E60 “Service Requirements” gone from iDrive
Hi all,
I’ve owned my 2003 E60 530i SE Auto for about 2.5 years now. I’ve carried out a few changes in that time including retrofitting the big screen display and CCC unit. It’s been in and working for probably a year or so but recently the service requirements menu has become greyed out and isn’t selectable.
Can any of you advise on this? I have NCS and so on to do any coding and I’m fairly confident with carrying out such jobs. I’ve made some small coding changes for my lights but I haven’t touched the CCC yet.

That's odd. I would try recoding the CCC. I would first take a copy of the current coding, then flash it with a blank FSW_PSW file. If the menu returns, I would then flash back your original file.

It didn’t solve the issue I’m having though. The service requirements part is still greyed out and not selectable. It’s a bit like enabling DAB and not having the module installed.

So I’ve flashed it with a blank file which has made no difference. The menu is still not selectable.
Is this linked to another ECU perhaps?

I read somewhere once that it is also stored somewhere else for redundancy in case the CCC or whatever unit you have needs to be replaced. I’m not certain of where but would guess DME or KOMBI. But I would think it wouldn’t be blank...

The DME is one place I haven’t looked, I’ll give that a go. Thanks guys!
