Sure thing. With the other display modes the input lag was about 1.5 to 2 seconds. With it on mode 3 its down to around 1 sec. This is what you think is better? Do you have this installed? Where's the video showing the input lag of Android Auto with this solution? I haven't found one. Or...

You do understand you sound like an idiot right? The MMI solutions do not have the same functionality and cost twice as much. You are saying you would rather have 500 milliseconds less lag but have to use the stupid dial to interact...... Your argument is completely illogical. But you will be...

No it doesn't. When I was testing with my daughter's iPhone it also didn't have directions in the HUD. But I also didn't test a whole lot with directions. Some quick googling shows it only shows HUD directions from the built in Nav, not from Carplay. So I believe the experience here is the same...

If the options are a MMI unit without any integration (hud, steering controls, touch screen) for $500 that I need to rip open the dash and control with the click wheel, or no Android Auto at all, or switch to an iPhone.... Yeah I'll take this more lag game changing option. You do know what game...

Game changer confirmed for me You guys could have just got the one I said worked and saved a bunch of time. Mine works great

Will need someone with an iPhone to confirm, but when I was testing I didn't see any route info on the hud. But this isn't available from AA on the hub

Not that easy oh smarty pants, it keeps coming out. Mine is doing it too Since the lip is glued down with some incredibly strong adhesive, there's no way its coming off without damaging everything. It doesn't really push back in (just slides back out). I decided to cut mine. I slid a thin...

Sorry not running any cracked apps

Same price: $219 I got model 08. Not sure what the pro version might add. Just make sure it is specifically for BMW is for wireless carplay (wired won't work) and compatible with iDrive 6 if you want to give another version a try. For those when they get it, some extra setup instructions as...

I used a strip of velcro for now. figured if I needed to pull it out to troubleshoot something the velcro would be necessary. But so far I haven't touched it since it was put in a couple days ago

Added Android Auto with full OEM integration (touch screen, HUD) :cool: More info here: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/android-auto-retrofit-with-just-pnp-device.13680/page-2#post-586547

Confirmed that the HUD integration matches an iPhone. My daughter was here with her iPhone so I tested. The HUD displays the same info as an iPhone (track title, previous/next) and the buttons work to change the track. So far it is 100% the same experience as an iPhone with Carplay. It is...

Heads up display I'll have to check as I didn't do too much here - I'm not 100% sure what the carplay experience is like, but it does pop up and say carplay and I can skip a track using the steering controls. I'll do some testing today

The holy grail has arrived. There is a box now that will do the AA > Carplay conversion wirelessly. Full Android Auto integration is now possible! TLDR: This box is amazing and works extremely well I refuse to use an iPhone and I wanted as much OEM integration as possible (touch screen, button...

The arms are closer in the pic than after install, this was without the black tower installed and it pushed them down a little from where they are at in the picture. Also yeah, I'm sure there is some variance in the thread insert and the arms, really if there was like 2-3mm it would clear...
