Cheers to community,
I have an bmw e60 520d from 2006 and I can't finish dvd changer retrofit on this car.I don't know where I wrong.
dvd works on the car in a proportion of 80% I say. I have the controls on the steering wheel: before, back, play, pause everything work perfect, except the menu for changing DVDs from 1 to 6. There I have the gray band, I do not understand why. I use the original program ISTA and there it tells me that the dvd changer does not communicate with the car .in the tree list is marked with RED . Otherwise the cdc does not available anymore on the car. Who made me this retrofit told me that the car does not accept at the same time cdc and dvd changer. It would not be the problem for me anyway. I give up the definitive at Cd Changer

-But why does the reality on the testers never beat the reality on the car?

So is not communicate with the car on the tester, but the dvd on car working at 80%. I do not explain. Is it somehow wrong, is there a conflict with the cdc that I can not see the menu of changing DVDs? Where am I wrong?
I attach some pics and a movie.Can u help me to understand where I wrong?Also Sometime the video image is flickering..
thanks,

Morning Bogdan

Welcome to the Forum

Are you sure you have the right changer? My brother In-laws 5 series touring has Cd Changer in the boot and the DVD changer is in the glove box ??

Look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of you Vin Number into the search box it will bring up your model the check out the Audi section.

If your car was originally configured for a CD unit it may not have a video module fitted which is needed to convert the signal from the DVD unit. If the guy you brought from's car was configured with a video module then the DVD will work.

My brother in-law ordered his with CD and DVD with rear entertainment as I said his Cd Changer is in the boot and the DVD in the glove box.

I would go back to www.realoem.com as I advised to see if a video module was specified for your car. Also check out www.newtis.info for wiring diagrams that may help plus any retrofit information.

As I advised look at realoem and newtis if you do you will see that the Cd Changer is NOT wired through the Video controller. TV Nav and DVD if fitted are wired to the Video module.

Also if the car was not originally configured for a DVD you may need some additional loom sections and the bus controller will need to have the DVD changer registered

 of course dvd is wired at video module,because the image on CID screen is from videomodule.Without videomodule  the dvdc retrofit is not possible I know.Cd changer is officialy DEAD like I said on first post because on MOST ring is not possible to have simulateneously dvdc and cdc.

S672 cdc is disabled on most,In VO option S672 is no longer available.he is good only to close the loop ring most,because if I remove cdc from glove box TV and DVD is disabled automatically because the most ring remains in the air does not close the fiber loop.

And I don t know why cdc on tree list is still on because in vehicle order is no longer available.

nevermind

 

my car  was not originally configured for a DVD or TV.I made the reftofit on TV and DVD.can u tell me pls what mean loom section and the bus controller?maybe here is a trick and I don t know

thanks

Look at the wiring diagrams in newtis Read the information on fitting/retro-fitting items and registering them with the bus controller.Then look at realoem to get the correct part numbers for the part you need.

You are clever enough to have retro fitted TV so just use the information available to make sure it is correct and units are compatible and whether it needs coding with ZCS

      Use of an Airtag or Similar on the Key FOB ?

      I was an airline mechanic up until I retired 2 years ago. There isn't any carrier Under US FAA or EASA regulations that restricts the use of any airtag or similar device. Lufthansa was rumored to have tried, using the interference claim but quickly denied it when it's customers heard about it. Our shop actually put tags on specialized tools so the Tool Room could track them and since new generation tags can have a range of 90' to as much as 450' it help prevent tools from leaving the hanger or being left on the aircraft. The Avionics guys I worked with all seem to agree that for my purposes there shouldn't be any issues and just say to monitor the batteries in the key and tag. They will get you close enough to what ever they're attached to that if you can't se what your looking for you can tap your smartphone and the'll put out a tone like a ring. The ones made by TILE can be used in reverse if you have your FOB but can't find your phone, tap on them and the signal will have your phone ring. I ordered one Apple Airtag and One Tile Pro. I carry a battery for my FOB in my wallet so should they drain the battery I can just toss a new battery in and remove the tag if I decide it's an issue. It'll take awhile to decide but I'm gonna give em a try. !

      Use of an Airtag or Similar on the Key FOB ?

      An interesting topic, I have considering getting one for my motorbike key (cost hundreds to replace if lost) so at £35 for an AirTag it's worth a punt. However, not sure how effective it is as it relies on Bluetooth and can only triangulate to a rough area then I guess it tracks more accurately once you are within that area. Also, have read that some airlines won't let them be used when traveling as they can affect the plane's electronics. Once I get one, will update this post to let you know pros and cons but I guess for that money it's worth a try as cheaper than replacing a key

      Use of an Airtag or Similar on the Key FOB ?

      Morning Rory I had to ask someone what this was, the guy I talked to is a Porsche/Merc Specialist he had only seen 2 in use, described it as a toy to help you track keys. He also said as they are bluetooth after about 30ft they are useless, he hadn't heard of interference or battery draining. So I guess it is a case of "you make your choice and pay your money" If it works let us know, if it causes headaches warn us 😅 Dave

      New Car New Questions

      Morning Oliver Welcome to the Forum Taking your points in order 1. Simple answer NO the gas struts assist and hold the tailgate open but were never designed to open it. A powered tailgate is a different beast altogether, not sure if you can retrofit a powered tailgate if all the loom is there it should be possible but someone with software will need to enable it. 2. Pan roofs were/are well known for their problems, there are repair kits available but if you are not into DIY it may be best to talk to a specialist check the register of BMW Specialists they are normally about half Dealer costs 3. I take it you have checked all bulbs and there is no sign of corrosion were the bulbs mount. I would check the loom where it passes from the tailgate into the body near the hinges it isn't unknown for wires to crack and break after years of opening and closing the tailgate. A fairly straight forward repair depending on your soldering skills. you will need to remove trim to carry out repairs Hope this helps Dave
