It is worth it and once you are coded already it’s pretty easy.

Good afternoon, I also have this problem, how can I do this?

did you find how to do it?

@@armenaslanyan3803 yes man, you need to plug AUX cable in original car aux output and put it the aux jack what is going to the diaplay near the big jack where you plug in the display and original radio jack

@@bozeboze6144 Thank you

What can I do if my factory aux port is broken did not fall through it simply don’t work for aux

My sound was good had bass and everything

@@kelfordleslie lovely must just be an issue with mine

Adjust the eq settings that would help

You will have to explain to me what problem you are having, because the procedure will be the same for both.

@@kelfordleslie I bought a larger screen but it's still not big or rather it's the same as the old one and small

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

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.

@kubadon1 check the setting of your audio to ensure it is not mono but stereo

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.

You should get a connector that comes with your head unit that you plug your car harness into. If you have a custom set up you have to solder your speaker wires to the audio connector pins.

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.

@@kelfordleslie I’ve try to code AUX, but I’ve an android system in my e60 and I can’t read the ECU to code it, do I need to code the aux source with the stock CCC?

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

I have another video showing how to fix it, have a look at that video.

Uploading a breakdown of it for you pal.

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

@@kelfordleslie thanks for your response, turns out they forgot to connect the cable to the heating vent when they installed car play. It’s all good now. Thanks for your help

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.

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...

Sorry for the late reply yes it has to be coded for AUX.

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

Or you can just use the HTC unlock program, works on almost every HTC phone.
