Just curious if there's any update on your CarPlay module - thanks! t3ddftw

Thanks, I'll try that option. That would shut it but it'll pop back up when I change tracks, no?

I just purchased a used Z4M and was thinking about cobbling something together and replacing the Sharp 400x240 LVDS LCD with something higher res in the same form factor and using a Lattice iCE40 or similar small FPGA to mux and scale the stock input. Glad to hear you're working on a CarPlay solution and I don't have to start another project I will not finish .

I think it would, but I am not familiar enough with the CID to know.

Replacing the factory screen is something I have been looking at since supply for good screens is drying up. I haven't found a suitable screen -- it seems like this sector is so tight-nit with the OEMs that they don't put a lot of effort into other customers.

Hopefully you can help. I upgraded to 1.1.30. the upgrade seemed to go well. but the multi flash wasnt working. The unit had a green light flashing. I reflashed to 1.1.18. After the green light was on constantly. All seemed to work when connected to the car (E46). I then tried to flash 1.1.30. When the it was flashing the firmware (after the erase) the green progress bar started at about 80%, then completed the flash quickly. Now the green light on the unit is out. When I disconnect the USB cable, then reconnect, the green light on the unit flashes momentarily then stays out. When I try to connect to the Firmware tool, It finds COM5, but when it tries to connect then I get "ERROR: Failed to get a response within 5 seconds" (I tried 2 computers and 5 cables) I tried Putty (windows 10 64 bit) Serial, COM5, 115200. The terminal window opens with a small solid green box, but when I type nothing happens. (I made sure the terminal wind was the active window). Any help apperciated. If this has been discussed please direct me. Yes I tried searching using multiple terms.

I hope you've figured this out or emails me by now -- sorry for missing this! the fix is to remove the unit from the case, locate the "RECOVERY" jumper and connect it to both pins. Once you reconnect it to USB, the green light will flash, indicating that it is ready to accept software.

Shoot me an email for more guidance -- support@bluebus.dev

Sort of -- I have all but written off the Carlinkit adapter as a viable option because it's just shit. There's a huge lag while on wireless carplay that makes the streaming experience extremely painful. Essentially, you'll pause a song but it'll continue playing for ~1.5 seconds.

The other fellow I am working with has managed to get Android Auto working on the bare metal of the Raspberry Pi, so I'm hoping to do something similar with Carplay. The problem, of course, is that any implementations are closely guarded by Apple. I will be at least finishing the hardware side of things sometime this month.

Thanks!
