Hi there,

It's been a while now I follow the topic below, but it seems to be dead.
DVD, TV and front/rear cam Interface from BMW original idrive integration
http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=32736

I post it as a new topic because I believe a lot of people are interested to integrate and view a mediaplayer on the iDrive display.
Especially because it concerns an OEM part and control is done via the iDrive.
No additional IR remote controls etc.

Informed yesterday at 2 BMW dealers in Belgium for the ACM module because I want this stuff finally installed.
I'm active in the audio/video and automation business and I'd love to watch my TV recordings & mp3's in the car when I'm in those frequent traffic jams.

Meanwhile the partnr has changed.
I asked the price of partnr 65 50 0 418 002
They replied with partnr 65 50 0 431 544 at 508,58 EUR VAT 21% included.
Deliverable within a few days from Germany.

Anyone an idea where we can download the install instructions, wiring diagram, ... of the new partnr?
So I can check what's the difference with the previous partnr.

I'm prepared to make a step-by-step installation guide with comments, detailed topology, pin connections and lots of pictures.
Very very busy job, but I consider this as my contribution to this forum.
I just plan to integrate a mediaplayer (http://www.tvix.co.kr/Eng/products/C2000U.aspx) on it.
I have this already (60GB HD) and this works perfect.
I plan to integrate this in the armrest.
So only the mediaplayer, actually no plans for front and back camera.
Target date is 10/8/2007, because then I'll be (hope so) on the road for a +2000km holiday trip.

I saw in the wiring diagram of partnr 65 50 0 418 002 that there is a RS232 control.
I gues it's for the TV tuner.
I have an idea to control the mediaplayer via this via RS232 to IR translation, but it'll be trial and error when I have the module.
Don't ask already questions about this.
I'll first have to check what messages are pushed to the RS port.

So who can help us on te way to heaven

Grtz

Any updates? I am very interested in this ACM Module. Want to add Backup Rear camera and CarPC eventually.

Hopefully easy to install. Checked with AutoImage, they said they use some kind of "BMW 56" Module which has Rear camera option, 2 additional video inputs. which is $700 + install is $1000!!! = $1700 lol (Just for Video module, rear camera, install)

My dealer wiped out my AUX during Vehicle Order update, so I need it back before installing this module. Looks like I need to schedule this earlier. May be next week.

Wiped out without yr permission?
You need indeed the AUX to make the ACM module operational.
Can you confirm if your ACM module has partnr. 65 50 0 431 544

Any idea where to download the instruction manuals?
Anyone else.

Attached install instructions and user instructions of the previous ACM module (partnr 65 50 0 418 002)

I think the part number is right. Isn't those instruction manual usable?
