Thread: iDrive for Road Runner - Originally by BTBE

The climate control screen is not implimented as there is no climate control function, plugin or external app available for Road Runner at present.

The climate button on the front menu was orginally done by BTBE to copy the real iDrive menu in the BMW's. I have for now decided to leave that as it is.

To get the weather you can either press the little sun and cloud icon from most of the screens, or navigate through communication and then select weather.

I might change this in later versions to be accessed from the climate button. (as that would seem to be a more appropriate place for it).

Hi. I have already installed last version and when I clicked on CD rip I´ve got credir screen. I do not know how to get rid of it and go back to bmw logo screen. I have just a touchable screen and I think the only way to go bak is to install a keyboard because ther is no touchable area in credir screen. Is that correct?

For some reason to get to the CDRIP plugin, there needs to be a wait screen (there had to be one between every screen in mediacar ), what you are seening is the wait.skin, and your system seems to be stalling on it and not loading the CDRIP plugin. This usually happens if the plugin is not installed on your system or installed correctly.

Do you have the CDRIP plugin installed?


Instructions here

If you do does it work in other skins?

Just seeing if you're on your toes..LOL

Thanks for clearing that up.

Great work. I am really beginning to see how much time and work goes into making these Skins, PSD's and all. Much appreciated to all!

Actually I have taken that on board and moved the Weather to the Climate screen from the Communications screen, as it seems more appropriate.

It'll be in the next release.

Are you still working on those background scrren E.?

Not at the moment, I'm still working on incorporating more things, like maybe lostreceptions draw, chucks calender maybe, and that vehicle maintenance program being developed I spotted. Plus the other GPS's like mappoint iGuidance streets and trips etc.

Also going to reaarange the top info line.

Plus add the configurator screen.


BTW have you seen the 'about' screen under settings?

That's what I meant by Car Data comming soon. I saw opportunity.


Yeah, I just saw it. Nice add...


I've been meaning to ask, what's that touching just above the scrolling Trackname takes you to the audio browser...because it doesn't work for me.

It's pretty tricky getting those backgorunds exactly the same...I've worked on the main menu background a bit, and I'm almost there.

it's a very thin line, so it can be a bit hit and miss. Unfortunately you can't have a button over (or under) scrolling text. if the text was stationary then I could make the button area bigger.

I can imagine.

I think in version 12.1 I might have had the chance to learn flash and then I can put some moving backgrounds in
