Can you still place the order now and just wait 'till after the Chinese New Year holiday?

I can place the order as soon as I have everyone's vehicle info and funds for their units. But with the factory closed for the holiday, my thinking is to give us a little more time in case anyone else wanted to join to get us up over 10 units for the next price break. Yeah, not much but every little bit helps when it comes to bimmer parts!

Thank you sir! Me too.
New CarPlay group buy thread posted here: https://www.xbimmers.com/forums/show...php?p=24306014 As soon as we hit 10 paid for units or Feb 14 arrives, I'll click to buy. Whichever comes first. Sorry (again!) for the thread hijack maddog99. I'd still love to see pictures of the finished product and/or some navigation videos. |

anyone thought about coding the car to autostart carplay?
hey guys I will receive my unichip carplay box (with wireless carplay) today and try to put it in my car this friday.
I thought about the need to press the "menu" or "8" button every time I start the engine and think its not that comfortable. So do you guys think it could be possible to code my car that it automatically "presses" the button every time the engine starts? Like this you would start your engine and be right in carplay after a couple seconds. Or cant you code the navigation system or the radio? Seems a tiny script would do the job - but I have 0 experience with coding cars. |

I just installed this in my 2012 X5 yesterday. So far, getting CarPlay to turn on holding the menu for 5 seconds has been hit or miss. At times, I can't get back to the normal iDrive U.I. by holding the menu down for a few seconds and I'm stuck at CarPlay until I turn off the car.
Question, what's the best way to read your last messages? When I go to the messages app in CarPlay, I can see the log of my text message chats but when I select one person, Siri asks if I want to send a message but I can't read the last message in that chat. Thoughts? |

When you get a new message, If you select the message banner pop-up, Siri will then ask if you would like her to read it to you. Or if you missed that and simply go into the iMessages app, selecting the person who sent the unrest message will bring Siri to the same question-asking you if you want it read to you. The only way to circumvent this is to reach for your actual phone. |

unichip-tec.com, I used the "Chat" to talk to them and asked for a discount, ended up being right about $400 shipped via DHL, and was at my NJ door in about 3 business days.

Hi all,
After recently purchasing a 2012 E70 X5 I wanted to upgraded the infotainment system as it was the one thing that was lacking compared to some of the other cars we test drove. After looking around for a bit and doing some research in this and other forums I purchased the Unichip Wireless Carplay Box. $430 USD shipped to NZ. In regards to install I had this completed by a local company and this was paid for by the car yard as part of the purchase agreement. This was a quick and simple job for them and they were able to install the box behind the glove box so it is hidden yet easily accessible if updates are needed etc... I have to admit it hasn't all been plain sailing, yet the unichip support has been excellent and they have resolved the main issue I had with echo on phone calls. This required a new software release and this took about a week before it was sent to me. I now have the full carplay experience on my X5 and has fully enhancement the driving experience. Siri, OEM controls on wheel and iDrive along with iOS13 is pretty awesome. Many thanks to the early adopters and pioneers who took the risk to purchase this kit and document their journey. Much appreciated. |

I checked out their site. Would be great if they could provide some video of the actual operation of the device especially Android Auto.

Well there are some updates on their website. https://www.unichip-tec.com/h-pd-244...5+e70&_pp=0_35
Clearly shows Android utilization. Question, does this device I've linked still require the use of the Aux input and also does it require a new microphone? (If a new microphone is required, anyone have any issues? Also can the new microphone go in the same place of the old one?) |

I ordered min last month, installed it and just took it out today. I may have a bad one or something but i had issues with my screen going black intermittently, crackling/static on phone calls and my phone wouldn't/couldn't connect for carplay. I worked with their "support" and it wasn't great at all, no real help other than update the firmware. I did, i still had issues. It was enough for me to take it out all together.
