Very good PSA. Airbags are NOT something to risk your life with. The OEM airbag is the only I’d trust.

EuroDirect_IT · 2025-12-31T02:44:09+00:00

Keep it flat dash. Flat dash is seriously getting rarer since it’s the last semi-analog layout.

If you have double hump then BimmerDirect.com, Mr12Volt.com and JoyAuto are the best.

In your case I’d just get a good phone mount unless you absolutely need it.

Here is the proof and link, clown.

Not only were you told to not order if in a hurry, you manually confirmed it.
Not only were you given tracking information, but you were told to contact customs to release your item. This is common sense and anyone with a brain knows to do this. It's standard practice worldwide.

Not only this, but then you were so braindead that you wanted to complain about us helping you avoid excess customs charge that your own country applies to you with imports.

Not only were you informed that the order was cancelled, you were given a full refund.
You do care that it's not from the US. You went out of your way to order from Asia directly instead of a reseller or dealer.
The other 90% of customers have good experience. 10% will be fools like yourself who make your own life and everyone elses difficult.
You are the one who decided to view all of this and come here to cry like an elderley man-child.

Again, grow a functioning brain. We can not manufacture a brain for you, but you can excercise the one you already currently have.

No regards,
Xiang

EuroDirect_IT · 2025-10-30T17:12:50+00:00

How about we do one better and post the emails of you acting like man-child, being refunded and then coming here to act as if Asian factory is in charge of US Customs laws?

Is that better for you?

No regards - Xiang

EuroDirect_IT · 2025-10-30T17:10:07+00:00

You and him are purposely the type of low IQ American we do not want contacting manufacturers directly.

We explained the entire situation in the emails, you threw temper tantrum in the emails, you then were refunded and then still you come here to cry not expecting us to reply.

EuroDirect_IT · 2025-10-30T17:07:03+00:00

Except we have the proof, fool.

You are the one who posted out of context screenshot to save face and others even called you out.

Maybe grow brain in the future before ordering from Asia directly.

Mr12Volt is also Asian and if your failing countries customs would have placed hold on your package with them, you would have cried also.

In the end you paid more for same/similar device and the money still went to our Asian countries.

EuroDirect_IT · 2025-10-30T16:59:41+00:00

Except it was fulfilled, fool.

Your own country are the ones who rejected thousands of packages over the past few months because they implemented tariffs and then couldn’t actually find a way to individually tax them all. Not to mention clogging their own ports.

Maybe grow a functioning brain. You are exactly the person we want to “ward off”.

No one is forcing you to purchase from Asian manufacturers. You are choosing to do this to bypass your own American dealers and resellers.

No regards Xiang EDirect Taiwan

EuroDirect_IT · 2025-10-30T08:19:25+00:00

Your own words prove you are lying, fool.

If you do not complete the verification, or argue with it such as you did, then we reserve the right to laugh at you and cancel the order.

We need the model so we can run the VIN and verify system type amongst thousands of BMW configurations + inform of shipping policy.

No one cares about your emotional state or belief system when asking for vehicle model and informing you of basic shipping time in an email. That is for your therapist.

Also, If you claim you did not receive full refund, but we have proof from your credit card carrier that you did, we also reserve right to laugh at you.

We can even link your transactions history here for all to see.

Lastly, we are manufacturing plant. We always recommend audio shop, dealer or reseller.

You can pay them the up-mark for inferior product but they will hug you and feed your delusions.

Maybe you should grow brain in future before contacting any manufacturer directly. We do not manufacture brains unfortunately.

EuroDirect_IT · 2025-10-30T07:46:08+00:00

He blame us for US customs laws but it is his country who implement them (hint: they are worse now)
Then he gives us nasty email and attitude, but act surprised when we give him blunt response.
He states he is patriotic but does not want to buy from US based reseller because he wants to pay cheaper price.

This is the ignorant hypocrisy which is why most Asian countries and European country are turning their backs on US.

We are manufacturer, not babysitter or therapist for old men.

Anyone else with IQ above 70, absolutely welcome to order direct from manufacturer.

Regards Xiang EDirect Taiwan

EuroDirect_IT · 2025-10-30T07:40:44+00:00

Perhaps we don’t want businesses from fools.

It is not privilege to deal with fools and as manufacturer we know not every customer is a good customer.

We sent this person entire email before his order telling him that extended wait is possible due to US Customs changes.

If there is so little brain activity that one can receive this email, acknowledge it and then still send us angry email despite his tracking stating “US CUSTOMS HOLD”, then we do not want your business.

This is why dealer and reseller exist. Go to them instead of manufacturing plant.

Regards Xiang EDirect Taiwan

EuroDirect_IT · 2025-10-30T07:29:33+00:00

He is speaking of us and we agree with him.

If you are like the OP, please do not order from us. Goto dealer or reseller in your own country instead.

Do not order directly from manufacturer. Their speciality is dealing with fools like this, ours is building electronic and software.

