Also I didn't see that you had that car launcher, thought you meant the same unit as me. Annnyway.
Not sold on that car launcher - been playing with it on my phone but it seems so . . . limited or something, I dunno. I like the default one that came with my unit for some reason. BUT being Android, it's nooo issue to have two! Or three.. or four! Hooray

I don't get the limit part. It's just a skin and all functions are the same.

I like my xtrons unit and so far no real problems at all. There is a minor crackle sound on certain apps like google maps when the voice is talking but I read that it is a common chip set bug with android and text to speech.
The only bummer I have had with dealing with this xtrons product is the support forums. It is a total joke over there. If you ask a question in their forums you have to wait for a mod to approve it before it appears and then if you ask a question they do not want to answer or if they feel that they do not like you because you bring their bugs to light they will simply never approve your post and you will be throttled to invisible. I even emailed admin asking whats up and they just do not respond. It's a basic F U over there and they should look out because I may not have a voice on there but I can tell people here!

Yeah it sounds like all they are doing is screening post that bring any negative aspects or bugs into light. This is a shame because with the unit being Android based it is possible that others may be able to come up with a tweak or solution to make the units less crippled for the people who have already put up the bucks and have to live with it.

So I've gotten back to the install on MINE (long story)
I'm trying to get the steering controls to work.
I've removed the factory dsp crap from the trunk, so now I'm trying to figure out how to get the ibus into the unit!
No idea where to connect the ibus WIRE to my connector!? How do I hook it in to the little red box that came - what pin!? Then how does it get from there, in to the head unit?
Currently I have the headunit connector with:
ground
key 1
brake/safety
cam-in
camline
key2
ill
acc-in
ground
B+
(I think B+ is Chinese for main power)
That little red box is spliced in to some random wires it seems - including power and ground. No idea what lead to hook the ibus up to to make the controls work.
I hooked the ibus up to a scope today and could see the different buttons making different signals (skip forward, vol +, vol -, skip backward, phone, hangup, and funny enough air recirculation also is on there) so I know the ibus wire and the controls are working as expected.
I just need to know how to hook that ibus wire up TO the damn unit! No instructions ANYWHERE. Anyone with a harness - franco/xboss can you tell me where that ibus wire goes to PLEASE? Spent literally 5 hours in the car today in 9000°c weather trying to make it work.

B+ means battery positive; so yes main power lead.
Battery + , hah makes sense!
Still can't figure out the wiring to this red box though.

Yeah, the OBD box patches inline with the harness that comes with the head unit. I will have mine out to install DVR soon and I will get the details.

So....
Made it work.
Might have worked all along too.
Turns out the ibus connects to the green wire that goes into the canbus box. Then the signal goes from the canbus box through the white wire to the headunit.
... I got that far in my trial and error bits HOWEVER WHAT I DIDNT KNOW was that it automatically knows what volune up and down and skip and phone buttons do.
I kept going to the steering wheel program buttons page and nothing happens there. You don't NEED to go there unless you DON'T have a bus sytem. Uh yi yi yiiiiiii!!
Either way, nee harness made up and it all worms great! Illum didnt work right but I just bypassed the canbus box for that and now it does. I hooked up thr illum wire from my car to a scope and saw its a pwm 12v signal so the canbus box wouldnt use that.. Its not code its just voltage manipulation. Maybe newer e38s had illum as part of the ibus or canbus or kbus or whatever damn bus it chooses.
Very VERY happy though!
... Then I dropped the unit. Thats for another time ahha.
