My Ride: Gone Waiting
Hi,
Just been to the dealer and connect the aux input . The did not try the ipod as they did not have one.When i am back home i try my ipod and no sound is coming out from the speakers.
I call the dealer and the garage manager told me that he has to invert the wiring of the aux input as he may be set the wiring for Japanese version.
Any idea for this.
Can i invert the wiring myself. The aux in on my idrive screen already. Any one got this problem?

any chance of coding the AUX without the dealer visit? I guess not so....
I will have the install done by a friend with some more mods but the visit to the dealer for the AUX coding is annoing. I wish some magic I-drive moves would be good enough.
anyone?

Very frequent occurance. If not too much trouble for u have the dealer do it. That way u are clear of any liability for "messing up"

ther have been lots of posts recently regarding the issue of fitting the aux input.
in your case the dealer tech placed the wires 3 incorrectly i presume common mistake,on the other hand could be a more complex problem with the ccc.
in any case the programming and fitment should be carried out in sequence so as to verify all systems function correctly before and after fitment,without programming to accept the input it will not show or work on i drive.
fitment of the wires in the ccc plug is not a hard job but a stressfull one as it requires removal of trim and dash components and withdrawal of the ccc unit ,disconnection and fitment of the additional wires. then reinstalation of dash etc.
hence the cost in time labour.propably at a loss to the workshops for time involved in programming
my advice to anyone is wait until you require a s/ware update thru a cause that is coverd by bmw,then negotiate the aux install.
you could then enable thuis feature at a reasonable cost .
