Hello,

I replaced my NB1 head unit to sinosmart with can bus control. Erverything works good beside bluettoth knobs on steering wheel which is not functioning at all.
I get some knowledge that those knobs are resistant so do not work with can bus.
Then I found that wires from those knobs are going to ISO main plug to radio unit which is then connected to harness from radio. On the radio there are two free wires Key1 and Key2 which suppose to work with bluetooth knobs if connected properly. Question is if anyone made it to those knobs work with android unit?

key 1 and key 2 read resistance from steering buttons.
You may need help from the seller on how to configure, or send it back and get one that is more compatible.

Search here for options, because some have gotten a unit that works with all buttons.
Well, I already solved this issue. I found on electrical diagram that wires from those 3 buttons are connected with one cable going to unit ISO socket. I connected this cable to key1 and then I could program all 3 bluetooth buttons on steering wheel. I believe i am first one who solved that because I couldnt find any solution on any forum.

Hello @antas.adrian

I have a M6 2014 2.5i with bose sound. I am looking into buying the Sinusmart HU from ali. I believe you have the same one: Bose Canbus 4G/32G 8Core.
I can see it has a DSP and amplifier. How is the sound compared to original?
Does the center speaker in the dash also work?
By any chance did you try if Android auto is working via cable/wireless ?
How complicated is the installation in matter of minutes/hours?
Did you have any issues with he unit since installation? would you buy it again?

Thanks
