BMW E60 Optic Fibre network problem. Fault finding and repair.

[@espperre]

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!

@@espperre Wait... so if you had to reconnect the old CD changer in order to fix the problem... how do you install a new radio in it's spot?

[@espperre]

@@litigious It wasn’t a radio. It was something that was going to mirror my iPhone to my nav screen. Ended up going an entirely different and much better route with BimmerTech’s Vividscreen like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX2xnpaah7ypi8U

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

[@LMAutoRepairs]

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, thanks for sharing the video I do have one question, I have an 2004 E60 it's a 545i, sometime ago the screen on the navigation system turns off and on only showing the BMW logo and it sounds like it keeps rebooting so the radio does not work or navigation or anything. Some times the radio comes on and everything works fine but then there's other times when it does not work at all do you know what may be causing this problem?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

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... Disconnect it and put a optic loop on the optic cable, to bypass that module... if the problem goes away... you found the issue... if not, you might have a bad CCC... Hope that helps...

[@drivewasher]

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?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

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!

Do you have a link for the connectors?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Check ebay... I believe I got them from there... 👍👍👍

[@TheAutumnWind_RN4L]

@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]

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... 👍👍👍

[@TheAutumnWind_RN4L]

@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.

I can hear the person on the other end perfectly well - they cant hear me so well - Is there a quick fix to this or do i have to take it into a garage? Thanks .

[@LMAutoRepairs]

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!

Hi I have a bmw e60 2005 with professional media. My Bluetooth connects my phone but there's no sound from the car speakers. Also when you choose communications it just keeps saying please wait and won't get info from the phone. It used to work but just stopped any ideas please.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Asif Munshi Hi It stopped working while using the same phone or have you changed you phone? Have you had the car scanned? Thank you for watching!

[@asifmunshi812]

It stopped working with same phone and since then I've tried different phones they all connect but don't get any sound from car speakers. I've also noticed I don't get the telephone signal strength icons on the idrive screen.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Asif Munshi Have the car scanned first... The phone module on the E60 are prone to fail... so you might be suffering from that issue...

[@asifmunshi812]

I tried replacing the mulf unit in the boot ( Bluetooth module) and it was doing the same thing. Any other suggestions please

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Asif Munshi Have you tried another phone?

[@brettbaker2091]

I’ve got no red light on any connection

[@LMAutoRepairs]

In that case you either have a break on the optic cable or an issue with another one of the modules in the loop... Thank you for watching!

[@brettbaker2091]

LM Auto Repairs radio won’t turn on is that start of problem

[@LMAutoRepairs]

@@brettbaker2091 Well... is definitely one of your problems... And will obviously interrupt the optical ring...

[@1bad335ii]

Did you fix it ? I have no power also in my fiber optic

[@imadabed9823]

Hi, i bought BMW e91 touring 2006 the navigation always says ” please insert Dvd map” in same time I can’t insert the Dvd navigation so today I removed the Dvd navigation unit and i saw the optical fiber not flashing red light ?? can you tell me exactly what is the problem ?? And from which place I should to start searching. Thanks

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Imad Abed Hi Is the red led on on the navigation drive? As I have explained, you need to go and check the next node... see if the unit is working, and check the optic cable...

[@imadabed9823]

Thank you for quick answering, behind the DVD navigation unit I removed the cables and their is optical fiber wire not flashing in same time I checked the optical fiber wire in the cd changers in the trunk its flashing and also i have under the driver's steering wheel fiber optics loop connector it's red flashing.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Imad Abed OK So if the one of the cables is not illuminated behind the nav drive, one of the two... Or you have a break on the cable, or there is a module in between that is not working... Make sense?

[@imadabed9823]

How can I check the problem I mean which place I should to start.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Imad Abed As I have explained, the option fibre network is a loop, that goes around all modules connected to it. First establish how many modules you have connected, you already know that you have the fibre working OK on some points, expose all the other modules and see on with one the fibre is broken... or which one does not have the optical working...

Olá amigo, otimos vídeos com boas dicas, gostava de ter uma opinião se for possível, estou com um problema no meu E60 de 2005 o módulo mulf avariou, consegui arranjar um usado mas é mais recente o mulf2 será que se consegue por a funcionar? quais são os passos que devo fazer, basta actualizar a mask? ainda não tentei fazer nada até ter mais informações, fico mesmo grato se puder ajudar, obrigado

[@LMAutoRepairs]

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...

[@mendes57100]

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? Tenho a string 644 para o mulf antigo, pelo que pesquisei para o mulf2 tenho de adicionar o 6FL mas pelo que entendo isso é só porque tem USB... como faço para saber qual é o VO do módulo?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Lol... "...não está fácil até parece que as pessoas têm "medo" de falar sobre isto como se fosse um segredo...enfim... " Ora bem... aqui não há segredos... :-) Nem todas as interfaces dão para ver o VO... O ideal era arranjar um cabo para trabalhar com o NCS... O processo é idêntico a este... kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4TWkJKco6tpqLM Mais alguma coisa, disponha...

