If have bought one have these Android auto/ CarPlay unit for you BMW 5 series and after installing you are not getting any audio from the AUXILIARY this is how to fix it.
* DO NOT REPIN YOUR AUXILIARY WIRE*
It should be left as it is, instead what you want to do is pay attention to the wires at the back of the harnesses and there position and do a retrofit of the harness on your auxiliary cable to fit the second slot. It’s not made for that side so you will need to cut off the pieces that stops it from going. Be careful when doing this, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IS YOU DAMAGE YOUR HARNESS. Once you’ve done that put the harnesses in place plug up and you should have audio.
YOUR CAR NEEDS TO BE CODED FOR AUXILIARY IF IT DOESNT HAVE IT ALREADY.
You can find tons of videos on how to code your car for auxiliary on KZfaq.
Thanks for watching consider subbing to my channel and like the video for more.

sometimes it’s the fiber optic cable you have to get it from the oem harness and put it in the new system harness you got

Thanks for your guidance. My car is e60 525 2006 with no AUX. I bought AUX activator, my question do I need to activate AUX on the original screen or on the new android screen?

Once you have coded the car for AUX input it’s available on both.

Nice video, I had a shop repair my idrive but now no air coming out of front vents only back ones. Do you have an idea what the issue might be? Thanks

The dial that sets the air circulation in the car could be offset, you want to that first.

I’ve installed CarPlay on my 530 e60, but he play only radio frequencies, if I play Spotify music they didn’t play, he also continue to play radio, so I think I need to code aux on my car?( the car came out without AUX port or option on infotainment option).

@kelfordleslie Жыл бұрын

Yes sounds like you need coding for AUXILIARY, it’s pretty simple to do and there are tons of videos on here that tells you step by step how to go about it. Get it coded then if any problems still with audio I will walk you through the fix.

When you connect inpa to your car does it show that its connected? If inpa doesn’t show the battery and ignition connected then you need to change the com port on your computer to com port one, if it’s not on com port one inpa or ncs expert won’t read and connect to your idrive to allow you to code the module. Your android unit have access to the idrive system so that won’t be the issue. Sounds like the com port on your computer is incorrect and that’s why you can’t connect to the idrive. Also check you have the correct ODB cable

If you are getting sound from the rear speakers then check the settings and adjust the audio balance. If you get no sound at all see my other video.

My main question is “ does the aux running from your cd player unit, have to be plugged into your aux Jack”..?

@kelfordleslie 9 ай бұрын

If your car has an AUX port that means your car came coded with AUX functionality already and swapping out your head unit will work the same.

@@kelfordleslie I just installed my unit last night actually, and when I was playing it without the auxiliary plugged in it was only playing on the front speakers, and when I plugged in that auxiliary, it worked all around so you do need to plug it in to your original port.

You need to code in aux if you want to have any audio output through any android system in the e60, because its the only way you can send audio signals in this car. Plus you have to have an AUX IN slot.

@cross02954 Жыл бұрын

Yes, you have to activate the aux line if you dont have aux . Will not matter what you do until then. They have a adapter that will activate the line...

but let me understand that you removed the aux plug, but if you put the music on android you have sound

@kelfordleslie Жыл бұрын

If you don’t fix the AUX you will not get any sound at all even if you put music on the android unit, because the audio goes from the android unit to the idrive then to the speakers. So if the AUX isn’t fixed no sound can get to the idrive
