This is wrong! Remove $644 from your VO. This is only for cars with UFL or MULF not for HU with Bluetooth built-in

I always use SG-Codieren instead of SG-Reset.
As you said, if you reset the ECU according to your VO, the HU should work properly with your equipment. This mean that the HU will lower its outputs adapting it to the HiFi system.
Furthermore, the equalizers will be adapted to your model (e90, e91, e92, e87...) because each car has its own settings.

I want to add usb/ipod connectivity.

Is there anything else I need besides :

CODING
2010+ head unit w/bluetooth & usb built in
USB Plug + wire to connect to head unit?

Is that all I need or will that even work?

Thanks,
Daryl

Your case is a little bit complicated... You need an HU with sirius built-in, bluetooth built-in and USB built-in.

It could be difficult to find, but try it!
Maybe is better for you buy the I-Pod retrofit kit and install it (no USB but tou can manage your ipod like a CD-Changer)

Dont worry about optic fiber. HiFi System don't need it (unless you have Logic7 or individual audio...)

Regards.

Looks like I need to buy these part numbers:

84109237653 USB-Aux Socket
61119129360 Coaxial fakra wire for USB

Do I need to code the radio? If I do, what OBD unit, and what software for Win7?

Thanks for any help!

You need only the parts you said but you must code the HU.
Read the thread about how to code the car.
You need an OBD-USB interface and the BMW Standard Tools (NCS, Tool32, WinKPF)

Regards.

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to post the link, So with that unit I could add a usb port to my center console right for full ipod integration?

I was looking into the retrofit kit but If I can locate one of these head units id rather that.

Thanks,

It would be very nice if you can read and copy the default setup before doing a reset..I would like to know what were the values.

Yes I bought the same and notice the cost increaee on his last item...it's crazy!

Btw our radio is the new 2urad, not 2rad.

Yes, I'll read the setup once I install it. What exactly should I backup, only the FSW_PSW.TRC file?

Yes, with this unit you will have bluetooth, usb and ipod (a cable is needed for the iPod)

You have to code the HU after install it.

Thanks for all the info Jose! Confirming this works on a 1/2007 build e90 with Logic 7.

Got the radio from seller carsequipment on ebay. Awesome guy btw, really helpful and packaging was excellent. Confirmed that the mic he sends is not the correct one to install in the FZD, it's a VW part so it does not snap into the correct place.

When purchasing from him, make sure you verify the type of radio you need as he has different professional radios. Because I have logic 7, I needed the optical connectors to power my speakers/amp.

My car has $640, but no BT, BMW Assist so no ULF, TCU. Just a default AUX port. Following the guide posted swapped radios, added $6nn; $6FL +KMP3 and +IPOD. I pulled the original .trc from the URAD before blowing everything away. Plugged in radio and it powered on fine, had all options but no sound. I pulled the current .trc and ran a compare and changed the lines one by one until I finally got sound. I changed each setting one by one to see what would happen. The asterisk marked settings is what finally gave me sound. If anyone is interested I have the working file VS the original, but in short I changed the following.. some are region dependent:

Confirmed USB works with a USB stick, played music, adjusted volume from steering wheel, etc. Ordering mic from tischer and waiting to see. I think i need to get behind the dash and find the mic wire from the FZD and run it to the deck? As because I have $640 this is done already? Trying to find docs on this, can you shed any light on this Jose?

Hi!

Nice to heard that!

If you have $640 option, you already have a wire from the FZD to the trunk. But you need a wire between the FZD and the HU so you have to install a new one (maybe you can try to find it near the feet area and cut it trying to reuse it)

Check this http://www.e90post.com/forums/attach...1&d=1124553149

Anyway, you need the mic.

Regards.

PS: I have paypal, donatives are welcome!
I am preparing other retrofits for the next month!

I was hoping that plug X3564 wasn't a straight run to the trunk, and that it hopefully ran behind the glovebox, then another plug ran from there to the trunk. That way i could use pins/connectors to wire the mic without have to cut and splice. Maybe I can just rig the VW mic if i have to cut to make it work...

I'll donate! Your hardwork is helping alot of people and saving them the headache of finding a MULF and making it easier to get all those options, plus the new deck with the shiny knobs haha.

Have you tried the VW connector on the radio? Does it fit?

[alexwhittemore]

What is the fan menu on the new headunit?

[4EST]

I installed the radio, but I can't connect to it.

The error I get is:
COAPI-2020: no answer from ECU
IFH-0009: no response from controllunit

When I press process ECU, I can only choose 2RAD, and I think I should see there 2URAD. I think ncsexpert tries to connect to the old 2RAD I removed, but now instead there is 2URAD and this could be the reason

Any advice?

