This was incredibly helpful, and I have to say that you guys had the EASIEST install tutorial ever. I followed along with no issues, and it works very well now! I haven't had the lagginess in the interface that some people have talked about, so perhaps it's a firmware issue.

Hello I am interest in buying these, but before that, I have some questions: 1. Can you record video with the camera? 2. Can you record at the same time with both cameras? 3. Can you make that it auto-starts recording, as soon as the MMI is started? 4. Can you record to an external usb-disk? 5. Does it automatically start the Apple Carplay Menu or does it start that MMI menu where you can choose between Apple Carplay and Android Auto? (Assuming iPhone is near car and connected) 6. Lets say you play some music with Apple Carplay (Spotify), then you get an notification on your iPhone. Will that tune down the Music and play a notification sound? 7. Can I use google maps on Apple Carplay? 8. How long will we get updates? (E92) 9. How does iPhone Versions affect the MMI Apple Carplay. Imagine there is a new iOS update, will that also work automatically or do I have to wait for your MMI do also do an update. 10. How frequent are the updates for the MMI? 11. Do I still have to use the Old OEM Radio Unit for this. What If I have an newer aftermarket Radio? 12. How stable is the MMI Unit mounted inside the car? Does it withstand high G forces? 13. Do you ship in switzerland? 14. What are the benefits of your MMI box compared to the competition? 15. Can I install ALL iOS apps I like or am I bounded to specifc optimized apps that have Apple Carplay version. 16. Do you offer aftermarket screens? I would like to get one that has more brightness than the OEM one and/or also is OLED instead of LCD. 17. Can I use Netflix with Apple Carplay while driving?

Ok, let's get it straight: 1-4: No, there's no record option whatsoever 5: You have to press the "Menu" button to turn it on 6: Depends on if you have the notification sound on 7: Of course :) 8: Hard to tell exactly, but they are frequently released 9. IOS update does not influence CarPlay 10: See point 8 11: It works perfectly with OEM system and our retrofits - we cannot guarantee it working perfectly with other retrofits 12: It's mounted inside, so it should not damage even while driving swift in the corners 13: Of course :) 14: The quality of the product (we spent a lot of time to develop it), frequent updates, aftersales support team that is ready to help you with unexpected issues 15. The CarPlay works like other CarPlay systems, so only optimized apps 16: Yes, of course we do. If you have E92, here is the screen for your car: www.bimmer-tech.net/category-vividscreen-idrive-display-for-bmw-VividScreen 17: You can, but we don't recommend doing so :) Hope it helped :D Cheers!

Interesting idea. Make the rear backup camera wireless and hirez, so no wiring harness madness thru the trunk and interior. Then add a GoPro Front Camera wireless interface.

Anyone else have an issue with Sirius not shutting off when taking a call like it does in my car that has all of this natively? That can't possibly be right, so I'm guessing there's a setting I haven't dialed in right.

Solved - I turned the OP Gain up to 5 and 6 and all things solved. You should note that as the "make internal mic work" feature in the settings vs OP GAIN: I have the MMI Prime wireless. Everyone I call says it is hard to hear me. When I switch to BMW BT (no it is not on as per BimmerTech) it sounds perfect. Please help. I want to use this.

For my 2016 6 series, in the installation it says to use the aux option in the idrive settings but there’s no physical aux connection. Am I missing something or is it just for the mmi to work
@bimmer-tech

It will depend on your head unit if your vehicle has a physical aux connection or not, if you do not have one, you simply need to select the aux option from the Media/Radio menu from the iDrive.
