It's as good as any other AUX input as that is how the audio gets from the screen to your original headunit. Personally I'm running a later spec headunit and have added in tweeters making it an 8 speaker set up, and for me the audio is spot on, especially considering I have the roof down as often as I can.sunnydays said:
After loading a few hundreds of MP3s on the device, I am being reminded how pleasant higher sound quality is

@AnubisZed - Any way to relay some feature requests to the developers?
- I really wish either of the "Media" or the "Radio" button would do something (for my case, with the original iDrive), and that is to switch to the Android audio player. It's because it's there for the OEM iDrive integration
- It would be nice if the "Previous song" button would actually get back to the previous song when the playlist is set in shuffle mode. It currently just does what the "Next song" button does, switching to a random song, being pretty useless.
- The artist and album are showing as "UNKNOWN" although I checked, and the songs do have the ID3 information. Some of mine show all id3 tag info, some show some info some show none, i've checked the info on my PC and it's all there so I've no idea.
- It would be nice for the music to start playing automatically when the car is restarted if the music was playing when it was shut off. Yes this is possible, you need to go into "Settings", "More Settings" (code 1,3,1,4 - OK) then scroll down the left side until "Vehicle Information Settings", then on the "Mode Memory" option turn this to "on". Then if you leave it on an original option (like Music or Bluetooth Music) when you switch off next time you start up it will start from this position. NOTE - This will NOT work for added apps like Carplay, Android Auto, Spotify etc
- It would be nice if the first option in the menu would be selected by default, instead of having to rotate the button right-left before pressing Enter.

Apologies if this has been covered (need my bed, will read all 8 pages tomorrow), No problem, always happy to help
but how is the sound quality compared to OEM? The same quality as plugging an iPod or phone in, absolutely no difference at all.
Same question about the max volume, is this improved? Improved? Not sure what you mean, no problem with the output volume of the unit
Assume the steering wheel controls etc continue working? Yes, buttons work perfectly with the built-in apps on the unit. Added apps need a short work-around (takes a couple of seconds)
Would it support an aftermarket amp in the future? According to the settings you have the option to use an external amp, although I'm not sure how you'd do this from the screen. All audio goes through the cars stereo anyway, so if you add an amp to that then you are adding an amp to the whole system
Thanks in advance.

Someone was looking into modifying one to fit into the OEM pop-up screen, but I think it'll take some modding to get it to work properly, shame really.MICHAELROSCO said:Think I would consider if they could kept it the same as OEM and allowed the screen to go back into the dash, that would be smart
Have you gone through the settings pages?dacsman said:

Does anyone know the answer to these?
-Time: Resets to 8:30am after an cold engine restart, checked the advance time settings and definitely GMT+1 London
Go to this screen and tick "Original Time"
-Reverse Cam: Wired in as per Dave's video, but just get 'no signal' and the parking lines when put in reverse. Is there a setting to enable the camera i'm missing?
Go to this screen and set as in this screenshot...
thanks
Scott
