These videos are incredibly valuable for showing how to get apart the E90 interior panels, for whatever reason.

I actually purchased the head unit. I watched the videos and was able to get everything taken apart but hooking it up was another story. Since I had a lot of questions, I decided to take it to a professional sound shop. They were able to do it in about 2.5 hrs as a first time installer. So far I'm very happy with the outcome. There are a few things that I need to read up and figure out. Bottom line, I'm glad I've brought my 2011 into the 21 century.

this is honestly SO SICK. I plan on doing this for sure, great video

Nice stuff. And a very nice DIY as usual!

I'm looking to buy a E92 and I would like it. Very thorough walk thru.

Love your channel! Makes me more motivated to do more DIY mods to my BMW; within my channel good video 👍🏾

Was just planning on buying one of these.. Thanks for the video. Perfect timing.. Also.. metric is standard...

Thank you, This has been real usefull for doing it on my car! Kudos :)

Where did you stuff the new big connector ? I can't find any room. Thanks for the great tutorial

Hi. Another cool how 2! Keep up the good work.

I pho sho be buying one, thanks again for the videos!

This is too cool love this !

Hi, Thanks so much for this video. Great stuff. Did you ever find a way (or can you reccomend a way) to tap into the cars existing GPS antenna? Cheers.

Great video 👍🏼 keep it up

Yay video love it no outlet update yet ❤❤

Nice! I would be keen to see how the mhd gauges look on there. I'm pretty happy with the CCC on my 09 335i, quite a bit newer and higher res than the previous gen. If I could have custom Nav and mhd gauges I would be pretty happy. Interested to see the later Android version

There's a thread on this unit, either spoilstreet or boostaddict; someone mentioned y splitter for GPS, and a review of the newer unit with Android 7 having better sound. Great video

This is awesome looks great

Thank you so much! Got this unit on my M3 e93!

Great video 👍. Do you get the warnings chime and display on the Android system or do you have to be on the original car system.

With Andream unit, you do not have to feed the aux cable from centre console, it connects to AUX from behind the head unit.

How did u change the instrument cluster to white? Good review also, I just bought 1

Would you say the audio quality is as good as your tune2air?

To make sound better, you need RCA to aux cable. Attached the RCA cable on Aux out L and Aux out R and run the aux end to your aux port. I just installed it and it sounds just like OEM.

Would LOVE to see how you got the extra cabling shoved out of the way enough to get the radio unit back into dash. Because the size of the interface connector and bundle along with the relatively short length of the interface wiring bundle makes getting the radio back into the dash a NIGHTMARE!

Hi nice video, I installed it too. But I cann't select the AUX anymore, although I connected the AUX-out from the harness to my aux contact in the mid console.

Another great video. Do you have a link to where I can buy one for my e60 535i?

I been watching all your diy videos thanks to your videos i could change my oil transmission I also cleaned my intake valves from 2008 335i e90 I have 2 new projects to replace my oil pan gasket and my ccc monitor ,,,,,,,, but I need help my car does crank ,won’t start ....i replaced the 2 battery cables help any ideas ? Or what to look for ...thank you I know this is a different topic but I need help

Informative quality video. Have a question, where was the head unit purchased from?

I have videos on my channel installing and using this unit. It was for a CIC system not CCC but no matter. My main complaint about this screen is it has crazy glare. I installed an anti-glare film over top.

Great Video... Thanks for sharing

How is the builtin mic? Would have loved to use the original one since it is so clear. Hope this one is as good

finally u have great bro chess

Hey bro I gotta question did you figure out how to get the sound quality good? & you think If I got this android screen & put subwoofers in I would have no problem? Like is it the vocals that get effected or jus the bass? Thanks bro great video

Just installed something similar. Can I ask how you got the wiring harness to actually fit? There’s 0 space back there with the CCC system..

I’m wondering how responsive those gauges are and if it can load the mhd gauges with no issues. That’s what I’m super interested in. I’m very skeptical of flashing the dme through the head unit. The audio is kind of a bummer.

Thanks for the video, good information, I have the unit for my BMW E90 form Avin USA I set it up the other day but I am having a major. Issue similar to what you were talking about in your video about the Bluetooth calling. Whenever I receive a call the Bluetooth screen take over the radio and I am locked out from using any other app. Until I end the call, Waze navigation stop moving and stop giving direction. I cannot keep the call going and get any other app on the radio. Same thing happen if I’m using android auto, not the same way you use it off your phone but with a USB CarPlay dongle. if you don’t mind can you please do a test on your unit and see if you are using Waze and receive a call if you’re radio locked up. Can you use any other app while on the call over Bluetooth. And if you had the same issue did you find a solution. Also can you get some more detail information about what app and device you are using to mirror your phone. look forward to your answer thank you

Hi, nice video and nice car transformations that you do. Just one question in my bmw 330xd e91 touring 2006 i have a ccc the screen know don't have image but the radio works, if I want to upgrade to android I have to buy also a android ccc correct?

