This car went from being hailed as the ugliest BMW to ever exist, mostly due to the prominent "Bangle butt", to people calling it "beautiful". I've had 3 three series so far and had planned to get another one but I came across a 2005 545i with low miles that was a steal so I bought it. It has the M sport package and someone also put some coilovers on it. It's not slammed and the ride quality is still pretty good. I have to say though that I still think they're ugly as sin. Maybe I'm biased because I think that outside of any M5 a 2002 E39 540i is peak 5 series as far as looks go. That shape will never age. That's what I call beautiful. People want too much for them though so E60 for me. I have to admit the V8 is pretty great so far. Oh they also put an exhaust on it and it really, really sounds good. I'm glad I got to experience a BMW V8. It's very smooth and I've managed to coax 19mpg out of it which isn't too bad. Get one of these while they're cheap because they're probably at the bottom of their depreciation curve right now.

I don't know how to DM you, but I have an extra USB HUB bypass FAKRA cable so you can get your iPhone4s to work on this COMBOX retrofit. I got mine to work finally! Accessing the front USB HUB module is very easy. It takes just 10 minutes to get the front seat unbolted and then you just lean it back. Next you unscrew the subwoofer screen. Then you just pull up the carpet to expose the white plastic-cover for the USB HUB. You can do this very easily! Then of course, you know the coding aspect as well as the CIC headunit wiring. Let me know if you're interested.

@@Fancy669 Yes, as long as you have the navigation antenna which every car with navigation should. Most likely if you have MASK (only in Europe for E9x), then you have the more basic Business Navigation which is option code $606A. So you need to delete $606A and add $609. All CICs (at least from North American E9x cars) will have Navigation Professional.

Can you explain exactly which code responsible for the sound or you just you change your build date
@bmwdiy2 ай бұрын
You change the build date in order to access the CIC module since the earliest model year for E9x cars with CIC was 2009. Then you have to code the CIC to your VIN which has your option list including the option code for your car's sound system option. If you don't have sound right away, it is because the car the CIC came from had a different sound system option than yours. In my case the CIC came from a car with no Logic 7 and my E93 has Logic 7. No big deal. Just follow the steps in the video at 20:20. Once you read your car's VIN, it will show you a list of all the options your car has. The option code for Logic 7 is $677 if your car has that, but you are going to want more than just sound. Bluetooth, PDC, DVD video playback, etc.

If your car didn't come with the armrest USB Audio from factory you could order the cable and port in the link below. It connects to the blue or black port on the Combox. It’s a lot of work to bring it to the armrest. I would just leave it in the trunk and connect a USB stick with all your music to it. This way you get album art and navigating your music from the Combox USB port is much better than through the CIC hard drive via the glove box USB port. You also need to add $6FL to the vehicle order when coding the Combox which is the option code for USB audio. www.amazon.com/Switch-Connecting-Harness-Compatible-Vehicle/dp/B0843C323S

They are interchangeable. Try to look for the latest build date so you are more likely to find one with the latest C1A software update so you should have no issue coding the navigation. You can see the build date right above the part number.

@bmwdiy3 ай бұрын
@@mR_Reddexe iOS 9 actually makes the video out feature better since it shows the aspect ratio of the video correctly the first time when selecting the video with the Idrive controller. In iOS 6, you have to re-select the video from the actual iPhone to get the correct aspect ratio, however you do have the ability to use personal hotspot from a newer iPhone to watch KZbin since the KZbin app still works on the iPhone 4S on iOS 6 (at least it still did when I did this project in 2020). Are you sure you pushed the pins in all the way when connecting them to the AUX port in the armrest? You should hear a clicking sound to know they are firmly secure. Try putting the clear wire into slot 3 on the AUX port, but I remember it worked without having to do that. Also, try coding the COMBOX as well for CDMM_USB_VIDEO both. The ECU for COMBOX is MEDIA. Also, one more important thing! Are you doing this project on an E60? If so, make sure the USB cable from the armrest USB port goes directly into the COMBOX. Make sure it doesn't pass through the USB hub that was fitted to these E60s that had a MULF unit. That USB hub becomes useless once you get the COMBOX. You will know if there is a direct connection from the armrest USB port to the COMBOX if the album art from your iPhone music app loads quickly in only a few seconds instead of 14 seconds for each song! Hope that helps. Let me know if you get it to work.
