces one of the license plate lights, does that mean when your car is not in reverse, you only have only light shining on your plate at night? Assuming the 4 leds are only on when you put your car in reverse. Also, do you know the brightness of the backup LEDs (4000k?). Are you able to match it with your license plate LEDs?

@m3an467

When wiring the reverse camera in there are two separate sources of power. When the reverse lights come on, the camera and surrounding LEDs light up. The license plate LEDs work as normal. I installed an LED license plate light to match. Not sure of the hue.

@@m3an467 okay i have mine all setup and works great! ... except I cant get my front DVR camera to display any video. its very frustrating. Ive followed AVIN support, telling me to uninstall the HD DVR app that came with the head unit, ensure i have a microsd FAT32 card inside the DVR, and install the new HD DVR app via apk file they provided. but still no video... any tips at all??

I have the exact same unit. Mine is producing an audible hiss from right side speakers when the volume is not muted, but the unit does not play anything. And the hiss goes away when you press the volume knob to mute it fully. I can hear it very clearly coming from right side speakers. Did you notice that on yours?

Looks like you replaced the business cd with hk system. I have the same setup. Are you getting any speaker hiss like I am? I heard sending speaker level outputs from the avin unit to the stock hk amp may cause issues. Thoughts?

@m3an467

If I have no audio playing I do hear a hissing. But that is the same behavior with event the stock business unit using an AUX port. I don’t hear any sort of distortion when I play audio. One thing I want to adjust is audio levels between sources. Sometime one source is louder than another (Bluetooth vs CarPlay) which can cause distortion (again the same as any unit).

@yhp99

Ive had the same issue. Funny things is if i turn the radio on and then turn it off (essentially the audio source has to be directed to the radio) then the hissing is gone. But if Im playing music from the saved files in the AVIN unit or the usb stick, then it hisses when i turn it off. I wonder if anyone knows a fix for this?

Looking to install this unit in my E38 anyone know a good installer in MA?

What’s the real life difference between the four different CPU options? There are PX4, PX6 and two different Qualcomm options. I’d like to use fluent apple car play navigation. Will be the PX4 configuration sufficient enough? Also: The base configuration does already include wired apple car play right? I only need to purchase the separate adapter if I need wireless CarPlay. Is that correct?

@m3an467

Жыл бұрын

I can’t speak to the newer CPU options but the PX6 has been great and runs smooth with CarPlay. At the time I got mine, there were two adapter options that needed to be purchased for Apple CarPlay (wired or wireless dongle).

Is it possible to match the color and brightness of the buttons exactly with the other bottoms like the climate control? Thanks :)

Yes it is - by default it is more red than the BMW orange, but you can manage to set to color correctly. You can't set the brightness though. Brightness almost completely matches the car's buttons' brightness when it is set to max.

buttons color are red or like factory orange?

Hey man, im in need of serious assistance. I need help trying to figure out my Avant 4 unit. All of the videos that i found reguarding this unit are all running the older version of android. I paid a large amount of money to get this unit installed. 1. I need a better instruction of how to install the autoplay carplay application - I have the wireless carplay optiion and im unable to figure out how to use it because the app is not installed ? Do i connect the unit to wifi and install the app directly from the store? ? Do i have to copy the download from the website THIS THING IS SADLY NOT USER FRIENDLY AT ALL - I am also unhappy that i need to use the A2dp app for bluetooth music instead of running it through the head unit "music" section. you say its easy to use, im having such a hard time. I also have the better version the px6 i believe. I also need help editing my screen configuration, all of these apps are present that i dont really need. Please, im honestly in a panic, i have so much money into this system and im unhappy. If you could help me id be so relieved. Let me know. I believe you are the only one able to help.

Hey! No worries. So the wireless CarPlay app was preinstalled for me. If you still need it, I would reach out to AVIN or check their support page on the website to get the app. It’s called AutoPlay. You will need to connect to WiFi and install it directly through the head unit as any other application. All you should have to do after that is plug the CarPlay adapter in the USB port and you should be set. As far as homescreen configuration, I’m not entirely sure as there are some apps you can not remove yourself. That would be a question for AVIN if that’s possible. I’m sure it is but it’s probably a more involved process.

Is it possible to get in touch with you?
