Is it possible to tie the USB cable into the factory location? If I have to plug my phone in for carplay functionality, I don't want to be opening the glove box every time.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB-...906995407.html Pull out the USB/Aux jack from your car and check if that green Fakra plug looks like it will fit and is the correct male/female. But if you get that cable you'll also need a USB-A male to USB-A male adapter or cable to connect it to the Joying unit. I saw this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB-...804175657.html which has a USB-A male plug, and you can buy it without the port panel for $6.99 + $2.41 shipping, but it's for a VW so I'm not sure if the green Fakra plug is wired the same as BMWs. |

Did a DIY walk through on my camera install for my 2012 135i convertible E88 but it may help others wanting a camera with out costing a lot and involving a lot of complicated install labor.

How did it fail? Black with yellow guide lines?
Quote:
I was wondering what happened when it failed? I had the whole thing working well doing just a 'dry fit'. But then when did the actual install and ran the car, I was getting static, and now when I put the car in reverse, all I get is a black screen with the yellow guide marks. Was that how it failed on yours? I'm just trying to narrow down if it's the camera, the wiring, or something else. Thanks Last edited by Lowerfredrick; 02-18-2019 at 02:30 PM.. |

Wiring for filter
Quote:
Your thread was invaluable to doing the deed. Wasn't easy, but the Joying unit is nice. One question though: The rear back up camera worked fine until the car was running. I ordered the filter you suggested but I'm not sure how to wire it in. Is there any chance you could show/sketch how this is integrated into the wiring? Thank you. You've done some great work for the BMW community. |

But apparently, according to doane2u, you just need a rectifier and don't even need a relay. By the way, jamespaoli did PM me with the same problem like you: black screen with only guide marks in reverse with car running. Quote:

The one I used is the Dasaita 12V DC Power Relay Capacitor Filter Rectifier that sells on Amazon for about $10 with shipping. You just wire it in between the camera plus and negative and the cars reverse plus wire and the negative ground wire.... very easy. If you are getting separate power for the front screen from power there, you will probably need to do the same thing. |

Lowerfredrick: My issue was when going into reverse the screen would trigger to the reverse cam with the yellow lines/black screen, would never turn on video.. I triple checked all my wiring and made sure it was EXACTLY the way stubbie has shown. I replaced my camera 2 or 3 times, and re-wired/replaced my relay as well. I performed the test that stubbie also says where you can use the camera in wire directly to the back of the unit. My issue was solved overall being a faulty camera, i did also connect the 2 previous cameras and use it on a TV and it still didnt show video, confirming the 2 previous cameras were dead. I would triple check your wiring, try your camera on a TV or using the camera-in port on the headunit... If you have a volt meter you can test the power wire to the camera to see if it is getting voltage too... |

Hey I was wondering if anyone had issues with the bmw chimes ie seatbelt chime low fuel etc. I fitted a new head unit and now my bmw chimes have changed to a really annoying beep/buzz. has anyone got a solution on how to get the original chimes back, the chimes used to come out the speakers but now it sounds like they come from the tacho/spedo is it a possible wiring issue or did i need to code something. everything appears to work. speakers. mic . steering wheel controlls , reverse camera etc its just the chimes thats the issue.
I know the unit I have is different to this guide but Ive tried searching for my specific issue with my specific head unit and found nothing. the head unit i have is from eresin. many thanks |

I'm using the PAC RadioPro for chimes and they just copied the BMW sounds. It also hooks up to directly to the chime speaker under the steering wheel. |

thanks for the reply, so im guessing the anoying beep is erisins version of a chime and they cant be changed. ive checked every setting within the unit from factory settings to canbus settings and there doesnt appear to be any options to change this. the PAC RadioPro is that something i could add to my car to resolve this ? |

Got it, thank you! Two more questions: 1. Theres a persistent buzz/static noise. It only goes away when I put the volume at completely zero. I can vaguely hear it when I'm actually playing music. 2. Also, for the reverse camera, I tapped the wires for the rear tail lights, but for the power wire off the RCA yellow cable coming to the headunit, does it matter where you tap the power wire? Again, thank you so much for helping out |

First you should reset your RadioPro by holding the program button until the LED starts blinking, then release. To start programming, press the program button on the RadioPro (all buttons are short presses from here on) and you will have 7 seconds to press each steering wheel button in the order specified under 'Optional Programming Order, Pioneer' in the RadioPro manual. If you don't press the SWC button within 7 seconds, it will end the programming process and you'll have to start again. This is how I did it: 1. Volume + 2. Volume - 3. skip by pressing the program button on the RadioPro 4. skip 5. skip 6. Source 7. Track + 8. Track - 9. skip 10. skip 11. Phone 12. Recirculation 13. Voice Command You can now wait 7 seconds for the programming to end. The LED will flash 3 times. Now you can program the headunit by going into the SWC menu. Hold down the steering wheel button that you want to program and at the same time, tap the function on the screen that you want to assign it to. Besides the obvious ones, I mapped the recirculation button to start the navigation app. For your other questions: 1. I'm not sure because I also changed my amp and speakers. You may need to use a power filter on the power wire from the battery to the headunit. 2. There are different ways to use that wire alongside the RCA. In my setup, the reverse lights switch on the relay to power up the backup camera. The wire alongside the RCA is actually on the same circuit as the backup camera positive wire for my particular camera, so the wire gets powered up as well. It then carries power up to the front, and since it's connected to the Joying's orange wire reverse cam trigger input, the power signal will trigger the screen to switch to the backup cam view. |
