Feels like somewhere in the design process everyone at BMW forgot how to draw a curve.
I know it's out of context, and the Supra sure doesn't photograph well from all angles, but that is breathtakingly ugly. The red edging on the badging too, oooof.
So iDrive controls seem to operate the XTrons headunit AND iDrive at the same time. I think... I managed to turn on the iDrive nav. once when I was changing songs... Learned that you've gotta use the < and > buttons on the numbered row to avoid that...
I got insanely fast responses from SumoTuned at first, but the last few revisions have been really delayed, e.g. 3 or 4 weeks between revisions. His reponses etc are always professional though.
The only way for you to hear the audio coming from the headunit thru the cars audio system is for it to be fed into that audio system via the aux input e.g. the audio being generated by AA via Spotify or something (I think the headunit did come with a little speaker, but I never connected it)...
Just confirming that, just like other BMW's, the second USB port on our headunit can be activated (just gotta code it Headunit -> 3000HMI -> CDMM_USB_PORTS -> usb1_usb2_sia or something like that & get a HSD to USB cable) and it does carry the aux like the port next to the wireless charger (if...
You do not need the HSD cable w/ USB port, I'm just going to see if I can enable the second USB port on the OEM headunit so that I can use the second USB port for aux, I don't really like the aesthetic of having a USB cable plugged in all the time, the way the cable arches over kinda blocks the...
Yeah a few reasons:
- Pretty sure the MMI box doesn't work with the OEM display touch screen, so you have to use the physical iDrive controls to use it (touch screen might still work if you're interacting with the OEM headunit via passthru though, I'm not sure). With this, it's sort of the...
- I don't feel any audio delay, here's a video I recorded using an audio delay test from YT.
- MHD runs fine, RaceChrono is available on the PlayStore for this device so I assume it will run fine also. DashCommand (from the PlayStore) won't install as it's 'too old' and wasn't built for Android...
Sure, it's on Amazon here - it took about 7-10 days for me to get it. Just be aware that the video will probably throw an error at first, I had to head in to the 'factory menu' to set the resolution/signal type.
Which printer and scanner? Be interesting to see that thing mounted because you got...
Chinese LVDS cable worked!
Next up, have ordered a HSD->USB port as our HU's have an unused USB port on the back and I hate seeing that 3.5mm audio box thing...
Yeah I just targeted F30 compatible and made sure that, visually, it looked right. I'm going to check the pins before I try it, if need be, I'll be cutting and soldering - I'm in too deep now...
I have the same LVDS issue with the XTrons unit I purchased, and I'm just waiting on a F30 replacement LVDS cable to try as they're colour coded the same as the Supra (which is supposed to matter...) but it's not angled the same way as the Supra's, and the side that connects to the headunit box...
So that didn't work - but for a time I had a pimp my ride 1 of a kind dual screened Supra:
There's a bunch of $15 bluetooth transmitters on amazon that claim to be able to pair with vehicles and will take a 3.5mm as an input source, no idea if they will work, but free returns so why not ;)
