Hi there,

I'm new here so i'm sorry if i'm posting in the wrong part of the forum!

I need some help in my car

It's a kind of weird thing that has happened to me!
So starting from the beginning, more or less at 9 months in the past my car start to have some problems all related to the radio.

So first i accidentally broke the plastic piece of the usb port in the armrest, but my ipod plays the music and its all fine!
the worst is that passed 2 month and the usb function disappears from the radio and the aux wont play anything. ( so the radio only displays the aux function but dont works)
and randomly the usb/aux works, but from 8 mouths to now the car won't recognises at all my ipod!
so i try to disconnect the battery of the car and connected, and voila the usb/aux function works again!
the problem is that soon i drove the car, the music played 2 songs and the car won't recognises the ipod again so i went to the bmw service...
then they do all the tests and tell me the the problem is in the bluetooth module, more known as ulf module or tcu module
then they tell me that i need to change the module, and i need to pay 600€ +coding
so one thing that i can't understand, if i disconnect the battery and connect again the module works for some time
and another weird thing is that the bluetooth always work, if the car recognises the ipod or not i can call from my iphone and i can do all that works!

so the problem is from the module?? its weird
(i took adventage that i was there and i asked if they can program the mirrors to fold automaticly, and on the end they tell me that they can't acess to the car system,so they cant program the mirrors weird... )

so i tell to my self that i'm resolving the problem alone ( and with your help )

so in that time i buy only the usb/aux socket

then i resolve to change it
so with all time and careful i change the socket

one weird thing that i notice is that after i replace it the car wont recognise the socket, then i try to disconect the battery but wont work and now my car wont recongise the usb function neither aux port but in the display shows only the AUX.

needs coding ? what can i do? the socket is new and has been tested in bmw

one more thing, what cable/bluetooth adpter OBD 2 do you sugest so i can start in the coding world and then resolve/know the source of this problem?

then now my car is having other computer problems, one day the car cant save the date and hour, other day i cant fold the mirrors by pressing the button and today i cant close the roof only if i open the trunk with the key and then try to close the roof, 2 times...

anyone with this problem or anything similar?

Best regards,

João

P:S my car is a BMW 3 series E93 from 2009 and it has the bmw professional radio (not the idrive)
