I was super excited to see this update but there is a few bugs I'm afraid. Small one: Not all iDrive controllers have the same buttons. So "map" in mine opens the contacts. Big ones: 1. The media opens Apple music, not the one that's currently playing. So if I use Podcast app, even if it's playing at that moment, Apple music opens on button press. 2. The Menu button still doesn't bring you to the Carplay "dashboard" where you see the map, music play and calendar etc. Competitor MMI boxes do this. Disappointed it was missed again as I've mailed this feedback to you folks in the past.
Does the update include BMW F10 MMI unit as well?
It includes only our CarPlay/Android MMI system
Seems like it isn't upgradable for my 2014 i3 with MMI Prime--followed install instructions but no update occurred; thankfully it all still works! I can't find my car on the BimmerTech website anymore, sigh. Stuck on version 3.1.1.6s from 2021...
Have you looked in the video description? There you can find the link with the update :)
Yes-followed the instructions here and performed update but no changes. I’ll reach out via your chat service
Maybe if I could get the thing to update to the last version before this one I'd try it, but it's been a big fail for months...
Have you looked to the video description?
Will newly ordered boxes come with this software included?
Of course, all new MMI boxes come with 3.2.0 update installed :D
Trying to do mine but keeps going to red screen and then black screen with nothing showing on the display. I hold back and it reboots the mmi on the old version
I was able to fix by formatting the disk using a mac rather than a windows. The steps in the upgrade manual needs to be refined for windows. In the mac, there's a format with FAT and MBR steps, whereas in windows it's FAT32. So either the answer is to use FAT or it's the MBR. Second, on upgrading the MCU, I lost control of all my CIC. Can't tell if it's temporary because now I can't get back into MMI
I stepped away for 10 mins and locked my car. When I came back, everything was working again.
Didn't you manage to update?
@@bimmer-tech Yep, it's all working now. Just wanted to post the steps I went through in case anyone else had issues. When it went from red to black, I never saw the progress bar. It was only after formatting using my mac that I saw the progress bar immediately after initializing the update. So for anyone that's sitting there waiting for more than 20 seconds, it usually means the formatting for the drive is bad.
Im trying to update i have MMI prime and the software website is having trouble reading my software info. 😢
Have you overcome the issue?
Doing mine right now as we speak
I've purchased a replacement screen for my 2015 F30 and it is an exact replacement (I have the 8.8" screen from factory). The trim came off fine, and the screws are removed, but the wire running to the original screen that it will barely lift an inch off the dashboard. Nothing else is holding it. The wiring harness is extremely short. I can't turn it around or get behind it to disconnect the wires. Any advice would be appreciated.
I was able to solve this issue. I have the Harmon Kardon head unit and navigation built in. The wire from the head unit is much shorter than in the video. I had to take off a few more pieces of trim and loosen the head unit to move it forward without disconnecting it. This gave slack in the cable so I could swap the screen. It's a few more pieces of trim, and T20 screws but not a big deal.
Really great update! Suggestion, can you make it so when you tap 'MENU' it takes you to the iDrive front page?
Pressing "com" on my iDrive does this for some reason.
It's actually been a feature in our MMI since the beginning that holding down the Menu button for a couple seconds will take you back to the iDrive screen. Just tapping it can lead to some accidental iDriving, so holding it will probably stay for a bit! - Dylan
In the future from today, will new purchases have this installed already?
Of course, all new MMI boxes come with 3.2.0 update installed :D
Super easy - thank you for the step by step video and the update, love it!
Updating IMMEDIATELY! The speed boost and cleaner interface will be much appreciated on the '17 440i. Lets goooo
Can't find the link to the software update
Should be in the description -Chaz
Excited to go update my MMI Pro. Any plans to increase the USB output amperage? I use Android Auto/MMI with USB to be compatible with my wireless dashcam, and over long road trips my phone slowly discharges.
Update complete, that went fast and smooth.
Oooo that’s nice!! Exactly what I was waiting for!! Thanks bimmer tech!!!!
Hello, everyone. I can confirm overall satisfaction with the sound system (speakers plus amplifier). At first the sound was highly imperfect, but I have to say that with a lot of patience, customer care sent me a series of files (and I eventually learned how to use the tool too) and now the sound is almost perfect (Z4 G29). A complete guide about the DSP tool could very useful and appreciated.
Awesome But the thing is my BMW x5 is 2010 model😔
Can you put this digital dash in a mannual bmw
is it need to unplug the main battery of the car?
Yes, it is! We do indicate that in our installation guide :)
I have a 2002 bmw e39 but I think that e39 does not need battery registetation? Is that right?
Is it possible to use it completely wired and turn off wifi and bluetooth on the MMI unit?
As for me I do like maps.me very much. Much better than google maps and works very good offline!
Interesting choice! Cheers!
Why does my Harmon kardon subwoofers in my 2020 m340 not work?
Have you checked with your local BMW service?
