Android in-dash radio
Good Day,
I am considering installing an android radio for the carplay. The unit will replace the Professional radio and drop the ac controls lower. The top mount that replaced the storage bin was considered but with research, many guys complained about the distance to screen as you have to use an idrive style controller and lose a cup holder.....in a small car i dont want to do that or drill into the side for the one on the passenger side. my question is to the guys who have installed one, does it work with the factory MULF2, BT, aux and usb?

I have one. It does eliminate the factory aux and usb. With can bus decoder the steering wheel controls work ish (sometimes the buttons are slow). Factory Bluetooth is lost but new headunit has everything. Wireless CarPlay, Bluetooth etc. I ran my mic to the factory location but the aftermarket mics are never as good so call quality isn’t great for the other party. Sounds great in the car though.

Most people think it’s factory but they are not typical car people. I think it’s fine but do kinda miss the factory Hu. If it had built in Bluetooth for music I probably would have never changed it. But when I did then I decided it made sense to do the backup camera as I have grown ever used to them in all modern cars. It replaces the trunk release and looks very OEM as many car manufacturers do it that way.

****Please help****
So I installed this unit described above. Had no sound at all and did research and found out I needed the analog to optical adapter. I got that install and now I have sound but is wayyyy low and with it turned all the way up. Does anyone have any ideas on what's going on. Also this is one blue wire that says amp cont should that be put somewhere or just not connected. The optical adapter I used is this one https://avinusa.com/most-fiber-optic...7-e88-e89.html I'm def proficient in wiring and stereos but this has me stumped. Tnx for any info helping guys. Btw e82 with the logic7 HK system I believe. |
