Dude you saved my life :-). The CCC in my E92 (2006) has the same layout. Before I did a try in the oven with around 150 °C without success, more than 20 °C outside forced the CCC into reboot loop again. Then I just followed your video. I used nearly the same SMD station and infrared thermometer but a different flux, all cheap stuff from Amazon. What can I say... after months and more than 30 °C outside in the last weeks... the CCC is still working perfectly. Great tutorial and video, thanks from Germany!

Muchísimas gracias por el tutorial,ya he comprado el reparador JBC y está semana me pongo con ello. Un saludo desde Bilbao (España)

Hi, thank you so much. I followed your video step by step using flux and hot air gun at 370c for all the affected parts. Reassembled back and now works like a charm.

thank you very much man,i fixed it in my bmw e60 2003 with "flux rf800 no clear flux" and it finally works after 2 years of constant freezing, best regards from poland

I felt i needed to let you know that i followed your instructions and it worked, my CCC radio is alive again, no more constant reboots. I am so pleased and great full that you taught me how to do this. I will remember your generosity for many years to come. Thank you I used... Soldering flux Liquid SMD/RMA No Clean RF800. Tilted the board and let the flux run through. Hot air paint stripping Heat Gun set to 400℃. Warmed the chip then up to 170℃. Infrared Thermometer Digital Temperature Gun. Constantly monitored the temp on the chip.

Hello. You saved my CCC. It's great that there are people who want to share their knowledge. I used a gel flux but it worked just as well. iDrive comes to life. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for this video, I've had the module removed from my car for half a year and I decided to try these steps, in 20 minutes I saved $250, which was what a repairman was asking me for, and that's 200 miles from me 🎉😅😊 THANKS

2023 . You are a legend. I just did a reflow today on the unit and it fixed my totally non-responsive navigation. I broke the fiber socket but nothing that cannot be "solvered" with some silicone heat gun. The temperature I used was ~ 400 degrees Celsius as lower values would not make the flex to "popcorn". Special care must be taken for the components near the uC. I hope this hold for a couple of years but I will come back with this information (hopefully not) ! Thank you again !

Mister, like others here I'd like to thank you for taking the time to make that video. Thank you The first attempt for me was not a success but the second attempt worked!!! Here's what I did : -I used the same flux that you used in the video, ordered on amazon. I believe it's a important point here to remember. -BEFORE heating the board up, I tilted it so I could see the flux entering on one side and coming out on the other. -150 degree C max, constantly monitored with a laser thermometer. - I cleaned the fiber optic the rubbing alcohol, the right connector had glue on it and I could see crap on the lens. The rest is exactly as described in the video ! Thanks again,

This actually works. I am a novice when it comes to electronics but I managed to get it working. I couldn't take the optical cables out so I just wrapped them in tin foil when heating the flux. Bought a $40 reflow station from ebay beats buying a used CCC unit which still needs to be recoded. becareful with the ribbon cable retaining clips I broke a few but it still works.

Thank you very much sir!!!! It works now as it should, doesn’t restart anymore by itself, or freeze or anything like that. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!

thanks so much for the video! the instructions on how to remove the optical cables were super useful.

I want to thank you very much for the posted clip, I really managed to solve the problem with the navigation on a BMW e 90, thank you once again

I Love you !! 😂 Tried it Last week and it works Like a dream. Saved me 500€ . 👍🏽👍🏽

Great video. Straight forward and clear direction

This really solved the problem, i actually could not believe it at first. Thank you very much for your help. Best regards from germany👍

I install another fan in parallel with the original fan at the top of the cover. I made round hole and I installed in such way that will have same revs than the original. No problem and everything is fine since then! I recommended to everyone!

Did this to my 05 ccc that was boot looping. Used kester 959t solder flux. I can say it is nice to hear some sounds and use the navigation now.

