Wireless CarPlay and AA on stock MKIV nav screen, including touch screen support!

Could agree more! This has been one of the best comfort upgrades I have made. System is working great in both my cars.

Just wanted to bump a thread for Baris at Carphonics. I have it installed and could not be more pleased. Perfectly threads the fine window between originality and functionality, and the support is incredible.

Wolf - Just getting around to installing the 3 wire jack cable for the USB. My black BM53 plug has wires in pins 3, 4, and 10. Is that expected? If so, what is the best method to de-pin with out destroying the terminals on the factory wiring?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure as I never installed mine yet. I would ask Baris to verify. To remove the pins use a needle to release the tab on the pins, it's tricky to get it to release.

I didn't unfortunately. The two pins wouldn't lock into the plug easily is the only issue I had. Oh and the sticky wiring loom!

The two Yellow wires on the retrofit cable go into the BM53 white plug (B) pins 11 and 12 circled in Red. Yellow/Brown is the GND.

The Jack cable for the USB has 3 wires. Red, Yellow and Black go into the BM53 black plug (C) pins 3,4 and 10. The Yellow wire on my cable is the White wire Baris mentions. The Black wire is GND pin 10.

I didn't either as I haven't found a decent camera yet.

[duracellttu]

Ahh gotcha. I don't plan to install a reverse camera, so looks like that isn't needed.

[WOLFN8TR]

Yes I have the BlueBus and CarPlay.

The two wires on my retrofit cable are for Audio for the HDMI input for a Firestick. You obviously do not have that.

The Blue wire is the reverse sensing wire for the backup camera. Make sure the backup camera you go with has a RCA Video input.

[duracellttu]

Thanks for the details?

Are you using the Apple CarPlay with a BlueBus unit? My retrofit cable doesn't have loose pins to connect. I only have the stereo jack with loose pins to add to the connector if I want to playback audio/video via the USB connector.


Any idea what this blue wire connects to?

Did you happen to take any pics of the pin installation? I could use a sanity check when I start this over the weekend.

It all hooks up to everything in the trunk, I went the OEM controls. Real easy overall, the hardest part was setting the two pins in the factory plug.

I installed this system and it works great! Highly recommend it! 😎

That's awesome to hear! I ordered units for both my cars and they will be ready soon.

Any tips on routing the cables form the trunk to the center console?

Bumping this up as I have received the full retrofit package from Baris. Still haven't had the time to install it yet but I can't wait to rip my AVIN unit out of the dashboard. My car was a non-HK, non-nav car. I will try to document the install as much as possible and post some pictures when I finally get around to it

I have it on my m5. Quite happy with it with my only dissatisfaction being the image quality but I believe that is a limitation of using the TV output which I presume has a much lower resolution than the nav screen natively supports

The stock nav screen is lower resolution than a typical TV signal. It's only 400x234. So it's the panel itself that's the limiting factor.