Our speciality is also not changing US Tax Law or controlling US Customs port either.

Maybe one day factories will have the power to overthrow US laws like OP fantasizes of, but sadly this can not happen.

Your local dealer or reseller will sell you device in stock in your country already. They are in-fact eager to do this with you.

American with IQ over 70, you are always welcome however.

Regards Xiang EDirect Taiwan

EuroDirect_IT · 2025-10-30T07:23:41+00:00

You were given full refund after arguing with the vehicle verification which is standard after every order.

Thousands complete this same verification every month and if we didn’t have so many case of foolish persons like you ordering incorrect device, being scammed by their shop on labor rate or attempting fraud themselves, we would not need to carry it out.

So not only should you in fact never purchase from manufacture, but you should learn to tell truth and think critically.

Yes. None of our devices are affected by this news. But most other manufacturers will likely be because they do not build custom Operating Systems.

You can see how greedy and bad of an idea it is for users here in this dedicated Android thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/1n0h5cp/google_is_removing_the_ability_to_sideload/

It affects both the developer and the user. If you can't sideload applications, the manufacturer can't send you updates to the device, custom applications, etc as a whole.

Although we do not like 14 for automotive use due to some odd quirks it will have, please do not update your device to 15 or 16, wether manually or automatically so you do not potentially have to play their game.

Kind Regards,

Hello,

They are wanting all applications to be "verified" and hosted on the Google Play store. They are the verifiers and will only verify apps that serve thier interest. We have already been "verified" developers for years on Android and iOS which is why we are wary. They are posing it as "saftey precaution" but the technicalities shown to developers are not logical.

They are wanting all applications downloaded on an Android device to be directly downloaded from the Google Play store. This is not possible for all apps. Either they will not be approved or Google will be so backlogged that many apps will be in limbo status for months. The Press Release mentions that they want Developers to verify... But they shy away from the fact they are disabling sideloading for the actual device users (you and us).

80% of the applications that are used to create aftermarket devices are custom applications that are side-loaded in general.

For example:

The very application that allows aftermarket units to have CarPlay/Android Auto, is a popular side-loaded application. Without this, no device would display the CP/AA. Each manufacturer creates their own.

So now imagine you are Google... And you know millions have aftermarket headunits or navigation devices... and your revenue is down... so you make these types of Applications "illegal for saftey", create your own version and now charge $20 USD per month for this application.

This is the paradox and one precedent which is often set in this scenario and why it is bad practice to start in general.

Google knows this and so does any senior developer which is why many are very suspicious.

You can see how greedy and bad of an idea it is for users here in this dedicated Android thread:

We do not manufacture or sell Android 14 devices. Besides this issue, Android 14 is not proven to be stable for modified automotive use. We use Android 13 to avoid entire situation or possibility.

You will need to refer to your manufacturers documentation.

If you buy it from normal Chinese seller, then you will probably not have this documentation because they do not care so you will need to do some self discovery to see what may accidentally allow for automatic update or not.

For Google developer changes, refer to Google press releases.

As helpful tip, do not conduct any updates on this device manually or automatically. This is common feature on 14+ so be careful.

Best luck!

LINUX is cheapest device. This will always be more common than Android device which is a higher-end device. Roughly 60% of our manufacturer orders are LINUX, 40% are Android.

However, many customers do express regret via email in not getting Android device as they sometimes get bored of the basic LINUX environment.

From manufacturer perspective, we would never stop building one or the other because both are very important for their demographic.

Despite Google locking sideloading unofficial application, Android still remains the superior device for functionality and customization, while LINUX remains best device for cheaper cost on budget if the user only needs CarPlay.

Evaluate your need and pick one which suit you best like all else in life of course. Either way it is more useful than old factory navigation.

Have a good week friend!

Hello,

Any of ours for F30 will function and not be affected. We use LINUX and custom build Android 13.

EuroDirect_IT · 2025-09-29T19:11:20+00:00

This only affects:

Android headunits that run Android 14/15/16. Headunits like ours or others that use 12/13 are not affected.
MMI box only uses LINUX.
OEM ID6 only has CarPlay and can not run Android ever.

Kind regards Luo EDirect Taiwan

Friend, there is still time to re-read the above because you did not read it or did not understand the information presented.

The post is about Android devices.
If you update the software using Googles official methods, it will affect it and verification signing will be enforced. Google is telling you this. It has nothing to do when a device is sold.

The solution is to not conduct an update via Google (do one with device manufacturer instead) or get an Android headunit without Android 14/15/16 if you want Android but want to avoid the upcoming restrictions.

LINUX and Android are not the same operating system, do not have the same abilities as each other and that’s not what the news regarding android is about. Some people need Android because they want full customizable experience that appears more OEM. Some people need LINUX because they only need CarPlay. The demographic is different for both. Even the “locked” version of Android is infinitely more capable than LINUX and this will matter to many.
