Awesome. Very helpful and educational. I decided to remove the factory CD changer from my car because I never use it anymore and wanted to use that space for a new mod (airplay mirroring device). For an entire day I pulled my hair out trying to figure out why I had no audio anywhere in my car. No chimes, no seatbelt sound, BMW Assist SOS error, no power in armrest usb, no audio in the 3.5mm jack. It was crazy. I was convinced the mod I bought was faulty. So I’ve been searching online for hours when I should be sleeping and somehow I landed on this and your previous video. Now, it’s clear to me the optical network was broken by my removal of the CD changer. I’ll reconnect it first thing in the morning and I think that’ll fix my problem. And btw, it’s great that you didn’t edit these videos down. We got to see all the roadblocks you ran into and how you solved them and that in and of itself is education. Excellent job. THANK YOU!

Thank you for your time spent on repairing and showing us these BMW repairs.I own two E60's MY '05, and '06 Both have the adaptive sport pkg with the adaptive headlights, the rear light covers on both cars failed and let water in. I replaced one of AHL module with a new one drivers side only, rt side HL cover was still good. I tried swapping parts from car to car as the '05 lights were working fine. after putting them back on the '05 now they don't work either. adaptive part, lighting is fine. I have watched several vids on the FRM at the footwell. and how to see if the 50 count has been triggered due to a constant short. This could be my issue as well but I bought the BMW software off of Fleabay and seems to have all the different programs needed. My real problem is I have never coded before but it seems straight forward but is insanely hard to find two people that can give every step to get this job done, A manual is all I ask but we are the builders of the software manuals it seems. lol.. NCS expert, mine does not have the exact same options as yours shows, which confuses me until I can figure this out. I could definitely use some guidance on getting through the NCS Expert and others needed for VO/FA, VIN matching etc. After Watching your videos I can start to see a similar approach to solving these issues. The '05 car is getting a CDC I bought, I have the fiber connector I ordered, Just need to remove from jumper connector to the 2 way that plugs into the CDC connector. Then try what you did for the coding. I now am a subscriber and enjoying it.Thanks againWally

Hi I am on my phone at the moment, and is a bit more tricky to post links... but search on my videos.... I have a video where I show how to check and reset a short count on the reversing lights of an e90. I would guess that would be very similar on the e60... Obviously select different car and different light address... Have a look at it... it might help you... As for NCS Expert, I have many different profiles... but you just need 2 or so...

Hi One of the things that can cause the system to behave like that, is a bad mulf... The Bluetooth/telefone module in the boot...

Hi You can do some basic checks... like ensure that all the connections are good and secure, that the microphone is clear and not covered with dust etc... Other than that, you need to scan it, see if there is any codes, and go from there... To be honest, I don't think something like that would trigger any codes, nor you will be able to see it with the diagnostics... Ultimately, you can try a software update, but for that you need to visit the dealer, or a garage with the correct equipment. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching!

Had someone unplugged the optic from the mask and plugged it into the Parrot kit? As you unplugged the Parrot to put it back in the mask, will the Parrot not work now? Also if you have to "Add" a device IE a Parrot kit, do you have to splice/alter the individual fibre cables into another plug by adding 1 lengh of fibre?
@LMAutoRepairs7 жыл бұрын
Steve Ashcroft Hi Steve! Indeed... someone when fitting the parrot, has left the optics unplugged. All they had to do was to move the optics from the original car radio plug, to the parrot cable adaptor... which was what I did. The parrot does not need optics, and will just carry on working as normal. If you need to install something that needs connecting to the optic network, yes, you need to run extra optic cable in order to add the device and close the loop. In this case, the mulf (the Bluetooth phone system), in the boot was faulty, I would prefer to have it replaced and keep everything through the I-Drive than add the parrot... but the owner didn't... lol Thank you for watching!

Hi, i have a head unit not coded correctly error that has popped up on my 2004 e60. everything works fine, sound , cd changer etc. will a SG_CODIEREN job fix the problem. and which module will i have to do it on? thank you.

imran khan Hi That comand needs to be performed on the actual ccc... But, for that to work you first need to ensure you are using the correct profile, and that this is correctly set up... (plenty of info out there...) Second, if you have any mods that have been done, and/or are not in the VO, the coding will not be correct... if that makes sense... Hope that helps...

@LMAutoRepairs yep, just saw em. Hey, I had to take my glove box off in order to change my blower motor. In reassembly, I noticed the red light optics (output?) wire was hanging out of its connector. I was able to unlock its little white cap, put some adhesive on it and place it back into the connector. When I plug it back into the V shaped housing that loops the connection, and place it back into the compartment, I get a little intermittent static from the aux and satellite radio. If I leave it hanging, it sounds cleaner. What would be the cause of the static when I remount it? Do fiber optic wires short?
@LMAutoRepairs Жыл бұрын
They do not short, and it is weird what you are describing... The optic fibre carries digital data, in the form of light pulses... either works or not... Check around that area, my guess is that there is something else being disturbed that causes that... 👍👍👍

@LMAutoRepairs I got frustrated and left it outside of the little compartment, slightly hanging in the glove box. It's been holding up well so far. At least if I hear it again, it's readily accessible. I might re-harness it when I switch out my head unit. Thank you very much for your replies. Got a new subscriber.

André Mendes Bem... eu acho que deve dar retirando o velho mulf e adicionando o novo ao VO or FA, depois codificar o carro de acordo com o novo VO... todos os módulos do carro se vai configurar de acordo com o novo mulf... mas eu estou só a pensar alto... tens de pesquisar... vê se o código do mulf 2 no VO é diferente do antigo... se for há uma boa chance de funcionar...
@mendes571007 жыл бұрын
Já pesquisei muito mas não está fácil até parece que as pessoas têm "medo" de falar sobre isto como se fosse um segredo...enfim... quando dizes codificar o carro isso é codificar os módulos todos depois de actualizar o VO?

Se tens cabo e software, entra com o NCS and modifica VO, adiciona $6FL e $620. Depois codifica o carro todo... ao fazer isto os modulos sao codificados de acordo com o VO.
