Adding CarPlay or Android Auto
 

Has anyone tried this product to add CarPlay or Android Auto to your e70? It looks very interesting. Company is called Integrated Automotive.

That sounds really interesting. Their facebook page also looks promising as a quality legitimate business.

I may pull the trigger on this soon..

I have something similar from aliexpress. I wonder if they all use the same silver box and put their own stickers on it. The carplay functions work great but the audio output does not sound as good as the phone connected to the combox via bluetooth. Music lacks bass. Nav directions are distorted because the levels are not set correctly. Mic input for phone calls or siri can be hit or miss. Some of the newer versions of this system use the combox rather than aux for audio input which sounds better.

IMO with many of these 'upgrades', there is ONE shop- usually a chinese name you cannot read- that makes the part. Then there are several vendors that sells them into various markets- Asia, EU, Russia, US.


Like AVIN Usa...they dont make it, stuff is engineered and made in China (Shenzhen Kinylywin Electronics Co., Ltd). Different companies sell it in the EU.




Point is that shopping carefully, comparing product offerings between vendors, may in many cases be pointless- since it is the same. Only the 'wrapper' is different. (Which is not without value...)

Typically after sales support is lacking for units of this type. Choose wisely. I'm interested in this, though.

If anyone jump on it please inform us on how it’s working out[emoji1417]

Lots of bravery, eh?


;)

There are quite a few people who have tried these boxes. https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1546382

I’ve seen a slew of options for 2011-13 models. Any idea for a 2010?

So anyone pull the trigger on one in here yet??