[@mendes57100]

Digo isso porque se tentar pedir ajuda em algum forum sobre este assunto não obtenho nenhuma resposta... cabo e software já tenho só me falta saber o procedimento..neste momento se tentar aceder ao módulo dá um erro porque não tenho o VO para mulf2.. nesse video explica como alterar VO e code mas não há maneira de saber qual a string correcta de um módulo para adicionar no VO. Obrigado

[@LMAutoRepairs]

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. Se não quiseres codificar o carro todo, codifica manualmente os modulos... De qualquer forma deverias conseguir aceder ao mulf... mesmo que não codificado... Mas faz isso primeiro...

Hey i have a question

[@LMAutoRepairs]

choc860 Go ahead...

[@choc860]

Can i change my mask to ccc?

[@choc860]

And do you know the things i need

[@LMAutoRepairs]

choc860 Hi Yes you can... You need the CCC and then get it coded/programmed.... With the CCC I would also get the larger screen, in case you have the smaller one... Hope that helps.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

choc860 Forgot about it... You will also need the GPS antenna... if you want it to work...

[@keenanrochester2504]

Need help I have BMW 530i E60 I checked ccc and Blue tooth, cabin filter compartment all wires look good all fuses work, no water damage no rust no corrosion, I bought the fiber optic loops male and female troubleshoot and nothing works radio don't work navigation screen is completely black no door chimes car won't start, I did not try battery cables yet but they look good too, can someone help me

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Keenan Rochester Hi If the car doesn't start then I wouldn't start with that... and I doubt that the optic network would have anything to do with it... Have you attempted to scan the car? Thank you for watching!

[@keenanrochester2504]

LM Auto Repairs it did start, it was running fine just didn't have navigation and radio working, I was starting the car and the at the same time my son open his passenger door all the light started flashing and car stalled and would not restart, I checked the battery it was strong

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Keenan Rochester Close the passenger door... done!😉 Now seriously, the door thing might have been a coincidence... You are working blind without a scanner... and perhaps look at live data etc...

[@colinlyne1660]

Hi Imsvvavr how many systems/modules use the fibre optic option in this E60

[@LMAutoRepairs]

colin Lyne Difficult from the top of my head... But, all the media/entertainment modules are on one of the fibre optics. So on that one depends on the car options... On the safety network, it is all the safety modules... but once again, I am not sure how many ... sorry..

[@tuanvu-kc6st]

Hi, my ccc still reboot, is the ccc module broken or is it a broken loop in one of the modules that's make the ccc module reboot.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

danny Wu Hi That is usually the CCC itself...

[@tuanvu-kc6st]

Hi lmsvvavr, thanks for reply. i just unplug the most cable from the mulf and the ccc still doing strange. When I unplugged all of the cable (3) from the mulf the ccc works perfect he don't reboot anymore. Do you think that the mulf is broken? Now I don't have any sound even don't warning sound. I have logic 7

[@LMAutoRepairs]

danny Wu Ok... so it might be the logic 7... If you unplug logic 7 and leave the mulf, how does the ccc behaves? Have scanned the car?

Hello there i have a bmw 325i e90 2006 and my car had a short so what happened i got a sub install in the back and everything was fine but something happened to the remote wire going to sub and there was a short i am thinking and some smoke came out and i turned car off right away and remove negative post. So i remove the rear seats and i noticed it melted some green wires in a loop two wires and do u have info what can it be i have part number and looked it up and i am told its for SOS' bluetooth and Microphone i wanted to be sure im glad it was minimal but want to make sure though. The green wire is optic fiber . I want to repair it i will buy the quick connectors. I asked a friend and he sayed that butt connectors should be fine but high quality with good insulation and clamp down really good for signal/data to pass. Let me know please thanks 14523661

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Hi You don't really crimp optic cables... If burned, see if you have enough to cut the damaged area, and connect it again, otherwise buy some optic cable and replace the affected extension of the cable... There is some repair kits out there... Just go on eBay... you can find everything you need for that in there.... Hope that helps. Thank you for watching and for your comment!

Hi, Can I ask where are you based as I have the same issue in my BMW E60 2005. I definitely need help with installation of the dension 500S BT kit. If you can kindly provide your email so I can get your contact no. Really appreciate it. Thanks

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Saqib Khan Hi First, thanks for watching! For reasons that you might understand, I will not be sharing my email here... As far as I am aware, the dension replaces the CD changer... and it comes all with instructions... where do you think you will need help?

[@SaqibKhan-vk6yn]

I,m the second owner of the car and first owner has mixed up the fibre optic cables to fit some external system which he removed before selling off the car. I fibre optic lights up behind the headunit but doesn't lights up in the glove box extension. Somewhere link is broken. First owner also removed the cd chamger which i ordered and received now. My local audio specialits have never set dension and hence doubtful that they will be of any help. Let me know how can i bring my car to you. Thanks

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Saqib Khan That's the problem... I am a bit far from you... Cambridgeshire... Because I do this as a part time, means you would have to drop the car an leave it until I have it done... and due to my work pattern, and the the weather, could mean 2 or 3 weeks... or even more... and if the optics have been messed with... well you can imagine... To be honest, I can't do it at the moment anyway, I have an S class and a 730d in the drive way, and 3 others in line... I would love to help you... sorry... Surely there is some one in the area that can do it for you... But, hey, why you don't have a go at it?

Hi. I own a BMW E90 with bluetooth from factory and I'm not getting any fiber optic signal. The mulf isn't getting any signal and the loop under the steering wheel isn't getting signal too. What should I do?

Check which module is failing... or if any of the optics are disconnected or damaged.. Thank you for watching!