Thanks a lot for that. I fixed my one the same way, you're a legend!

i will be trying this. i bought a 07 bmw 328xi and the idrive is stuck in reboot screen, radio does not work its the biggest piss of for me. BMW dealership said they want 3600$ plus 1000 labour... im going to try this as i dont wanna play around ordering other faulty cccs. i will edit this comment when thr work is complete later in the week. amazing video by the way, your a artist at doing this and it gives me alot of confidence even though im not a pro at this, cheers !

gracias a este video he solucionado mi problema y he arreglado mi radio ccc BMW. Gracias de verdad que funciona

It actually worked.:) hard to believe at first but it worked, amazing money saving

Thank you for uploding this video, my screen is rebooting 90% of the time then after mayby half hour work, im going to test this soon, i buyed your jbc flux also. Thanks

Thank you so much, did the repair today, hopes weren't high, but this video did magic for me 😁

Thank you for the detailed instructions my e60 and e90 ccc recently went out I will be trying this out

Greatings from germany, you saved me 300€. I've changed my dekor and also this. Love u man😂

Muchas gracias por tu video a mi me ha funcionado ya vuelve a funcionar la radio 📻

Thanks for sharing this. It's work very well for me. Hello from Romania 🖐

Thank you for this it worked amazingly! I’ve done reflow work before on computer parts so I had some experience. Your advice helped a great deal! I have a bmw m6 2007 that had been sitting for years and had this problem. Now it’s all working 😎

Thanks, man. This right here is what KZfaq is supposed to be! The reboot problem was happening to me almost contiuously. I'm happy to know that all I have to do is reflow some chips instead of paying $200 to have it fixed elsewhere or dig up a new CCC from a junkyard and get it coded to my 550!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Can you please do a video on how exactly you connect the fan with the power switch? Many thanks again!

tin sa iti multumesc foarte mult pentru clipul postat chiar am reusit sa rezolv problema cu navigatia la un bmw e 90 multumesc inca o data .

Thank you so much saved me $$$ did it and so far so good

Thank you from Poland! 😉

Going to do this at the weekend, great tutorial, is there value in removing the chip to ensure good contacts or is that a layer of complexity thats usually unnecessary ?

thank you very much! I will try this on my CCC ( frozen on BMW logo) X5 e70 (y)

Thank you is works 100% Great fix

Hi the radio works thank you!!!

Awesome ,, now I can do it myself next time

Thanks you my friend for sharing this

Thank you so much, very useful video.

Thank u, this has brought my ccc back to life ! Drink a beer from me :-)

Dziękuję za instrukcję. Pozdrawiam z Polski Thanks for the instruction. Greetings from Poland

Twój sposób naprawdę działa. Dziękuję, że się podzieliłeś wiedzą. Ja zrobiłem tak.... Najpierw pojedyńczo używając RF800 i hotair ustawiony na 180 wygrzewałem te mniejsze chipy. Nakładalem topnik przechylajac płytke i grzałem do 245-250C mierzac temperatury na powierzchni elementów i tak każdy po kolei jak Ty. Na koniec ten najwiekszy po drugiej stronie tez najpierw smarujac topnikiem tak aby przelać pod całością. Teraz temperatury na zewnatrz po 30'C a CCC działa.

Great video, thanks for sharing, you are a genius ! Is the Flux from Rothenberger DIN EN 29454.1, 3.1.1.A also good for this work ?

Hi, thank you very much for this video! Do you think that there is no risk to heat the components at +150°C? Thanks

Hello, it is possible to provide the power supply scheme for the monitor for the R56 radio, I need to test it on the bench. You also need a signal to call right?

Great video, can't seem to find what you're using. Is it an electrical circuit repair adhesive or would any glue work

Hey thanks for good Information I"m going to try to do it on mine and I hope am lucky. 😄

Great video. Thank you for your effort. I had the problem with the constant restarting of the device. With your help, I was able to fix the issue. Finally, I always have a picture. However, I noticed that my FM, AM, CD, and AUX are grayed out and not selectable. In response to a comment from a viewer, you wrote that it might be the optical cable. So, I opened the device again and checked the cables, but all without success. What else could I do?

Thank you, it has worked:))))

Nice to see Werner Herzog doing DYI tutorials. A week after spending good money on body work and a detail job to make it look brand new, my '06 iDrive screen went blank with the white flash every half minute. I can't tell you how excited I just got finding this video. While I've resurrected a dead MacBook Pro and LG TV by "baking" their logic boards in my oven, I don't have flux, a heat gun, your vice grip, or a contactless thermometer (I do have a hair dryer), to attempt this. What are your thoughts on placing the logic board on cardboard and baking it in the oven at 350F for about 10 minutes? Thank you in advanced!

