Sorry, i dont know anythink about SAT tuner. Its for US only i think. Maybe its not activated in CIC fsw_psw file. You had it working before?

Maybe same for E6x. AsE6x.car is EU specs, maybe you have to make some changes in fsw_psw to activate it.

in my case i just had TEL. No mulf
In real your car vo you cant add 6vc, because combox was never factory built in e6x
I just tried this by default coding KOMBI module in NCSExpert, but the SOS error still persists. Will check it again tomorrow morning (giving the car enough sleep time to reset modules)

Thanks again Bmwpower530

Looks like I got it coded out (SOS error after combox retrofit) by setting ( KOMBI module using NCSExpert)
TEL_ALIVE_ZAEHLER
nicht_aktiv
TEL_ID_MONITOR
nicht_aktiv

Will keep driving it for few days to see none of my settings are reverted (mainly no delay autofolding, 6blinks one touch, double blink hazard to name a few) before moving on to next project (ACC2, cant wait for this to be functional ....)

Quick question... is it possible to add 6NR option to our cars with retrofitted combox? Would like to get iphone 4s video play and connected drive apps (this option only if possible). Looks like 6NR should be enabled to get the iphone functionaility. Anybody done this?

Yes, you have to activate fsc code in cic, i think you already did.
Than code cic and combox with $6NR option using ssd file.
You need: video/aux socket in your armrest(not usb/aux), iphone 4s, ipod/iphone video Y Cable pn: 61122344300, and fbas cable, you have to drag fbas cable from armrest to cic.

Thanks for your reply Bmwpower530. I did run fbas cable through center ocnsole, connected it to Pin2, 12, 11 on Connecter B of CIC.

Looks like I need to redo SSD process to add 6NR option, should I default code CIC and combox or just add 6NR to fake VO? WIll try it tomorrow.

Since the combox has 2 USB ports in which one is unused since CCC's MULF2 has only one USB port, I am thinking of adding/routing another AV-IN+USB socket in center console while running the second USB cable to combox. I hope this should work while having access to both USB drive and iphone plyayback.

One question though, if you look at the combox trc file attached above, at the end it has two entries as

USB1_IPOD_AUDIO
digital
USB2_IPOD_AUDIO
analog

does that mean using iphone on USB2 port of combox results in only analog audio? can this be switched to digital at the same time as USB1 setting or is it the limitation of hardware in combox or can I set both to both (analog and digital)?

Not sure at all about the Ipod connector.. I would stay away from it to be honest.

Keep in mind the CIC is using very very old hard drive tech "IDE"
This will fail.
You can upgrade to SSD or Replace with Android Unit. I quite sure I have one of the few remaining Complete Dumps of CIC. That would be another write-up / thread.
