530iM

Hi all

I have a 2003 bmw 530i it came with the normal business Satnav but i wanted the professional for its better big screen , better satnav , mp3 playback etc etc
so I went out and brought one from a scrap yard it came with a module the screen the dvd/cd player and the idrive wheel (off a 05/06 car i think) but when i put all the parts in the screen does not come on but it still plays cd dvd radio etc
When i turn the car on the screen flickers but then goes blank not sure what i have done wrong


please help

you need a different cable from the ccc to the monitor than the m-ask, you also need a fan wiring harness. search the parts/accessories/mods forum for the official retrofit .pdf, that will detail the wiring changes.

I went from NO nav to professional using those instructions.

you need to repreograme the ccc

530iM

How do I do that

yes, you can buy the cables separately, these are the part #s:
61 12 0 393 735 "navigation wiring harness"
61 12 0 396 159 "retrofit wiring harness, svs" <- only need this one if you're doing the voice recognition too
61 12 0 396 722 "wiring harness, fan"

only the dealer (or a really good independent) can reprogram the CCC, as the car has to be plugged in to a computer running BMW software to do so. Good luck- sometimes even with functioning equipment the computer will say "no, you need to replace that perfectly functional monitor before I can continue."

It also says in the pdf that the gprs aerial hands free microphone etc do i need them to get the nav to work??

also will i need the socket casing and cover caps (if you look at the pfd http://forums.e60.net/index.php?act=attach...st&id=37169 Letter P and Q in the parts list)


Thanks

P and Q come in the boxes for the part #s I gave you. Since my car is a US car, I already had a GPS aerial in the shark fin for the BMW Assist, so I just disconnected the cable that goes to the assist and ran a new antenna wire from there to the dash, as is shown in the retrofit PDF. Once the car is coded, the assist module is smart enough to get the GPS coordinates from the CCC instead of the GPS aerial.

the hands free microphone is necessary if you want voice recognition. if you don't, you don't need it.

Hi all still trying to put this in my car taking to a guy in Birmingham to be coded but he told me that an 2006 pro nav cannot be coded to work in a 2003 car is this true???

You must have spoken with Jason at navtvman? He told me the same thing but he uses BMW software rather than Autologic. Have you tried turning the LVDS cable that plugs into the CCC unit the other way. I'm sure you have plugged it in wrong, thats why you have no images

530iM

Yeah thats the guys lol I don't understand why it wont work maybe he wants me to buy a new pro nav from them maybe they make more money that way?

have you got a 06 pro nav in your car how did you get it to work? What guys did you take it to code ?

I think its in the right way i'll have a look

thanks
