How do you get the audio from spotify or soundcloud through the original soundsystem?

At that price I'll switch to an iPhone. It's $1k for the kit!

@@carcreationsyt Honestly $700 for the non-Pro version of this kit is just way too much for such basic connectivity. I think they could do better.

@@xocomaox it’s much better quality than the ones you can get on Amazon. I experienced so much crashing and terrible visual and audio experiences with the original one I bought that I returned it and never did a video on it. The upgrade is pricey, but in my opinion worth it.

Must be literally the only video on youtube showing LCI2 HU removal. I was clueless until now.

Appreciate the tutorial! I was curious if I an MMI box or any android/carplay retrofit would break the functionality of the Holographic Mini Heads up display? was also wondering if it would be possible to install the 8.8 inch display on my non nav 6.5 NBT unit with the MMI box? I dont mind not having touch screen if the idrive controls work

@carcreationsyt 7 ай бұрын

It shouldnt break that functionality. I think you can upgrade the display however may need some coding.

@nukularbeto 10 ай бұрын

thanks for the details on the install! This is definitely something to consider. One question: does the HUD work when using Waze or google maps? thanks!

@Gaming-Legends007 10 күн бұрын

What’s the point, you can answer the phone without all this and listen to music on Android via Bluetooth on your mini and use voice control.👀 or just use your phone

@carcreationsyt 10 күн бұрын

True, but the amount of people who have reached out asking if this is possible is crazy. Definitely a market for it

Do text come through the android auto system or do you have to use the factory idrive system?

Yeah text messages come through!

If I buy a 2024 Mini Countryman will it work with that? Seems like Mini did not change the Entertainment system since last model year.

@carcreationsyt 9 ай бұрын

Yes it will!

@dogusatasoy 9 ай бұрын

Does it automatically switch to rear view camera? i've seen 300-350eur touch screen capable alternatives. This is too expensive, hope it auto switches to rear cam when you put to rever gear.

@carcreationsyt 9 ай бұрын

MMI units that work with the touch aspect part of the screen? I didn't think they worked that way, but maybe I am wrong. It does auto switch to the rear cam.

Is there something simpler (for example a mmb box, carlinkit to plug into the usb port) to watch youtube, netflix etc. on the go or use the playstore? I have a mini f55 from June 2023 with carplay already installed

Do I get the car information on the radio still? Like when to change oil etc

@carcreationsyt 3 ай бұрын

It’s just piggybacking off the screen and idrive signal. You still have access to your idrive system when you want it
