What a brilliant way of connecting to the old stereo... Not to good with soldering so I cut the cables and through crimped them... works an absolute treat and the sound is really load as it doesn't go through the aux board... Thanks for the top video 🤘🏻🤙🏻👍🏻

Way better then the other video I just watched before this! I’ll do this for sure!

I just got my module in today and put it in. This unit works special thanks to The Bimmer Fixer! I read some old comments saying that the sound was low. That’s wasn’t the case for me sound was loud and clear just as if my radio was playing. There was no static noise coming in whatsoever… After installing it I put my key in just to test it out and I didn’t get a blue flashing light from the module. Once I started the car the module came on. Quick note just remember that the module will not work if the car isn’t started up and the engine is running.

Excellent and simple way to bluetooth you're a star!!!

This is incredible! Thank you great video

Great video, very informative! Thank you

Awesome mate. I'll get this installed in my e60💪🏽

Liked ur vid mate ,,,, Helped loads! Cheers!!!

Great video !! I wound up cutting a little further back from the connector and after stripping down the speaker wires, couldn’t find the black wire only the white and red wires. I figured the black wire had to be a combination of the copper wires insulating the two and attached to the clear (mine was black) wire and it worked without issue. It works well, but definitely not as loud as connecting directly to the Aux. I think I would have opted for a direct plug in type Fm transmitter instead though.

An amazing fix !!!

great work

I just completed this today after watching this video 👍🏻, but I also took out the 2 cigarette lighters and installed a USB and Type C ports, great video.

Very good. I've been using an Bluetooth FM transmitter shoved into one of those rear cig lighters. It works well in that it connects to my phone automatically, the only issue being the sound quality wouldn't he as good as this aux setup. Might give it a go!

great video. ty

Tolles Video, ich werde es versuchen ❤

Hi there, let me share cable pairing for LCI and BT adapter with the red, yellow and white audio outputs: BT:CAR Red:Red Yellow:Blue White:Brown. Firstly I followed pairing from different comment, sound worked but Balance fader did not worked correctly. Power cables mapping is the same as shown in the video. Works for BT adapter like Jie Rui bt-5908. Costs 5€ with shipping lol. Thanks for the video! M.

Super filmik założyłem i działa

Just done this. Colours different on my car but got it first time

I'm considering to get USB port connected the similar way, but using CD changer's wires in order to keep operation on the BMW screen (I prefer this instead of messing with my phone to select music from). Would it work as mp3/wma player (the main CD slot does eventually)? Because I only found adaptors advertised as "charging ports", but that's not my target. Plug & Play transmitters sound awful, I tried 4 different manufacturers.

hi great informative video is this compatable on 2005 onwards

Great vid, very interesting. One silly question though, can you make handsfree calls with this too, or is just for playing music? Thanks in advance! 👍

Hello greetings from the Netherlands, what is the brand or type of the Bluetooth device so I can look if I can get it in the Netherlands. Thank you for helping us beamers

Hello mate. Nice job really like it. Can You tell me please what about phone calls? Once You answer a phone call or want to make them what about the music? I m asking cause that will be 2 separate bluetooth connections ?

Bought myself Bluetooth and followed the guide, one short cut I did I have unplugged cigarette lighter inserted wires though the holes and plugged cables back.

Great stuff! I've just bought one of these modules, my only concern is stripping the wire on the live cable, do I need to disconnect the battery first? I usually strip wire.with my teeth that's all 😆

With this method If i'm playing music from aux bluetooth does it controlable via steering wheel? And also any tips how to make e60 playing music from usb drive (thumb drive) ? What sound do you have? HIFI or L7?

Hai... Sir, I need Help..... I have BMW 530i Audio Problems.... ... Radio unit (like you said, regardless of AUX or FM mode) will just cut off for 3-5 seconds and then come back on every 10-15 mins or so, sometimes longer. One thing I notice is that if my volume is cranked up pretty loud, it always seems to come back on lower than it was on before. Not sure if the unit is overheating or what? I haven't done much further analysis on the issue yet.

