After doing a thorough comparison of the two systems, I ultimately chose the Nunoo over the Seicane because to the much superior performance of the Qualcomm Snapdragon665/625, in contrast to the RK3066 1.6GHz Cortex A9 Dual-core. Despite the fact that the price difference has increased after my purchase. The installation process was problem-free and straightforward. The system is essentially plug-and-play, with the exception of a few minor features.
Prioritise adjusting the display resolution to provide optimal viewing on both Android and BMW platforms. To access the factory settings on the Android device, go to the menu screen and choose the "Settings" option. The menu requests a password, which, for Nunoo, is: 666666.
Below the BMW section, you will find a comprehensive list of numerical values and corresponding resolutions. The 10.3" option for NBT was the BMW 8. This adjustment will optimise the BMW interface's display on the screen, achieving a seamless resemblance to the original factory design.
The second aspect I needed to attend to was the audio output. Simply choose the original choice and use BMW's configuration. In order to route the audio to the head unit, you must access the standard BMW interface and enable the Aux function under the media settings. During the installation process, it is quite simple to route the auxiliary cable down the right side of the main unit and align it with the space between the leather trim on the passenger side and the wood/carbon gear shift trim, leading towards the armrest. Insert the slip into the auxiliary port, which is situated towards the bottom of the armrest. This enables the head unit to use audio from the BMW hard drive, DVD/CD, and USB. I had difficulties while attempting to stream audio from my phone to the machine over Bluetooth. However, as mentioned by the individuals above. You may download and use all the Android applications you typically use on your smartphone by using the head unit and Android Auto.
The second issue I encountered pertained to camera settings in the new Android interface. To resolve this, choose "use original" under camera settings and disable all other choices, since they may prevent the automatic display of the picture when selecting the gear position R.
Finally, if you like to optimise the interface, you should configure your phone to enable hotspot functionality and set up the Android interface to use it. The issue lies in the fact that each time you need to activate it on the phone, which is a time-consuming process. Tasker, an application, and instructional videos on YouTube may assist you in automating this process by providing step-by-step guidance. I have configured my vehicle such that whenever the Bluetooth in my BMW connects to my phone, it automatically activates the hotspot and connects to the car's head unit. Upon turning off my vehicle, Tasker is activated by the disconnection of the BMW Bluetooth, thereby initiating the automated shutdown of the hotspot. This automated application is priced at around $3 when purchased in a physical shop. However, the software offers a multitude of functions that can be configured for your device, making it very valuable and worth the investment. Currently engaged in other duties at this same moment.
Overall, it was a significant improvement, particularly considering the issue with the peeling anti-glare on my screen. Additionally, I had been desiring an update to use android auto. When playing music videos using USB, it is important to note that the video seems much brighter and more prominent at nighttime.