Hi

I got the same access issue and fixed it by adding the right VO and updating the daten files to v47.

[4EST]

no, you had a different issue as I red, not this error.

I think this error is caused by the unit being very new and can't be coded with D-com, only MOST

However, I tried something else and:
1 - changed VO by adding 663, 6NN and 6FL
2 - did sg_reset and LOST bluetooth AND USB
3 - removed 6NN, sg_reset and I got back bluetooth and USB

So, job done so far.

I wonder if it's possible to get the phone to do voice recognition instead of the bluetooth voice commands?

and how do I change gong volume, it's so very loud that I will disable new gong if I can't find a way to lower it (I did lower it to min from audio menu, but still way too loud)
I also noticed gong is not influenced by volume button

61138384550 x1 -> 12 pins Female Connector

But they only cost a few bucks.


For USB you still need:
61119129360 x1 -> Coaxial fakra wire for USB
84109237653 x1 -> USB/Aux Socket
This cost around 80 bucks

Regards.

My car is 09/09 so it turns out I do NOT need the 12 pins connector and housing
My big connector at the back of the radio already had the 12 pin connector (actually a double 12 pin connector) built into the big main plastic radio connector

So I only needed to insert the 2 pins and secure them

I also to my surprise discovered I had fiber optic connector at the back of the radio. Happily though, the new HU also came with fiber at the back

What does actually the fiber optic do? transport sound, data? does MOST run through it? Does it mean I have an sound amplifier somewhere else in the car?

MOST is a high throughput media bus, distributed over fiber optics and set up as a ring in the car (if you disconnect one MOST connector anywhere, you break the ring, which is the reason for needing to mess around with the distribution block). The Logic7 amp uses MOST for input (it has DACs onboard for audio output), the combox/MULF connect to the head unit via MOST, etc etc.

[4EST]

ok, so MOST is the bus, so I guess some newer ECUs like to be coded only using it.

Now if I have MOST cables at the back of the HU, I should have Logic7 too? Where should it be?

Also where is MOST diagnose port?

[alexwhittemore]

Originally Posted by 4EST

not REALLY - There's a MOST-CAN gateway device in the car that allows messages to be sent across the two busses back and forth, which in theory means you can program even a MOST-only 2URAD with a DCAN cable attached to the OBD-II port. But in practice, the only way that actually works reliably is if you have newer software and an OPS head, etc etc, expensive and mostly only applies to dealers.

EDIT: Keep in mind, the way you code BT or 6FL into the car is by editing your VO in (N)FRM and CAS, then resetting the head unit with an SG_RESET - that message is sent from your DCAN cable to the radio through the gateway. But then for whatever reason, my 2URAD won't respond to SG_CODIEREN or GET_CODED jobs from my particular installation of NCSEXPERT. Some people don't have that problem.

Originally Posted by 4EST

No, I only meant that as an example of one thing that uses MOST. All the headunits (except maybe old Business units? is that what you had? I forget) have a MOST connection. You can tell if you have L7 by looking at the center vent trim in your dash - if there's a speaker grill in the middle and not just solid plastic, you have a center speaker and thus L7. That said, if you had L7 you'd almost certainly know it - it's not a cheap option (and gives you advanced EQ functions in the headunit and whatnot).

Originally Posted by 4EST

In the pedal trim, just to the right of the OBD-II connector. It's a little flush square you can pop out with a trim tool to get access to a MOST connector. As installed in the cover, the most connector is pointed to a terminator that just shorts the lines together to complete the ring. You won't really ever have a good reason to mess with this, though.

[woodpecka]

I have a MOST hifi radio without L7 and I can do whatever I want since I use the latest version of nc-expert and daten file. Are you tried the v47? I use a cheap usb dcan cable and I bought this radio http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-professional-bluetooth-car-radio-CD-MP3-player-bluetooth-USB-optic-INPUT-/230879432199?pt=Car_Audio_Video&hash=item35c17c8e0 7&vxp=mtr

If you reset but didn't get the sound setup, there is something wrong in your coding setup. Maybe you don't have the choice to use a MOST cable with L7..

Like I said, some can, some can't.

[4EST]

I had a professional radio.
I'm using v47.1, but woodpecka, it's not the daten's fault. I can't do some stuff even with tools32, I get same error when trying some functions. I think ediabas really can't connect to the HU sometimes for some functions, as alex says

I only coded VO into CAS, not into NFRM, but I think I did ok, because now voice commands language changed to english

I'dd like to know where to code car's VIN with tools32, but I can't find where
