im dead in the water.

took out the entire system. cant get this coding figured out at all. add to that i think my CCC nav head unit isnt working properly. no matter how i plug in the video cable i dont get an image on the screen. the dealer recommended replacing the part...they said its not a coding issue.

add to all that my idrive controller is incompatible with the MASK system so i can only listen to one CD at a time and have zero control of anything. im kinda f*cked right now.

a big shout out to @locomotivebart though, he was on the phone with me for almost 2 hrs trying to help me code my car....but we ultimately got no where. im currently erassing all the coding programs i have and starting with fresh software & walk-throughs this evening...

how about you man?

I think the best thing might be to get a new screen because something should show. Locomotivebart has definitely been a big help to me as well especially with the wiring. Hopefully you get it resolved worst case maybe you can get someone to remote code it for you. Also shout out to Nigel (georgieb) for all his prompt emails and advice. I ordered a Dension so im leaving the trim off for coding. Do you know if they need to remove the ccc when they code?
Sorry for the bad pic was in a bit of a rush.