Cool, always nice to see your videos. I'm interested in purchasing one. Please help. How is it working out for you. I love my Android and this would be a perfect match

can you make a video where you show your settings? I have the same radio but I can do it for example not operate with the knob and the Bluetooth does not work either.

Bro, what app did you download on your phone to connect the phone to the head unit? thanks in advance.

Can you still manage the bmw automatic ac controls and all the bmw settings from this thing?

CCC unit here. 2008 335xi e92. 1 Were you able to get the sound you wanted out of the unit? Since there's a SD card slot, can I assume the new headunit is actually playing the music instead of CCC? Can you configure so the AVIN headunit uses the CCC sound system? 2 Were you able to get the steering wheel controls to work with the AVIN?

How is the sound quality? Any difference between Bluetooth streaming and playing from an app?

Definitely would like it at a discounted rate. Count me in.

does it always take you to standart ccc screen when you switch ignition ON? can you change these settings? I'd be happy to see android screen at startup and ccc screen as an optional screen

Nice Video Bro How about the quality of the screen?

Hey - I loved the video but I have a question - I didn't see it in the description, but what is the link for the product? I'm looking to upgrade mine!

"change it from metric to standard" lol

Hi there love ur videos manual trans build is suck i have question my back up camera just start working it say no signal but everything is showing but actual video picture any suggestions thx

Very nice video. It helped me install my device but I have one problem. It does't work to switch over "Menu Button" long press "3s", only tap on the screen "Car-info". Do you know where the problem might be?

Hey, the you continues OBDII steering wheel control project?

How you use idrive controler button on new andorid program. I have only touch screen...

Did you connect the camera? If yes did you use the 12v provided by the head unit (there is a cable on mine saying 12v camera). Also there is a pink cable, which says camera sensing or something like that..

i have a 2005 E90 330i with the business navigation, is it the same installation as i only have the navigation CD only underneath the aircon?

Have you got a plan to assembly, please

Hey man great video I followed your instructions and installed the QB8060CCS into my 2008 bmw 328i the radio and aux are working as well as the screen but the bluetooth and built in audio are not transmitting the audio. Any suggestion?

Did you ever end up working out a reduced rate deal with the manufacture?

I haven't done this but I have the problem with my subwoofers deactivating in the middle of a song and the only way to kick them back on is to crank my volume to max until the bass comes back.

What are your thoughts after having this for a while? Any major likes/dislikes? Considering this for my E61 535...

Just a question will this head unit play TV like the older ones ?

17:52 min that bluetooth receiver-transmitter?!? Video resolution (480p-720p esc....)?!? Good job bro and great video...

Hello, what type of that navigation you bought? Thanks

I have the same android display for my 06 bmw 330i so my mechanic installed the display but no sound the music was playing but no sound. by looking at your video I noticed the aux cable you had needed to be plugged into aux out and ran through the center and plugged into the aux in the armrest. I noticed he didn't do that but I do have a aux in my armrest. It's a new display! We hooked everything but since he rushed it I don't think all the cables are together. Plus my CCC navigation unit has been repaired and coded. Now my sound comes on with the old display but not with the android display I bet it's the aux cord to the armrest. Need help🙏🏼

Hey, for your standard Bluetooth audio, how is it plugged in? All I have is the lighter and aux, no USB

My car does not have factory camera but I have one I installed and use a WiFi adapter to access currently. If I installed this unit will the back camera appear even if I am in the original menu?

I know this video is old but did you ever get the units in stock for purchase?

What about audio quality? In my 2008 BMW e92 I have originally CCC navigation professional with HIFI audio system and what I am concerned about is after changing it to android head unit the sound quality gets worse.

Hello, i got the android 10 gps for my bmw e87 from 2007 with CCC. I installed the gps everything works but when i throw it in reverse i have to go on MY BMW for seeing my parking sensors on my screen. Do you know how i get automaticly on my screen? Nice video btw helped a friend out with your video! Recommend it

Is this also workin with a broken ccc?

When the car is ignited the audio from TV transfers to audio from radio , same goes with Bluetooth and videos. But if car is not ignited there is no problem.

So I can use waze app if need be.... brother I am really weighing my options now that I have some extra change

1GB RAM - that's the reason for slow app loading and possibly slowness. I wonder if they make 2-4GB RAM models available like they do for other headunits. If not, this is still good upgrade. EDIT: Yes there is 2GB RAM and also 4GB RAM version available with small price difference, but well worth it.