Awesome Video man, Really Appreciate it as I'll be Trying this Fix. My CCC doesnt turn on at all, Aswell as the Monitor and Monitor LED doesnt come on Either, Although the Lights in the Unit come on with the Interior Lights. Any Advice?

Thank you for your video, very helpful. I'm a bit confused about the fan. How do you get it to stay on please?

Hi. Thanks for a great tutorial! I did exactly as you showed and it has definitely solved the rebooting problem. But now I have no sound from any source. Not the warning gong or navigation voice. The sources (fm,am,cd,aux) under entertainment are grayed out and not clickable. Any thoughts on what I’ve missed?

Thanks a million

Thanks 🙏

Hi there, great video. I have a 2006 530i and the CCC tries to boot up, then the screen flickers white for 1 second, then goes black. It continues to do this without starting. The idrive control spins freely, and I’ve lost audible sounds from parking sensors. I’m going to try the fix, but I have a question. Can the fibre optic cable be the problem too? Can it be repaired? I’m in Canada and don’t know if any local stores sell the same flux you used, and also would like a recommendation on the heat gun type Thanks

Hello, thank you for having such a great video, I’m currently in process of repairing mine, and I noticed that from the 6 smaller chips, two closer to the centere of the board are missing (just two empty slots where they’re supposed to be), do you know the reason? Or if that’s normal?

Hi, I'd like to try this, how high did you set the hot air gun? At how many degrees? Thanks in advance about your answer

Awesome video I literally have the ccc Professional disassembled in front of me ... I want to try the trick to hock up the Fan ... In the Diagram shows that Cabel number 15 is the 12v+ Should i take the red cabel from the fan and hock up directly to the red cabel of the Power supply of the ccc ? Appreciate your answer !

Thanks for the video -very helpful. Would same apply to CIC units? Mine just came up with red screen and keeps rebooting. Thanks

Hallo perfecte begeleiding radio en navi doen het weer

Hello watching this video I have noticed that my board is slightly different from the one you are currently working on. I have an 07 335xi with the CCC unit but doesn't have the ram chip that you took off the board towards the start of the video and it doesnt have the chip that you first reflowed. Plus when you flip the board over to reflow the 6 chips on the back my isn't in that lay out. My car was one of the first ones off the floor in 07 so the BMW may have used a different one. Is there any way you could point me in the direction which ones to reflow? I'm boot looping with lines on the left hand side of the screen sometimes. So pretty sure reflowing will do the trick just need to know witch ones to reflow. Thanks, Justin, McGee

Is it necessary to have a heat air solder? Or can i carefully do it with a standard solder pen? With flux ofcourse

I'm also interested in running the fan with key on. There are 3 wires black, red and yellow. Which one should get the key on power?

Hi, this video is very helpful. However the CCC on my E87 is only working 60% of the time and the rest is frozen to the BMW logo. Is this the only possible problem it can have or there is some other potential issues that won't be fixed with this method? Thanks you.

Thanks for the video I'm about to try it, would like to test the fan, I have the wires yellow red brown that go to the fan, can you tell me which two wires I need and how much voltage the fan needs?

Wow, I ha e been waiting for an awesome video like this….is the flux kester 951?

Hi, great video! One question Should the flux be water based or rosin based liquid flux is also ok? I`m not strong in that.

Is the time you heated it in the video enough for the fix? I did the procedure in sync with your video, upon installation my screen only flashes in one color now. Before it was restarting and showing vertical lines.

could you fit a small heat sink to the bga chip?

Thanks for the interesting how to. My screen has lost its red colour, so something broken with RGB circuit? I replaced the screen with a brand new OEM Sharp and it didn’t solve it. You say you been doing this for a while - have you seen colour failures, if so do you know which component I could try reflowing or some other suggestion? Thanks.

Great video, i have 2008 x5 e70 , the navigation screen doesn't come on anymore..it stopped when it was very cold than it worked again on and off for a few months,, bought new screen but nothing? Fuses ok.. radio doesn't work either but other heating amd ac works..i guess CCC issue..any ideas would be appreciated.. thank you

loved you in money heist bro. Do i need to heat up the silver bga chip or just the ones you did? and is it the same temp for the other chips as the cpu 370c? thanks.

