My factory screen died, so I went with a PEMP screen (CarPlay and such) to replace it. Install took a while (because I have a huge box back there, cd changer) but it's up and running with a couple of problems left to sort out. Does anyone have experience with fixing these?

1. The manual says to set the unit to use the car bluetooth with CarPlay. When I do so, I can't get music audio from CarPlay, but when I turn it off, I can't get phone audio in CarPlay. Any insights?
2. The splash screen shows the PEMP garbage rather than the OEM BMW screen. Any insight on if this can be changed?

Thanks!

Just replaced my first gen 4K with the current gen. Same HDMI cable (ultra high speed) and settings. However screen is blacking out on regular intervals. Any suggestions here?

Edit: switched to another ultra high speed cable, still happening.

Further edit: Switching HDMI ports (even though port one works fine for everything else) seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks for all of your comments and help!

Tried to post under a new throwaway, feeling vulnerable at the moment.  Didn't work so I'm just laying it out there. I am somewhat recently diagnosed TLE, mostly focal seizures, a couple of tonicy-clonicy physically manifesting episodes as well.  My wife is my trusted partner in this journey, my current transportation method.  The only person I really have to turn to when this all gets a bit overwhelming.  My main trigger is stress and I’m just about 5 months seizure free on my meds and stress management.

This morning, as she was driving me to work, she yelled at me for 15 minutes straight about something I wouldn’t agree to do that she wanted me to do regarding parenting.  I (as I do now, again, my meds and stress management) calmly and continuously asked her to please stop yelling at me, to which she continually stated she wasn’t yelling.  It continued and I began to feel the pressure building in my head, fear rising from my stomach and I let her know that I could have a seizure and asked one more time for her to stop.  At some point after this, she decided it would be a good idea to scream at the top of the lungs under the guise of “this is what yelling sounds like, the other thing wasn’t yelling” and there I go.  It was quick.  A jolt, a loss of awareness of everything around me.  Although it was quick, I was (and am now) quite post-ictal.  I felt like I was going to cry after it happened, I could feel the tears in my eyes and all I was being told is “don’t play the victim” and to “get out of the car”.  I took a deep breath and silently and slowly left the car, doing my best to be ready to face everyone in the elevator.  All of this feels terrible.  I try not to think negatively, but I really do think I didn’t do anything wrong in the interaction.  I’m hurt, I’m disappointed and a little bit scared to ride in the car with her again.  Sorry, just needed to tell someone.  Thanks for listening, r/epilepsy.
