Installed a apple carplay module but no noise

[DanieI]

I installed an aftermarket e60 screen for my 2005 530i ccc screen and it turns on and pairs with my phone good but I can’t get no noise whatsoever, I connected the fiber optic cable to the new harness too and still nothing. Nor can I use my idrive knob and when I try to go back to the original screen it just gives me a static screen still without noise. my steering wheel buttons work tho such as I can turn on siri, switch songs, pause songs and also end calls if someone called me. so I don’t know if there’s something else I have to do or just “suffer” without apple car play and go with the orginal ccc screen and use a bluetooth transmitter since I don’t have aux either. some people are saying to upgrade to a cic screen and idrive knobs but I wanted to come here and see what I can do.

Which one did you buy? I bought one and I am having intermittent sound. It's like the bluetooth from the car is turning on and off.
