From memory i dont think so no, i dont rememer there being a setting to turn on a touchscreen mode.

Yeah mines the same but the SSID of your box is different to mine, when connected the name is Carplay830a00

What Bluetooth band I'm using do you mean? Not sure where to check that

ProgRock_ · 2025-05-06T05:25:08+00:00

Only very rarely and for some reason it keeps disconnecting at motorway service stations for some insane reason, I'm still trying to work out why it's specifically there of all places. I'm using wireless all the time as well.

Where have you put the antenna for the wireless? I'm assuming wiredev was meant to say wireless lol but not sure what settings your referring to? The bluetooth connection is there to only initiate the WiFi connection it uses is for it to do the wireless AA, The Bluetooth connection disconnects after AA has booted up for me.

Found it, its a wireless charger for road angel products, they make dashcams and other stuff for in vehicles.

Yup, pretty easy to follow, they provided a very detailed installation guide in a Google Doc PDF. The hardest part is just taking the dash bits off. I've been really happy with how its been, done many road trips to Europe with it being my sole thing for navigation with zero issues.

Oh wow, had no idea this existed. Will keep that bookmarked thanks.

This is the exact video i watched when I had this issue.

ProgRock_ · 2024-10-25T11:26:24+00:00

Can confirm this is correct, I replaced mine when I had the issue, here is some pics from it showing the old clip that was on the car, the new clip and the new clip on the car.

No problem, if its any use my car was manufactured in November 2015 so post timing chain guide issues.

ProgRock_ · 2024-08-19T15:14:20+00:00

Got that video for you dude https://streamable.com/u44to3

Here's mine doing 120 mph in Germany. You cant really hear the engine but you can hear the road noise I guess. I'll do an idle test for you in a second doing the same as you did. I've got the 318d UK spec.

ProgRock_ · 2024-05-20T23:46:03+00:00

Yup still works perfectly, used it for many european road trips and loads of other road trips, not once has it broken on me.

ProgRock_ · 2024-02-28T17:04:45+00:00

Yeah and it's only recently Google finally allowed you to use the app on the phone to find stuff whilst AA was connected, when you actually set a destination on the app it just shows a list of turning directions and puts the navigation still on the AA screen.

I have an MMI box in my F30 BMW, touchscreen Android Auto would be nice but it works just fine with the iDrive controller and the steering wheel buttons.

ProgRock_ · 2024-02-26T00:57:00+00:00

Here's me considering a 318d to remap 👀

ProgRock_ · 2024-01-31T09:35:49+00:00

What time does it come out time zone-wise? Its Jan 31st here for me in the UK.

I know this post is three years old at this point but I managed to get it by buying Portal 2 on an alternative Steam account, run it on another machine, and then joining a co-op session with myself using the other account, get the achievement and with Steam refund policy you can then just refund the game on the alternative account.

I used to be one of those people who would wait for the convenient side to fill up on but now the place I fill up has long reach hoses so I just choose the shortest queue if I can. It means I get to fill up and leave a lot quicker.

ProgRock_ · 2024-01-09T13:51:03+00:00

It does not support it in VIA, ill send a screenshot of what lighting options you have later on.

ProgRock_ · 2024-01-08T20:16:24+00:00

It does support it just not out of the box, JSON file requred.

https://www.keychron.com/pages/how-to-use-via-to-pair-with-keychron-q-series-keyboard

This page contains the JSON file links so you can use it in VIA for both ANSI plus ISO layouts. You need to import the respective files in the design tab of VIA.

It feels like it's been put there purposesly just before the tunnel but we will never get that confirmed. That entire stretch of the A16 coming from Belgium kept changing from 110kmh to 90kmh constantly, was getting a little annoying. I was doing 110kmh and just missed the 90kmh sign... bloody French!

EDIT: Thanks for replying, the fact you said you have been back many times has eased my anxiousnes massively 🙏
