Unichip CarPlay Group buy for E70/E71
For everyone that wanted to order a Unichip CarPlay box (https://www.xbimmers.com/forums/show....php?t=1573601), let's try this again! Unfortunately, we ran out of time before the order cut off date due to the Chinese New Year holiday, but that just gives us time to get all our ducks in a row for this order.
What is it?
What's the cost?
What's in the box? Who is interested in the group buy?
What do you need to do to join the group buy?
FAQ
Other Questions? Post on this thread or send me a PM. Last edited by SimSimmah; 02-12-2019 at 05:57 AM.. Reason: Order Finalized. |

Hello all, I just purchased a 2011 X5 xdrive50i, and was searching the forums for something like this. Any idea on the ease of difficulty installation of this unit?

I can vouch for Sim. He's very well organized, volunteered to take over the GB from me, and not making a penny off of anyone.

Is it possible to use Waze, Spotify, and Google Maps with this? Also, can the phone be used while it is plugged in?
If so, my buddy and I will definitely be buying two for our X5s. |

https://www.apple.com/ios/carplay Assuming this interface operates like typical CarPlay systems, when you navigate using your phone, the screen in the vehicle follows along when it can or goes to a standby screen when it can't. When you jump back into an app that's compatible with CarPlay and put the phone down, CarPlay resumes. Example: I'm driving along using Waze, the phone screen is off, the BMW display shows Waze. I stop in a parking lot to play a game. The BMW screen does not display the game, but I'm able to use the phone to play like normal without physically disconnecting from CarPlay. Once I'm finished playing my game, I turn the Waze app back on my phone and the BMW screen also displays Waze. This has been my personal experience with CarPlay using Mopar's Uconnect or GM's CUE systems. I'm assuming/hoping this system will yield the same result.