What are my options if I don't have the aux and lighter module on the back?

Please use a UV curable isolator and never let the cables free air where they could come in contact. Otherwise you might kill the Preamplifier in your Car's Audio Amplifier. That means youll need to replace Operational Amplfiers which will definitely be a pain.

after install.. do u still have to turn the idrive radio to aux mode for it to work? or is it just straight bluetooth connection between the adapter and the phone? the reason i ask, my bluetothh module for my phone connection is not working.. and cant get the sux option on the screen to light up.. any help will be appreciated

Is there any options to stream music from phone and see track names on the head unit and skip tracks with streeringwheel?

Hi: I have a 99 530i that came with aux port like yours. When I try aux cable, the loudness is quite poor. I am wondering if this bluetooth module that you soldered to the aux cable would also have loudness issue.

Can wire tap connector be used for this? I'm not good at soldering

I’ve just bought a 2003 545i, doesn’t have any aux or Bluetooth at all. Any cost effective recommendation for Bluetooth hands free and playing audio from my phone? Got one of those fm things but the sound quality is pants

Hey there, looking to do this for my 07 550i. The way you have done, I'm guessing you can still use the aux input as normal, is that correct?

Tell me plz, stering wheel buttons (next, prev song) work with it? What is your bmw (preLCI/LCI)?

Danke!

Nice 👍. Will the auxiliary jack point still able to work after doing this diy?

My e60 2003 don't have aux :( i need to enable it with encoding programs, i don't know how to do that 😭

After Using a while it, how good it works? What about sound quality? And what happens when you receive a call from someone?

Hi love your videos! Could I just ask.. on your cd player when playing a cd does it resume where you left off or at a random track when you get back in car say half hr later or next morning?? Only mine does and its really annoying!!

Hi I got a broken jack inside the green connector and would like to remove it but didn't manage to unclip it. Any idea ?

Hi, great video but I've bought the device from the link you've sent and it came with different coloured wires. On the device it came with the red and black but the 3 wires off of the clip you cut off were red, white and yellow. I've assumed the the yellow cable was the black in your video but it doesn't work. Any help is much appreciated. Also the black and red cable you wire into the cigarette lighter were so much thinner than yours in the video.

Hey! I just did this in my car and i hear more on left side than the right side.. why? Checked and the cabels are done just like you did

Mine was an e61 with brown red and blue for the aux wires

Great video came across your video. Would this work on a BMW 730D on a 06 plate?

What do you do if your aux is in the armrest?? I dont have it where the vid shows

Do you have the link to put the aux module ?

Within that compartment there is a large wire harness attached to the floor with a purple plug end. What does that do, because my purple plug isn't attached to anything?

Hi, Is it possible to use the steering wheel buttons to change the song, with this method or do i need to do it in a diferent way. i’ve just ordered this adapter

Hi, do you think i could adapt a Car Audio MP3 Interface CD Adapter Changer AUX SD USB Data Cable Mini to this aux?

Hi! I have recentley installed a bluetooth modul and followed your instructions. The sound quality is very low and the bass isn't as powerful. Low on volume to. It has also appeared like a static sound, like when the tv och radio hasn't found a active chanel. Do you know what could be wrong?

Hi mate I have a BMW x1 2010 I have a telephone button on the steering wheel also on the right side of the radio but I can’t get Bluetooth on my phone do you know if the car has Bluetooth capability . Thanks in advane

Hi. I have a 2008 E60. I purchased the exact Bluetooth model in your video, directly from Amazon. I wired the unit as instructed and bluetooth seems to work well, but the sound output is extremely low. I desoldered the wires from the internal aux wires, soldered them to a stripped 3.5mm cable, and plugged it directly into the aux port. The sound is exactly the same. Do you have thoughts on what I might be able to do to fix the problem, or is the unit defective?

Waar kan je de Bluetooth kastje kopen? Heb je een web site?

