BMW E89 Z4 Installation of Mr12volt MMI box CarPlay Android Auto

*** New Grey box with OEM Microphone NOW AVAILABLE. See link below.

Here we go, finally, after a long delay I've finished a new video!
This time I'm installing the MMI box from Mr12volt, to give you Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
So the main difference between this and the other style of MMI is that the audio is delivered via the MOST fibre optic network as opposed to the AUX 3.5mm socket in the centre console. This method delivers a digital signal instead of the anologue that the other types of boxes do. The integration is far smoother and looks more OEM.
The standard box can be bought from this (affiliate) link... ** They've stopped making the standard box (as shown in this video) now, so it's the DSP one only, fits the same!

** And the NEW (Grey) box with the OEM Microphone attachment (affiliate) link...

Please note this is a promoted video, but I am being honest within the video and have not just said nice things about it, I really do like it and have been running mine for the last couple of months now.

The manufacturer states that it requires that either the CD Changer is already installed, in which case you'll loose this facility as it'll need disconnecting, or that you've had CDC Prep from the factory. But this option can be coded into the car anyway so shouldn't present a problem, so I show how the coding should be done in this case.

If you just need the coding section (not normally required) then jump to 26:11

As always thank you for watching. And if you purchase through either of the links this will support the channel.
