  1. Okay having some fun with the old Bus she is now driving well as I had to have the Module on the Fuel system changed and not the Glow Plugs got my Xtron Radio Head Fitted and Working (Sort of) even got a reversing camera working which is great as the Distance sensors are not cooperating, and it looks like a front bumper off job! Anyway, my question is about the Ressler unit I bought one and have a few more bells and whistles to fit, but anyone used one? Does the PDC issue I have render it US?
  2. Thanks Dave I know what you mean about relying on Memory, yes I do have to buy the Licence for the set-up you can get a free one as a trial, but it is limited I believe. We have had some fun with the whole project, like running the cable all the way from the front to the rear only to discover it was the wrong way around and had to be reversed - Oh! How we laughed 😉 the worst thing is no written instructions are available, and every thing is online, well as we just alluded to by the time you read it in the house get out to the Car you have forgotten which wire is supposed to go where LOL! Yes we have two USB ports one is in the glove box and one we fed through to the Astray as we felt that would be good for the charging of phones etc. but was looking to avoid pulling it back through but if that is my only option and a hub is not going to work then that is what we will have to do! Thanks Dave - now what was I going to do next???? 😉
  3. So hi again Guys I need your thoughts on this one I have my X5 E53 also known as Big Bucks as that is what she is costing me - still not able to get the PDC sorted but at least I know what is required - got her booked in to have the Glow Plugs all changed as they are shot (still at least it was NOT the injectors - have fitted an Xtron Android Head and at least I have DAB and a good up to date readable SatNav but does anyone know anything about these Resler USB devices I bought one with the Xtron but have run out of USB ports any suggestions? As always in your hands but anyone any ideas on how to instal it it looks like a soldering iron for the wires but can I use a USB Hub to give me the needed capacity?
  4. Thanks as always for the reply and sensible advice my X5 is running fine and there do not appear to be any issues with the engine it is just the warning message on the dash which has come up, so the Computer Diagnostic is showing an engine fault so not sure the BMW specialist (Not Main Dealer) Got a Little Arsey when I said I could runda diagnostic on her to see what it returns someone would have thought I had kicked his dog! So reconditioned or second had parts are out there, so I may look into a diesel specialist and see what the score is! Jim
  5. My 3.0 D E53 which is new to me (2 owners good service records) and 98000 miles has been pretty good since I picker her up and I know it is an old bus and will take some looking after but any idea what sort of bill I might be facing if I need to replce the injectors at a specialsist car shop but not BMW they have already quoted £48 just to hook it up to a diagnostic kit! So am I looking at a second mortgage on this one or fingers crossed it is straightforward enough and I can buy food! As always thanks in advance Jim
  6. I have an X5 2005 so just to check what photos are you looking for?
  7. Dave that must have been a bummer you see these things on TV but never think it could be your car I guess, but thankfully you were not in it at the time!
  8. Thanks, Dave yes looks like I will need the cable as my unit has TV Screen up front and the CD Changer is in the rear I will be running a reverse camera cable anyway so the more, the merrier in the Bundle! On a slightly different note any ideas why the Panoramic Sun roof would not close had a hell of a job trying to close in manually but got it closed before the rain started!
  9. Dave thanks for the advice Covid has gone now thank god so looking forwards to rolling my sleeves up and getting things installed I think the front sensor is a front left inner so should get away without taking the bumper off (fingers crossed) - in regard to the 5 m cable where is the best place to get one from RS again? The OBD unit was only cheap, so I threw it in the bundle in the hope the Blue Toot will work! Eternal optimist me! Thanks again Jim
  10. So been busy since my last post had Covid which was poo but also scanned the BMW and found two sensors one front and one back were out and also just ordered the following from Xtrons so should keep me and my son busy installing this little lot any suggestions or things to watch on changing the PDC sensors or this lot???

  11. Thanks, Dave, getting to grip a bit more now I am beginning to understand which bits are working and which bits are not thanks to the tip from Stu - looks like several sensors front and back as US, so I definitely need to replace some but first step a SCANNER! and some diagnostics! And thanks all for the welcome! Jim
  12. Thanks, Stu fills me with confidence to hear you say that! HaHa Is there a particular make of scanner to get/avoid due to BMW codes?
  13. Hi thanks for allowing me to join I have recently purchased a nice "oldish" lady an X5 E53 about to tip over the 100,000 miles but solid as anything. She is in very good condition considering her age 2005 with one or two things I would like to sort out - the Satnav/Radio and the PDC issue -basically not working but I will search through the various threads as I am sure I am not the only one who has come across these issues so hopefully I can find some answers to these issues! One question from me if I go for an aftermarket Head is the Xtron brand any good?
  14. Ben How did you get on with the change out of your Sensors on the X5?