Can i do it it my bmw x5 2009 model. It has only one cigarette lighter behind.

I have bought from same link, it came with white, yellow and red for AUX. What color should I match? Should I match yellow to what you matched your white?

The only problem doing this is by using the stock aux you don't get full sound because BMW put resistors in the AUX plug itself that limits both volume and bass. You are much better off installing this straight in the back of the head unit. Add a phillips head screwdriver to the tools he is using and you are good to go. It won't take you but maybe 15 minutes longer to install into the CD port of the head unit where this was designed to go and the sound quality is 100 times better!

Hi, can you tell me if you are listening to the radio and a call comes in does it automatically come in over the radio? Thanks

Hi bro. Would the aux still be able to work with this or just bluetooth?

Hi can you tell me where can I buy that please

Hello, pls i Need Help on my e60 2006, i have a big grey, a yellow and a black wire, on my Bluetooth Adapter the wire are red, black, yellow. I Need the Right Connection. I would be happy. Thank you

Hi I have done the same as you but there is no bass anymore?! Left/Right speaker test works... If I plug the Aux Kabel in the bass is there again so it has to be a problem with the cables

Hello! With this mod bluetooth will be work only when ignition is on, because on e60 cigarette lighter socket works only with ignition. Am i right?

I have an aux port in the back of mine but no aux option to play music that way

Just installed the module, but for some reason the under seat speakers doesn't work at all with bluetooth? any got the same problem? connection and so on is no prob. also it its put in aux and i turn on the car the "bumb" in the speakers doesn'd sound healthy🤨

Link to that Bluetooth adapter?

Is this possible on a e92 just to conect to the aux conector and have it work

Mine is driving me insane, it's doing this hissing sound when AUX is selected in idrive, took the entire car apart, I don't know if something is wrong in the headunit or the aux female board itself is causing the static, doesn't matter if a cable is plugged in, hissing is still there, the higher the volume, the louder the hissing/static sound, if I mute the car it goes away as well, if I switch to radio it's gone as well, so I narrowed it down to either something being wrong with the headunit, which I wouldn't be surprised as mine is the crap basic headunit M-ASK 2 since the car is a 08 LCI model and used to have a small screen until I switched it with a android NBT EVO ID5 Clone. Still though, it's driving me insane, no matter how much I try to modify and love the car it's always something, somewhere not working right, tried this bluetooth adapter thingy, same outcome, the only thing left is either change the entire headunit and code CIC which I honestly don't want to do and change the female port with board as well or active the USB function, I'll probably do that since USB doesn't carry noise like aux jacks do. And to top it off I installed 160W tweeters with an amp and 500w subwoofer and the sound is sublime now... Until there's a pause in the song and you hear the static that is always present and makes you wanna burn the car down. Oh well. Hope the USB thingy will give me a workaround.

Hey guys, is it BT/Aux quality sound for music or does it come out low quality and hollow sounding? I like my bass...thx guys

Do you offer fitting services? My BMW has no usb ports or blue tooth, just a naff nokia blue tooth phone connection, i dont think the cigerette lighter socket works.😭

On may e60 2009 aux cable colour is red, blue and brown and on this Bluetooth i have red, yellow and white. Do you have any idea..?

Where can I get that Bluetooth device?

How can I get this in the U.S?

does the battery need to be disconnected to perform this?

Is the aux port still usable?

Hello Who i can find this part ???

Work with phone calls ?

What if my AUX does not power

I dont have it aux in and what now?

I take it that it does not work on the 2005 525D

I've a question my drivers door will not open from inside or outside what do I do

if you use aux inlet, sound quality is really bad. Do it properly!

No programming required ?

All connected soldered up and bass is very very low, compared to radio

I just installed end the sound is not great

My e60 must be the most basic motor ever built ..I don't have the under arm rest aux nor do I had rear 12v socket...what a pain in the arse all I want to do is listen to music 😢😢😢😢