You didn’t say I needed to disconnect the battery. My car won’t shift now
We strongly emphasize the need for disconnecting your car battery in all of our pdf installation guides. While we regularly upload installation guides for our products, they are primarily meant as visual aids to supplement the .pdf instructions, which should be your primary source of information about the installation process. We always send out detailed .pdf instruction manuals to our customers right after the order payment has been processed, so even before the product has been shipped out. Have you purchased the product from us? If so, have you contacted our Technical Support Team to possibly try and resolve the issue?
THAT is a LOT to go thru for a damn camera that SHOULD be standard!!!! And its a pain in the ASS just because BMW wanted to make it that way, anther reason to say FUCK BMW!!
for some people it can be tough, but if you want to install the camera, then it's the only way. BMW's fault haha
Hi there, Does the CIC keep functionality as well? Cheers
Yes it does!
With this nbt evo installation can i install MMI for android auto ?
Yes, you absolutely can!
@bimmer-tech yesss, perfecttt will be doing that setup, once my bmw comes.
Where bo just buy the camera if I asked have the prime
would you like to buy just the camera?
@@bimmer-tech yes
I can only see the kit with the prime i just need the camera
Here's the camera without MMI: www.bimmer-tech.net/category-rear-view-camera-retrofit-oem Here's the MMI camera: www.bimmer-tech.net/category-rear-view-camera-retrofit-mmi You can buy separate to MMI :) Are you interested in front cameras as well?
I have alpha one speakers and the amp. Deffo worth it…… brilliant sound clarity bass. Harmon kardon system is rubbish compared to this..
Great to hear you're satisfied with Alpha One products! Cheers!
I upgraded from the 5 to the 6 in my 2017 330e this morning. #OBDEleven is a Godsend with endless possibilities.
NO hardware upgrade needed to upgrade the iDrive platform. I have a 2017 330e offering the iDrive5. I upgraded to the iDrive6 with coding through OBDEleven and it only cost 60 credits.
I love my 328is bought 1996 and still going strong
Great story! Cheers pal!
BMW 528i m sport 2014-2015. Does it have heads up display?
It was optional equipment
isn't sport+ just sport+dtc?
Pretty much, but it really depends on the car
isn't sport plus just sport+dtc?
Pretty much, but it really depends on the car
No idea why it's not made 1000% clear in the video but you need to disconnect both the trunk and auxiliary battery or you risk frying your shift module. As simple as this mod seems if you manhandle the ribbon cable or leave either battery connected your car could very well end up on a tow truck.
So this don't work on an m440i with iphone? Was about to buy it
Have you searched on our website?
80s, over the top, sales guy voice, not included.
Thanks for that?
Can't you just deactivate your keys in the iDrive
Here's how to deactivate the key fob: ua-cam.com/video/sYAYWf44vz4/v-deo.html
The only problem i see with android auto is that i cannot see usb stored music songs on the car center display as it only displays the music file of android phone. Not sure is there any way to show USB media on android auto screen?
You'd have to replace the music from USB to your phone. This is the only way we suppose
I bought E36,90,F30 and G20. Their focus changed since F30, technology and gadget are the priorities, performance comes second, no longer the ultimate driving machine like it used to be.
If you want ultimate driving machine, you should get M3 or M340i, which wasn't the case back in the days..
New M3 and M340 only car is driving the driver, not the driver driving it. If speed is what I’m after, electric car will do the job.
I own the car above and I have to say the system sounds excellent. Because I enjoy a lot of bass I also installed a powered sub in the trunk and with bimmertech’s support we tuned the DSP so that the bass coming from the cabins 8’s are dialed back and the 10” in the trunk is controlled using a gain knob installed in the cabin…..The bass is thunderous 😊
Great to hear we managed to help getting your G29 sound system even better :D
The 3 series died after the e90 and even the e90 was a stretch the e46 is a much better car
E90 was quite a jump in terms of tech and safety, hence the considerable loss on driving feel
Hi! So I have a 2011 BMW X5 xdrive 35i. I am new to the BMW world. I am curious if there is a system I can buy that allows for Apple/Android play with Bluetooth capabilities? Or is this kind of the only option? I’d there is other versions what do I look for when trying to buy a system? Thanks in advance! This video was extremely well recorded and very easy to follow steps. I appreciate it!
What do you mean by Bluetooth capabilities?
Looks wise, after the e36 nah, e30 and e21 the best ones closely followed be the e36
E92 is not to your likings?
@@bimmer-techmm not for me too much of a jelly mould looks wise, but I forgot to mention the 1960s/70s 2002 range on my list , further down the line deffo the e28 & e34 , all 7 series look off to me barring the 1st one the e23 was a good looker.
can i do that with an E70?
Yes, we can't deactivate your key fob :)
Finally bought my first ever BMW it's a M440i with all the bells and whistles! Excited to pick it up next week!
Have fun with it!
I have a 2018 328d wagon with only 67000km’s on it (6 years old in Oct). I have yet to see anything new that would tempt me to trade it in…unless we get an M3 Competition Touring in Canada!
M340i is not enough for you?
@@bimmer-tech I’ll have a lot greater chance of wife-approval getting a new M3 as a primary driver than getting a CPO 911 as a secondary drive!
@@Quinn4124 we feel you there!
