Hello,
These units are available for E83, E84, F25, F30 and other BMW models, share the same hardware and only base, connectors, harnesses and MCU versions change according to specific model. They are probably produced from one factory but u will them around with brands like: MEKEDE, NAVIFFLY, DASAITA, UGODE, AVIN etc. So there are CCC, CIC, and NBT MCU versions. Mine is for E83 X3 and came with a CIC version. Aliexpress sellers support is zero... Anyway I need desperately to update MCU and I cannot through normal menu way. It just recognises the update file, suppose to start procedure and then u wait forever and nothing happens. It is a common issue lately since it is being discussed many times at f30bimmerpost forum. Can some expert guy pls suggest a different procedure like renaming the file and force update it somehow during booting maybe??
the file is in an mcuupdate.bin form.
Thanks a lot!

Of cource I did, no difference.
This is really annoying I am having the same problem. There must be a way to force install mcu like the firmware. Maybe the file needs a different name or header. I don't know. Hope someone has a suggestion.
similar issue here ..
and yes I hit some search button..
having the 10.25,
installed and first it did work. (with ccc head unit)
accidentally hit a update wile first time opening file explorer, that one changed my fortune.
I think I am now in cic or such...
cant get into my native system.
idrive button does not take enter, but idrive can be used to go back to android (holding it for 5 sec)
so I stuck in nowhere (cant even change audio/aux)
so how can I get it back to ccc ?
am guess I need a mcu file, where can I get one ?
cheers
and thanks form Germany

new os img
new mcu update . bin
no fix
got second unit all frehs and new
no change. can bus commands from ifdrive controller do not work.
there have been some posts reporting the same issue (idrive controller hangs) but there is no solution posted.
my guess > something wrong inside mcu settings.
Hello,
Same issue here (but with 10.25" PX6 android 8.1 CCC idrive).
- idrive works on android side.
- idrive does not work on original OEM screen (BMW menu).
The seller asked me to update mcu twice, nothing has changed (did not validate the reception of my order until tested, so no payment from Aliexpress to seller until it works ...).
I did not tried to full update (did not find PX6.img file on the net, and from what people are reporting, it does not change a thing).
One thing I have noticed :
- when on android idrive works
- then when switch to BMW menu (click on "Car Info"), if I try actions, nothing happens.
- BUT, when I go back to android (press menu 3secs), the android cursor has moved !
This means that idrive actions are NOT forwarded to CCC controller, AND interpreted inside android !
It seems so stupid, but this little bug ruins the possibility to use this screen at all : if we cannot go on the BMW menu to set the correct outputs and shortcut, it is totally useless.

BMW 10.25" HU Android 7.1 px3 MCU update issue
yes very annoying.
maybe time to hang our post one line up and make it a new thread!?
base info:
android 8.1
image: px6
mcu / . 023042bGS-ccc-hw8-190401 (B1280_170325)
I have exactly the same issue. Idrive controller works for Android menu but when entering car info the idrive controller doesn't work. When I connect my original CCC screen and the android together entering car info the idrive controller works on the old idrive system. Changing the CCC screen cable to route to the android screen again still gives me the non working idrive controller. Seems there is something wrong with either the CCC screen cable that came with the unit or the firmware. Did someone already got a fix? It is really annoying.
Thanks
same here
Hello,
Same here for me, 2005 e87 CCC car with idrive, Android 8.1 Px6 unit : idrive moves not working on BMW OEM menu when using new screen.
To be more precise : the moves / events made on the idrive when in original BMW menu does not do anything on the original interface, BUT, are interpreted on the android side!
The Mcu firmware does not seem to redirect correctly the CAN bus idrive knob messages to the CCC controller.
If someone has some infos on the Mcu source code used... It would help...
At least I know we are not alone and this seems to be CCC with 8.1 related...
Regards all

I am not sure whether it has to do with the MCU.. When i connect the android unit but connect the lvds cable from the radio unit to the original screen switching to car info on the android unit gives me the ability to control the original ccc screen with the idrive button. It seems like the MCU works correct than right? One thing i have noticed is that the original lvds cable (that plugs in to the radio unit and to the screen) has a metal harness (i think for the ground) . The cable that i got with the android unit doesn't have a metal harness but on the HU android side the connector seems to have a ground connector, could it just be that the cable is not correct? The ground of the radio unit should be connected to the metal side on the android HU cable? Do you have the same cable?
Here is a video where can see how the two screens together do work: (search on youtube for: "Idrive not working in android 10.25 car info" my username is pietklazen100) (sorry as a new member i am not allowed to post links yet)
The automatic aux switching works when entering video on the android HU and entering car info also lets me control the unit. The only thing that is different in this setup is the lvds cable...

Exactly the same here.
I think this issue is clearly software-related.
Because if I press the button of the iDrive (in the original menu) nothing happens.
BUT when I push it to the sides (left, right, top, bottom) for longer, the 4 menus are changing.
But I cannot control anything there.
WTF is going on?
Where can I change to bloody config?
I can't listen to FM or anything else.
Factory setup code?

There is a factory settings menu item. However i dont know the code to enter it
This is where you change the idrive your car has.
I am looking for the code also. Would be happy with suggestions!!

Hello Ducvfr,
The parking sensor is working for you in rear camera screen ? I means you can see the PDC radar in the right hand side.
Did you try Picture in Picture function ? For exemple, can you see youtube on rear camera view ?

