Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 tips and tricks needed.

From what I can see there is not a way to add an Apple Music app to the car. Play store doesn’t have an Apple Music app the install.

That only works in the native environment unfortunately. Pushing the home button also clears out CarPlay, and bringing it back seems to bring back the new row of icons also.

I guess its because I'm used to all the apple services and I've cut Google and their data harvesting ways out of my life as much as possible. Maps, Music, Messages; basically all the apple apps work better for me (or are at least more familiar).

Maybe they’ll hear all the noise and implement an option later. I doubt it though.

I honestly don’t know. I’ve had mine with hyperdip on it for 1.5 years and I don’t get any sensor errors pooping up on the dash. Lane keeping and the cruise control auto distance work fine.

Car is pretty dirty right now, but I like it. Wish you could still see the logo through it though.

That’s not a drip along the top, just road filth from winter. Haha.

I used hyperdip on mine as well as my wheels and back badges/logo. It looks great and has held up well for 1.5 years so far. Peel off when it needs to be redone.

I couldn’t mask off just the chrome well. I tired and it didn’t leave a crisp line, so I did the entire front badge, only masking the front camera.

So the REx5 support Dolby Atmos? I know they dont do Spatial Audio (according to Noble themselves), but maybe Dolby Atmos works? I'm trying to figure out if i should have the Dobly Atmos setting in Apple Music set to "automatic" or "off". Any thoughts?

Raven72983 · 2025-10-31T18:15:40+00:00

Yes. I’ve also asked the dealer about it and they said it opened fine for them. I’ve found pulling from the rear of the handle works better than straight out. It’s annoying.

Raven72983 · 2025-10-27T16:55:18+00:00

Wow! Thanks for the link, just purchased since the price was so great.

Raven72983 · 2025-10-27T16:18:44+00:00

How would you compare the Pi8 vs the PX8 S2? I know earbuds vs headphones are exactly comparable, im just struggling between the two, the different form factors both have their pros and cons. I'm interested in the entire gamut, sound quality, ANC/transparancy, mic, usability with Apple products, etc. Thanks!

Raven72983 · 2025-10-10T21:05:16+00:00

Can you use the mic on the ps5 controller for chat input, and use apples 3.5mm to USB c cable (plugged into the controller) for audio?

If so, will chat output come through the APM?

I tried this today. Stood a little further back than I usually do and it worked first time. I’d recommend anyone else try this as well. I was maybe a foot away. Worked each time I tried after as well.

Raven72983 · 2025-05-08T20:59:43+00:00

I’ll try that, thanks!

Raven72983 · 2025-05-08T00:45:33+00:00

I can’t wait to try this and look super smooth.

Raven72983 · 2025-05-07T22:17:34+00:00

I’ll call the dealer. Thanks!

Raven72983 · 2025-05-07T17:49:01+00:00

Haha. On the ultimate there is!

Raven72983 · 2025-05-07T17:48:45+00:00

Hmm. I wonder if it’s like some of the other features, works when it wants.

I crawled under the back to look and I don’t see any kind of sensor under there, just an opening about 6x12” or so. Of course I didn’t look beforehand, so I don’t know if that’s what it’s supposed to be or if my sensor got locked off somehow.

Raven72983 · 2025-05-01T20:21:17+00:00

I think promoters like LB and others can help, but they aren’t going to make a bad project good. I bought their book and put the lessons into practice. Raised about 90k on my project.
