He was tried to bypass the system's display rejection, with the "OK continue update anyway" path, but he had no luck with my monitor, but he did had luck with the loaner's monitor, because system rejected and the loaner's monitor also, but accepted it with the "continue update anyway" command. Crazy things
Loaner's monitor was part# 65 82 6 938 108

A problem on future updates, that's for sure, so I will ask Amador to exchange it, with a compatible, or "semi-compatible" one, to CCC.

My CCC is the newest part number available by BMW, compatible to all E60 models, manufactured on year 2006. Part# 65 83 6 987 689

My CID is manufactured on year 2004 and is not compatible to the above CCC, but functions perfectly (update was continued using a compatible CID only). Part# 65 83 6 957 343
Hi,

Do you have a part # and manufacture date for both the CCC and 8,8" monitor that are installed in your E60, I'd like to compare mine against yours?

Also, when was your E60 manufactured, you can check by putting the last 7 digits of your VIN # into this link. (mine is CM171??)

I checked, my CCC is compatible with all E60 models from 03 until 06 and from model 520i until M5.
My CID is Alpine, as well, but VDOs are more compatible (I think)

My part numbers are described in the post above

Car is built on 07/2003

Hey guys,

I've been following this post for a while. Thanks for a place to purchase the navigation. I visited Amador143 ebay store and found this for sale. How can I tell if it will work in my e60? I have a 2004 525i. Here is the link. Any help is appreciated:

Ebay navigation

If this will work in my unit, I will buy it immediatly. Thanks in advance.
BOBCRUZ, call BMWNA or a BMW parts department with your VIN number and they can tell you if your car has NAV Prep. I think the option is called 6UA or something like that. Hope this helps. Take a look here http://forums.e60.net/index.php?act=findpost&pid=62185

Thanks JTB. I called BMW NA, not opened today. Will call Monday. Called dealer too, they have no idea what they are talking about.Fortunately, I had the retrofit bulletin by my side a long with this thread. This forum is worth every penny

Looks like this Nav Retrofit is very complicated (complications involving software upgrades in future) and expensiveeee dealer visits

WOW WOW, HEHE, I fixed the audio problem, it took me the whole day today, Haha!!

My CCC in pieces. The problem was at the DSP board (de-soldered contacts) where it connects to the amplifier part.

Hi Nick,

Congratulations, well done, looks like a dry solder joint. I'm trying to workout if it's something I'd do, I'll tackle almost anything. Unfortunately, it does appear that some of the parts on eBay may be defective.

Did you get your CCC fan working?

Also, can you please let me know if Arek will replace your 8'8" monitor with a compatible one so that you can Progman update at any time when required.
