Trying to identify a UIS8581 unit

[Lunde67]

That flickering, I don't think it's an issue. All you gotta go is, settings, factory settings, password 8888, audi, and there should be a screen settings, like q5 800x480 or something like that, just try different options. And you should be fine. Just gotta find your option in this case. If you won't be able to find it, I can look it up tmr and add some screenshots if u need.

Other than updates, MCU is a hardware based changes and optimization, and 3.08 is a software based update for the Android operating system itself, including the audi support. I didn't notice any changes, except for some audi pictures have been added, A6L and etc. Also b4 I had an issue with the android auto auto launching, it would not startup properly when I start the car, I had to turn off the Bluetooth and the wifi on my phone, and then turn everything on again, and after that it would connect. After update, looks like it's fixed and I don't have to do it again.

Also, what kind of boot animation do you have, when the android is starting?
Mine had Android, or the Warning message. After searching a little bit, I actually found an Audi bootscreen.

Hey. i think i got it all running as it should now, i used one of the A6L 800x400 and it all seams to work as it should.
I got a nice Audi boot logo, and its animated when the Android is starting up, looks kinda cool. this is the logo. No more Android Logos..

Hi, new BMW 3.04 Coika firmware (didn't check it, but assume should be fine)

BM_OS_8581_3.04.zip

Works perfect

As far as me, I got no clue. But I don't mind helping you out and try to figure it out. If you don't mind attaching some screenshots of the issue, and menu options as well. So we could see what settings you have and what might fix the issue.

Any updates done recently or any changes to the unit or its settings?

I updated the unit to 3.04. What should I choose for CCC iDrive?

What kind of problem do you have?

Load from old firmware factoryconfig.xml . To do this, put the old factoryconfig.xml and upgrade.system in the OS folder. Delete the rest of the files, I think it will help.

Hi guys new to the forum but is there a way to get rid of the Android boot animation after update? Before this 2.05 update it was only the BMW logo in place of the Android boot start up(now). The seller gave me a HUTUpdate.rar for the USB to plug into HU which still didnt work.. Only thing it manages to replace was 1st part of the boot image but not the second part of the Android boot animation. Many thanks!

Remove bootanimation.zip from the OS folder and update the firmware again, there will be no splash screen. You can make your own and throw your bootanimation.zip into the firmware.

Thanks you mean bootanimation.zip from the HUTUpdate.rar file the seller gave me or the bootanimation.zip file from the OS update pack? Or do you mean the bootanimation.zip from OS folder of the Android HU itself? Sorry very new to this.

Thanks do you know if we are able to actually downgrade to 1.97 without bricking the unit? Incase this doesnt eliminate the Android boot animation.

 

[AlekseyFZ]

Yes, no problem, write the old firmware to USB and update

If next time I just wanna update the boot animation can I just update plug the USB with the bootanimation.zip without including the update.zip in the OS folder? Many thanks

Yes you can upgrade and downgrade, yes you can bootanimation without update.zip

Today I faced the same problem - the solution just needs to be updated to the correct MCU

Thanks I love you! Do I need to update my MCU as well? I dont know if my version of MCU is good or not. Because everytime I listen to music from USB and want to browse the next song on the list, it always puts me back to the top of the song list and I would have to scroll down and find the songs again frustrating!! Haha
