Hi guys, I've watched some really cool android screen replacement videos on here, and was just wondering what the go is with the AUX? Mines the older CIC system, do all the android radios in the e89 have to use AUX to get the car speakers to work? Why is this? Doesn't the extra loom hook into the onboard amp?

I've done a few android installs before, but this us the first time I've come across that you have to use an AUX input to get the original speakers to run.

Or am I seeing this completely wrong?
 
Afaik all android head unit and all MMI boxes bar Mr 12 Volt use the aux feed..

The aux feed goes into different head units so whilst some people complain about the quality it varies…

FWIW on a 677 based head unit with the full USB/extended Bluetooth option I personally really struggled to discriminate between pure digital, usb , Bluetooth and aux..

If you’re really fussy on most higher end android units you can plug a DAC into the USB socket on the android unit then route it on either via digital or another analogue circuit

If you have the factory idrive imho the best /proven option is a mr 12 mmi box..imho
