iCharles great DIY guide !! have also found an instruction Pdf with some drawings (see attached)

i am doing the retrofit this WE and am still puzzled with this part :

For cars built before 09/2004 only:
Disconnect plug X10318 from the CAS control module. Connect the navigation system cable V to PIN 31, BR/RT cable, using a miniature connector.

Will surely find the CAS module and plan to plug a 0.3mm cable and plug it back into X13814 pin 12 do you guys think this will fit ? as I don't have a full retrofit kit so am unable to see what this "Navigation system wiring harness" looks like apart from a normal cable.

Also will build a "Voice control wiring harness" and buy the microphone from BMW today (well will order it and will install it later)

Also can anyone help on this :

Am in London UK, anybody knows an affordable progman/Autollogic garage in East/north London that would reprogram the new CCC ?
Totally out of subject : is there a BMW TPMS system module that could be retrofit on a 06/2004 E61 ? (As I can see many of these TPMS stems on ebay)
Is there a PDF retrofit for MULF2 ? (seems I have no Microphone in the microphone trim nor a bluetooth module)

Thanks all for your help

Try A1BM for the coding work....just outside the M25 up the A1M

Thanks for that but seems coding is not available on saturdays at A1BM.

Anyhow seems there is no need for recoding on my unit, all works great, am amazed !!
Took me 1h45 and the worst part was removing the Idrive. I quickly decided to remove the whole element in order to access these damn screws The guy that designed this Idrive assembly is nuts !
Took out the small edges on the LVDS in order to match the new assembly and used homemade connectors for the leads, no need to order that at the dealer then !
Have ordered though the trim to fit the new double DVD/CD CCC module (29? for my basic silver trim, damn cheap !!!)

Thanks all for your help guys !!!! special thank to BenAnd and Dr Dave !

My next project is HUD (Head's up display) retrofit and Bluetooth retrofit, if anyone hears of a UK HUD unit am interested, saw many go for 100-150? in ebay but seems none is UK and am afraid that (as Dr Dave mentioned) the fitting and adjustment won't be compatible with the UK model.

Some questions if anyone can help :

Is there a Brakers website that aggregates all BMW currently being braked, am tired of going through google to find all the UK brakers.

And also, where can I find a DIY guide for Bluetooth (MULF2) retrofit ? have seen some posts but none is accurate enough IMHO

Cheers All

If you want to retrofit other electrical stuff and actually activate them, it might get a bit difficult without recoding the ccc properly. I don't know about the Autologic software, but if you want to do it at BMW you will have to take off the new ccc and display to get the progman updated first (before retrofitting again and retrofit coding) - but you probably already know this.

I don't get it why people don't do it right the first time around - this topic has been covered so many times on this forum. The car is pretty damn expensive, so why try save a couple of hundred $/€/pounds by not doing the retrofit coding properly? Of course if Autologic can do this stuff in a more advanced way, compared to BMW, there's no probem.

These things usually come from European cars, mine for example had address from Bavaria, Germany stored in the address book. So naturally this navigation speaks German which for me is not a problem because I live there half the year, but for most will have to be coded. (I will have to change this to sell the car)

Mine's a Bavaria car, but I managed to change not only the text menus to English, but also the navigation spoken instructions in English also. The only thing I couldn't change to English is the Voice-command system.
