What about the reverse camera - when you park (go back and forth) - how does it work with the carplay? |

Im glad you did this test as I dont have USB stick music (Im lazy yes!). As for reverse, it all auto switches over. Feels like OEM & no lag. Its actually a little surprising because Im in what feels like a 2019 experience in carplay, then sucked back to 2014 w/ the backup cam view lol, then back to 2019. |

If I end up purchasing the X5M I'm currently looking at, I'll definitely be in for one.

but for the camera - the OEM behavior is when you reverse and then start moving forward the camera is still on (which is useful when you do a parallel parking and you can switch to top view by just pressing on the idrive controller). I guess in this case you need to push the camera button to keep it on the screen or switch to the OEM screen? Did you run into this inconvenience? |

It goes into rear view when I switch into reverse. Then when I switch to drive, it stays in rear view for a couple/few seconds, then switches back. whatever the internal logic is of the oem unit, it holds here. but when it comes back, it comes back to the airplay screen. same experience as before. |

So, I guess I will think more about it. the reason your unichip mike works better is because it is basically hardwired to the phone vs original car BT is not.. I don't like the fact I have to play my music from the phone (which is not capable of storing all my music). And I would prefer a larger screen - I wish we could upgrade to 10" OEM screen somehow.. Avin has a large one but it is so-so.. |

Guys, I've made the difficult decision not to carry on with the GB. However, there's still time to organize this, as the order date is not until Jan. 29th. So, if someone's interested in taking over, shoot me a PM for more details.

Update as of Monday, Jan. 28, 2019: SimSimmah is now in charge of the group buy. I am helping him get this going. Post up here with your questions, or PM either one of us, as I will be assisting him.
Please be sure to check your PayPal account for email for request of funds. We need this money by tomorrow, Jan 29th to take advantage to the discount price! I will be checking the board daily to make sure this goes as smoothly as possible.

We've got a quick turn around to get our order in before the factory closes for their spring holiday. Please inbox me ASAP so that we can coordinate payment and logistics for this order. $299/unit for 5-9 units or $285/unit for 10 or more. If you've got any friends on the fence, now is the time! You'll also be responsible for shipping costs to your individual location once the product arrives in the CONUS. Use of Paypal is a must. Thanks! |

I can vouch for SimSimmah, as we've been in close contact to help make this group buy work as smoothly as possible. Please give him your full cooperation as he has the experience doing this sort of thing! Thanks.

I know this is a long shot, but I figured I'd toss it out there on the off chance we can go ahead and place the order. I've got 2 people paid so far, but we need a minimum of three more to place the order today (if not, the factory is closed until 15Feb). Please post or PM me nowish. 830p EST is the cut off for this order attempt. I'm sorry to adjust the dates, but it's 29 January in China right now and I'm relaying what the sales contact is telling me. I keep forgetting they are GMT +8 over there. I'll update this thread at 830p EST with a status update regardless. |

Thank you heymattw & BMWBuffalo, but we'd still be short the minimum. Looks like the turn around time was just too short. I'll start a dedicated group-buy thread (Sorry to hijack your good thread maddog99!)with a 14Feb cut off date. If we have enough orders on 14Feb, then we'll press forward. If not, then I guess we all simply weren't meant to have CarPlay!
New thread link will be posted here shortly. Thanks all! |