Have you a link for this item please ?

Can a iPhone be used via lightning connection to play music

Hi, how is the unit so far? any issues, people have complained that it can slow down etc over time. Cheers

Hi, i installed the same, but when i'm in the android mode, the iDrive controller keeps some kind of brake, in the old ccc menu it rotates normally. Any sugestions? Thanks.

@Vehicular DIY, thanks for this great video, much appreciated! so just to understand well, the Android part of the tablet is comunicating via the old Navigation's Audio IN? I am asking this because I am concerned about the audio quality that you mentioned. Have you found a fix for it? If I want to listen to MP3s or Radio on the old CCC part, sound quality is unaffected, right?

Awesome uncomplicated video. Thanks you so much for uploading. I went and bought a CIC upgrade for my 2010 E90 only i don't know how to install it. I have it laying around for almost 3 months now. My problem is i don't know where to connect the loose wires (with the Chinese labels) from the 48pin harness connector to. So far i can't figure out (Google, KZfaq) what the wires are for and which colour goes where. Audio, Dash cam, Rear cam and USB are obvious and they have (RCA) connectors. It's the loose wires i don't know what to do with. There are 4 different color wires with Chinese labels (purple/lilac DVD-IR - green DVD-IR - pink back - brown Chinese signs). There is a paper with some things typed on it which is supose to be the install manual. Problem is it's in German. I translated with Google translate but it only discribes what functions it has and what should be in the box. Is it possible for you to make a video explaining what the wires from the 48pin harness connector are for and where in the car to connect them to and also how (what kind of connectors you would recommend) Been searching for months and it feels like you're my last hope (no preasure).

How is this unit different from navifly? Can you chage the skin? The EVO Navifly UI looks better IMO.

Sweet!! Yeah see what type of discount you can get for volume (like 10 pieces to start). I have numerous contacts in our network who would be interested. Compatibility with E30, E46, E63?? Thanks @Vehicular DIY

Could i put that in a 2007 bmw 328i? And how much for the parts

How do you get the new cable harness so that it doesn't get in the way with the DVD module? It hits me with the new cable, and I can't get the module to fit. do you leave it in a hole? I'm desperate!☹️😝

Do you need to push the button for 3 seconds every time you start the car ? or does it load up directly to the android system.

Is there a link to purchasing the unit in the video?

I have BMW individual audio. Will this work, as like Logic 7 it has optic wires.

You mentioned that you have your default navigation to be WAZE. My default is on an sd card and it is some gps system which came with the android. How do I replace the gps system that came with the android to WAZE? Thank you

Hi, never done this before so please bare with me.....I’ve received a ccc Android replacement unit for an 08 335i convertible from China...when I connect the new harness into the back of the cars GPS unit, I can’t get the unit to go back in because of the extra wiring at the back, I’ve tried every way stripping the skin off the top of my hands every time but can’t get the GPS unit back in fully to attach with the four Philips screws. I’ve viewed just about every install video out there but they seem to miraculously skip over this part and seem to slide the unit back in without problem. Any thoughts, tips, prior install experience or general help with this will be greatly appreciated.

What’s the name of this, and where can I buy one?

Thank you was thinking bout getting one of these. Navifly or Avin?

I accidentally removed the 3 pins that power the fan on the back of the CCC cd unit. I see In Your video when you removed the main quad lock harness you have red tape on them. Are you able to tell me which pins in that 12 pin block the wires are attached to? There is a white data wire then a brown black striped negative and then a red black stripe positive I believe. I forgot to take a picture and now don’t know which to hook them up to. Please help. You can see them just barely at 5:45. Thanks in advance. 🙏🏻

With this head unit you can switch between the CCC and the android system?

is there a description of what unit this is and where to buy it

Im thinking about this but my car doesnt have oem camera and wonder how can you install it to work with this android based head unit. Also is it work with an (orm) head-up-display? Also my car only have an aux at the back seats and doesnt have any usb slot. (E60 with big navi, ccc)

You probably already know this, but just as a contribution to the collective readership - it could be your Bluetooth receiver or your phone that is causing your lackluster lows. Most current Bluetooth codecs are pretty poor at dealing with high fidelity sound, so unless you're using a receiver with aptX or similar (along with a phone that supports it), you would be better off just using the aux in.

ask which model you install thank you

When the radio is on and I put Waze navigation on then I don’t have instruction sound. Is there a setting I have to chance in the settings ?

any way to tie in a 360 degree birds eye/stitched camera system? these are much better that the original/older versions, I wonder if they have a m3 version yet, there’s a slight difference that made it not fit perfectly

That USB mirror link is awesome, but 1 question. Is it an MHL cable or just normal USB to micro USB connection?

Can you play radio/sound while waze is on?