Thank you for this video post. I am having issues with my x5 in which the screen turns blue and characters start flying on the screen until it reboots and the radio starts working. However, the CD/Bluetooth/GPS no longer works. Will this method work to bring all those back to life ? Let me know and thanks again for the very informative video. Thanks

Hello, I was doing the repair and the fiber optic connector to the circuit board broke. Any thoughts on repairing the plastic piece that holds it tight. So frustrating. Will that make the screen dead?

How about disconnecting and removing the cd and dvd drives altogether?

Worked amazingly I completely destroyed my ccc unit 😂🤣

Can you swap that circuit board from another ccc? Awesome informaction

Hello thanks to you the radio works good again, i have a question can you tell me how i can make the fan work when i start the car so it always cools?

So I did as you suggested and it worked but started to reboot and flicker as the weather became warmer outside. Seems to be too hot in the radio bay … when it gets cold at might or over night it works fine but as soon as outside weather warms up … that’s it! Would there be any replacement I can buy aftermarket or is there anyone who I could send the motherboard too for a more permanent repair that is not so expensive ????

Caro "PS" Muito obrigado pela partilha deste video, ajudou imenso e estou com o mesmo problema, no entanto sou leigo demais para me aventurar a tanto! Gostaria de saber se tem disponibilidade para fazer esta reparação no meu, claro €€€. Ou no caso de de nao poder, se poderia recomendar me alguem... Muito obrigado mesmo, é de Gênio Cumprimentos Miguel V.

Interesting. My CCC unit is drawing 1.2 amps when the car is off. I pulled fuse number 37 (glove box) and current draw went down to 20 milliamps. Apparently fuse 37 powers the CCC unit only. Do you have any fix for that? Thanks in advance

I was told that rebot problem are caused by faulty capacitors 3x 3300nF and 1x 1000nF . They are advertised on e- bay as rapair kit for that problem. Can you advised me what they are for ? Best regards

Hello do you except to fix the CCC Navi ? if you have a shop as i assume please refer it to us thanks

Hi, I had a boot loop issue and after trying to reflow just like you had shown in the video and reconnecting it to a car it worked for a few boots but now it is stuck on bmw logo (not rebooting but on all the time). Could it be because I did reflowing incorrectly or maybe there is another problem? Thank you in advance

Hi, witch ones pins should i use , that fan will work all the time when the radio is on ? E60 lci

My ccc unit is different in my e70 i dont have the same chips so what do i heat up?

Thank you sir, my BMW f10 520d 2014 have a problem I don't know if is the ccc or the screen or my drive controller, on my case the radio is working but I can't change to other channel, second my screen is switch off I can't see nothing on my screen is all black. Please can you help me to find ou what's causing that. Thank you!

Hello and thanks very much for your sharing ! I do thé tuto but after 1 week the restart come back, do you have any solution or suggestion please. Thank you

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I got a weird one for you! 2004 e60 with ccc drive with professional sat nav. 1. If I unlock my doors and straight away start my car then most of the time the bmw logo keeps coming up and it just keeps rebooting for about 15 mins or so. 2. But I found that when I unlock my car and put the key and then get to ignition, but wait for 10 seconds and then start the car, then the I drive works perfectly. I have been doing this now for the last two years. Does this make any sense to you and will your repair fix my problem as well? I should also state that the sat nav doesn’t work anymore which I assume the DVD drive has failed. I would appreciate your views

If I were to replace the whole circuit board to one I found in a junkyard would I still have to get the ccc recoded?

Hello, thanks for all the information, the ccc works again! Only one thing: it only recognizes the cd player. So no fm radio or aux. Do you maybe know what could be wrong?

Hi. How can i plug in the FAN into the CCC unit? I have a facelift small 6.5 mask2 in my car =small ccc, and i have bought a big screen and new ccc unit for it. My car doesnt have the wiring for the fan, where can i buy it or how to do it?

what was the name of the bottle you used to put onto the chips and stuff ?

UK use Celsius also.

Hi there! Thanks for the video man. :) I have the CCC Professional System and did what you did to the 3 chips that were there. No more chips on the backside. I accidently had 190°C on one of the processors - is that an issue? Because now my screen is just black and it won't start at all. Before, i had bootloops but at least my rear parking help was still active, but now theres nothing. Did I miss anything or even mde it defect? Thankful for a reply!

Sir on this CIC when we dont have GPS signal is from which electronic circuit it can be please ? (cable and antenna are good is from the CIC)