I have a Bosion PX6 Android 10 head unit.
My car is a Toyota Camry 2010 that came with a basic radio with XM radio and the Bosion 10" is an amazing upgrade for this car.
I am having a problem with the steering wheel controls as they don't set up with the button setup in the vehicle setup menu. I have tried many times with different settings.
The buttons on the left side of the steering wheel sort of work, the ones on the right do not seem to work at all.
In the hidden menu the various CANBUS settings don't really make any difference. There's like 10 different Toyota settings but all act the same as setting the Canbus to 0 (no Canbus?).
Anyone have any suggestions to resolve this?
I'm also looking for Bosion contact info or web page.
okay, the key is in the hidden menu or factory menu, you really need to search (depending in the canbus module you have) the car maker and model.
The canbus must show up and report the version.
The menu you find to setup the buttons in the android will never work.
hang in there you'll get it.

It sounds like you know what you are talking about. Fyi that I have been through the hidden menu. When you say the canbus must show up and report the version, I am not clear on what you mean. I have tried all 7 or 8 Toyota canbus configs and when I select any, the phone loads an associated program and reboots. None are really making any difference, always the left buttons kind of work and nothing on the right.
Any suggestions you have would really be appreciated.
Where you see the kernel version, os version and mcu version you must have also canbus version.
Can't show it to you now but you should see something like simple and version as 1.13.something
If nothing is there, the canbus config is not yet correct and radio can't detect correctly the canbus box. But you say that some steering wheel buttons are working. In this case. It seems to me that the canbus module in the radio is not yet updated to your car or the canbus box firmware is also not with a version where your car is supported. Contact the seller and claim if you still have time for it.
UPDATE: added aftermarket canbus box has corrected 90% of the buttons. The remaining button is the Voice button to issue voice commands to the phone. This is not a choice within the head unit button mapping. I suppose I should try a different car selection (?).
Anyone know if there is a website for Bosion for manuals and updates?
I don't think so :/ I've tried to get some answers from manufacturer but they aren't well informed, i think. Or they are not willing to tell a secret :/

what can bus did you buy? for what car?
The car was a Toyota Camry.

Sorry for the delay, I have an aftermarket box from PAC called SW1-RC-1 which works 95% perfectly and allowed me to program the buttons as normal.
I have a 2010 Toyota Camry.
The only issue is the Bosion PX6 Android "10" is that in the setup for the canbus within the head unit, there is no button to map to for the voice button to on the steering wheel. Seems like a very odd issue as the voice button is so normal and I'm still looking for an update or a way to find that button in settings.
Hello,
I've recently got a car that already has this unit installed. I'm struggling with below things to find:
1. Where can I find updates for this specific unit ? I've searched but found different MCU , different build , nothing exactly the same (I'm not a pro with these things).
2. Does my radio has RDS ? I've found some similar pictures (with the same radio but had a button RDS) / others had in Car Settings (tried also in there but no luck, may be related to point 1).
3. Does the unit has a canbus (Kia Sportage SL - 2012) ? How can I find that ? I've dig to CarInfo , tried to select some of them but got that "Version Information not detected". (the steering wheels commands are working but I was more curious about CAN Infos)
Thank you !
Here's what I found searching on MCU prefix

Thank you , but I want to make sure if I take something newer to update my unit, it won't break.
I'm trying to find something as close as this one so I can be sure that I have the right one.
I got more additional info about the unit, maybe this would help me guide me to the right path. (Attached)
The thing is that I cannot download anything from Google Playstore ("waiting to install" for all apps..), my USB is giving me headache (sometime it works, other times it doesn't recognize it and some times it shows bogus values and it's empty).
Hi, your unit has no canbus device which operates and communicates with car MCU, thats one problem, other one is that you dont have rds activated thru hidden menu settings, find hidden menu and correct settings (I dont know what pin do you uise for accessing hidden menu, consult with others with similar device).
With no canbus you probably have no steering wheel commands, access to climate controls, doors, travel computer etc.
You can buy and install canbus specific for your device from Ali Express.
Hello everyone. It is a BMW X5 E70 2008, ccc. I bought HU on Aliexpress (the version is in the picture). After installation, the OEM BMW menu does not work (no signal), the usb does not show and the electronic steering wheel adjustment does not work. All cables well connected, checked several times. Can someone help me enable these functions? Thanks in advance
Hi , did you get CANBUS box with this unit?
Canbus is used to connect multimedia device with car functions and car ECU.
If you have one installed probably wrong settings are set for car. You can change it in factory settings menu (hidden menu with PIN code access).
And consult with your seller about bought head unit rather than writing problems here on forum.
As for system update, you can ask seller for update or find on this forum or net, by search term "ZLH_BMH" - that's your version of software for unit.
Hello and thanks for your reply. I have the canbus and it is connected properly. Checked several times by an auto electrician. Everything works as it should except the oem bmw menu. In the factory settings you're talking about, I tried all the options, but it's always the same - no signal. I think it's definitely a software problem and I can't find an update here or anywhere. And the seller is completely useless

I would try to change canbus box with other one, another model like HIworld or Simplesoft, obviously there is no communication between ecu of car and head unit or cables behind unit for keys / steering wheel are misconnected or misswired. Check for wiring diagram for this device, find it one net somewhere.
