Andream Aux Quality is horrible?
Hello,
I installed an andream unit (full unit) and replaced my factory iDrive. For the default car interface, Bluetooth and USB sound perfect. When I switch to Aux and actually use the CarPlay, the Audio is distorted and the bass is extremely heavy. I've tried to mess with the EQ settings but I just can't listen to the horrible quality. Does anyone have this unit or have a workaround for this? I'd like to use CarPlay navigation and the default audio sound, but it always switches to Bluetooth (via CarPlay) when I do this…

I have the same unit. The workaround is to automatically switch to bluetooth audio when it connects to CarPlay:
Go to AppStore and download Shortcuts then (you need to be connected to BMW): Automation - New ("plus" button on top) - Create Personal Automation - CarPlay - Connects (check) - Next - Add Action - Change Playback Destination - Click "iphone" and change it to your BMW's bluetooth - Next - Uncheck "Ask Before Running" - Done |

Fixing andream audio quality
Could you elaborate further on the steps you used to solve the terrible audio quality problem?
I try to connect to the integrated bluetooth, but somehow the andream unit is still the output from the phone. I have a 2013 CIC F30 328i. The audio quality is so, so bad. I see you mention using an automation script to send certain audio to certain bluetooth connections. Could you elaborate further on that? You have it connect to integrated bluetooth for audio output and then for carplay/android auto, you have it go through the andream bluetooth? Any help or clarification is appreciated. |

Once you connect to CarPlay, the script/setting from the shortcuts app automatically runs so that you visually see CarPlay, but the audio is coming from the OEM BMW Bluetooth connection.

I always keep my maps silent, so I don't know. But I can test it if you want.
