WHY
BMW E60's are so classy that when you buy a BMW E60 android screen and come back, how come there is no sound? How do you toss and turn without sound, you keep asking the seller what went wrong? You initially suspected that the product was broken? Then the salesman told you that it's because your car doesn't have the original aux menu, so it has no sound, at this time, do you have the feeling of being cheated?
Then you will immediately open Google or YouTube to look for his solution!
SOLUTION 1
This is the earliest solution, which is to use an FM transmitter and input the sound from your new display into the transmitter and then receive it with the original radio, this way was very popular 10 years ago because it was the easiest and cheapest solution.
SOLUTION 2
When you became more and more dissatisfied with the interfering noise from the FM transmitter, programming came along to turn on the original AUX menu, take your car to an auto repair store and use the OBD to program with the computer to get the original AUX menu to show up. But programming takes longer and is not inexpensive. It is a job done by professional automotive software engineers.
SOLUTION 3
I'm talking about a relatively new way of doing this today, which actually simulates programming, using a plug and play activator. As soon as you connect it to your car's display harness, in just a few minutes you can open your original AUX menu.
When this product first came out, it was discovered that he was ineffective for some cars (especially the Professional HU). You can see that the original AUX menu has been activated, but when you turn off the car and then turn it on again, you will find that the AUX AUDIO menu is gone.
The engineers made some adjustments to the activation process, that is, after you activate it, you have to turn off the car and disconnect the negative terminal of the car battery, let the car rest for 15 minutes, and then connect the battery back to the car, so that the AUX menu will be retained forever.
NOTE.
When using this product, there are some car owners who have installed the Android display and then activated it, the seller's instructions are to always restore the original installation. Keep the original display and wiring harness, this way the activation is the most secure.
Once you have confirmed activation of the AUX menu, you can absolutely remove the device.
PROS
The advantage of this product is that it is very easy to activate, simple and successful.
CONS
It can only be used once, if you do not follow the procedure, it may not work.
OTHER INFO
Some other owners are asking, can this activator be used on BMW E65/E66 cars? The reply from the sales side is NO
I also want to know this question, why not develop an activator for BMW E65 E66?
This is my 1st blog post with no experience. After that I think I can do better
