AUX CABLE INSTALL + CODING BMW 5 SERIES E60/E61 *DIY/HOW TO*

[@FuelledLife]

Restoration is underway! Hope this helps any fellow BMW saver. ☁️💡 Any questions about tackling yourself, let me know.

[@xnorsx]

Nice guide, if someone not like to use manual coding in notepad, you can also use NCS Dummy, witch is made it for that kind of job. In 5:51 where's Mask ecu has read, just open Ncs Dummy, select Chassis (E60 for that car), see in Ncs Expert module name, for example, in video is MASK_E60.C08, next Browse C:\NCSEXPER\WORK\FSW_PSW.TRC, scroll down find AUX like AUX_IN and tap the aux checkbox to on. On bottom find Export FSW/PSW, and click first option. Close the Dummy, when prompt comes in, press CANCEL not OK. Next in Ncs Expert, change job and execute ecu, like in 8:21. In Dummy not change anything else if you do not know what are you doing.

Nice, thanks. I have to try this. I have a 2010 with a mask unit and aux is not working. It just says AUX on my input selection, it doesn't say AUX(audio), I wonder if there's a difference.

[@FuelledLife]

Hi Nick, don’t think there is as my lci cars just have Aux on the iDrive. When you say it’s not working, is it greyed out or can you select it and you get no sound?

[@_jovian]

@@FuelledLife nah it’s not grayed out, it’s white and you can see the like click animation when Try to select it, but it just will just remain on the fm radio and not switch to AUX, I check the cars file too and it’s set to aux aktiv

I've got a '53 plate E60. It's so old it must have been bumper-to-bumper with the last of the E39s going down the line.

[@FuelledLife]

I had an old 53 plate 530d e60 manual. I got it as it had no DPF, (downturned exhaust pipes). They were literally the change over year from the e39. 👍

[@xwu8147]

Great video! Would the procedure be the same for a 2005 E87 (MASK/CCC) without screen?

[@FuelledLife]

It is the same procedure as on the screen versions. Same MOST system so the cables/pins are the same. Then you just need to code the HU. Thanks for watching! 👍

is this car model same with BMW 520i? and E60? i got this old car from Korea for my trainning drive trying to install aux in this car is this sollution doesnt need soldering iron? just buy that cable 16:04 and connect to behind of the car audio?

[@MrDanilo11]

Will that coding process work on a 2008 5 series with aux already installed? The aux worked just fine but it is now greeted out and cannot select it.

[@FuelledLife]

It sounds to me there is either a cable break between your aux jack - head unit or for some reason your VO has forgotten or lost its aux option. I would check both. It would work but it only adds it. If it’s greyed out, it probably can’t see a connection. Not 100% sure.

Hey man I saw this video and it looks pretty simple to do. My issue is I have the aux but it is greyed out and I cannot select it. I bought this bmw 328xi 07 but the ccc was dead so I replaced it with one from a e60. I found somebody that does this coding but he wants anywhere from 100-150$ to fix my aux… should I just buy a laptop instead and do this myself ? The software you use is all free correct ? I can buy a laptop for 60$. Should I tackle this alone or just pay up to somebody that knows what there doing thank you

I would do it yourself to be honest, its relatively inexpensive. Just give me a shout if you need further assistance on getting it set up.

How do you download or get those two progams on your MAC? And where do you get the cable needed to connect from laptop to car? Why don’t you show how you hooked up the computer to the car? I just need to know what cable is needed, thanks

[@FuelledLife]

So boot camp is a standard program on mac that enables you to load a windows OS onto your Mac. Found in applications - utilities. Cable was a generic K-can/d-can cable off of ebay. In terms of hooking it up to the car, it plugs into the OBD port and then into your USB port. Then you open up INPA and then ISTA. See link below for the cable I use and Bimmerfest has a wealth of info on all of this. I’ll do my best to answer any more questions. I will try and make a video on how to install these programs this month. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-K-DCAN-Cable-With-Switch-Button-Works-With-BMW-From-2007-2022-/144432238552?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
