Oh i just use the steering wheel controls for music (didn't realize the little scroll wheel thing is the play/pause, next and previous) now and touchscreen for everything else. So, at best, a workaround.
I like using the touch screen, which the MMI boxes don't have, right? So for that, sure.
Making the mount cost me over double what the headunit did :) so maybe not so much that way lol.
One of my many prototypes (unpainted) ended up like this, which I thought looked kinda cool:
Kinda leaned into the whole 'well I can't hide this thing'.
I just got too focused on making it, and not so focused on trying to paint match the trim (which I didn't even try to do...).
Alright, well it's over-engineered, exposed my lack of CAD knowledge/technique, and it's certainly not a RapidDesign :p - but if you need it, ere:

I will be borrowing stealing this idea for the hand sanitizer I keep in there that always flops left and right depending on the turn that I'm making. :thumbsup:
Yeah I'd do PETG and see how it goes - you could always do ASA or something if you wanted better thermal resistance. I've had PLA...
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...
