Parts needed for 6FL Retrofit with COMBOX
Hi:
Can some kind soul (Technic?) tell me which parts (harness, USB ports, etc.) I need to retrofit the 6FL option into my 2011 (9/2011 production date) E93 335is? I have nav and BMW Assist and have confirmed the COMBOX installation. Both USB ports on the COMBOX are empty. I do not have the smartphone integration option. The dealer screwed up and didn't order the 6FL, but based on my research, all of the parts are there except for the wiring and USB port in the center console. Most of the information I found was MULF-HI retrofits and since the COMBOX replaces that unit, Any information retrofitting 6FL with COMBOX is very much appreciated. Thanks, Ed |

In paper it should be as straight forward as buying the OEM USB port, the OEM USB cable and plugging it to the Combox. Then you will need to either enable the USB of the Combox with Autologic or NCS Expert or will have to pay for a set of FSC at your dealer to enable it.
This retrofit has not been announced by BMW so there are no final details. Quote:

Technic, thank you very much for your reply. Can you answer a few followup questions?
1)Where can I source the USB port and cable? I checked realoem.com and didn't find anything for the COMBOX specifically. 2)NCS doesn't appear to be updated enough to access the combox, do you think an independent with an autologic would be able to enable? 3)An FSC is like a license that the dealer downloads into my car? Is that correct. Thank you again for your help! -Ed Quote:

Okay.. I'm making progress, but I've run into a roadblock. I'm hoping Technic can share some of his vast knowledge... puhlease...
So I ordered the parts that you suggested and I was hoping to at least test the setup by plugging in the parts directly into the combox.. but the cables I received are the wrong sex. See picture: So my questions: 1)Can someone please tell me which part number I can buy to get the HSD data bus back to the combox? 2)Will the above cable be female/female so I can connect the console USB port (which has a male port on it) to the combox port (which is also female)? 3)How can you get the existing AUX port in the console OUT of the console? The only way I can figure to get it out is to remove the entire center console. Ack. I was hoping to be able to pop out the existing aux in port and check how many wires are going to it? The new USB / Aux in connector has both six wires AND the HSD connector body. I hope the existing aux in already has the 6 pin connector installed. MANY THANKS for any information people can provide.

I had the same problem initially when I ordered parts for my retrofit. BMW did a parts substitution on the USB plug that goes from 4 pin to 6 pin. You need to find some dealer that still has the old 4 pin sockets left. The different plugs are listed in ton this page. http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...34&hg=61&fg=35
61319129651 is the part number I ordered and what I received was a different one with the 6 pin back. If you can find a dealer with this part number you will have the socket you need. You also need a longer HSD cable to go from the socket pigtail in your picture to the combox in the back. They are color coded and keyed to the color for some odd reason. Since there is no electrical difference I shaved off the part of the plastic that prevented the plug from seating and it works fine. You will need one of the cables from this page: http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...62&hg=61&fg=10 Either 61119129361 or 61119202749 or 61119129360 depending on the length needed to reach. My setup goes from the plug to the USB hub under the drivers seat. Then to the mulf in the back. Since you have a Combox yours may be different. |

Coolamber... you ROCK! Thank you so much!
I'll try and get the correct parts. Did you have to remove the entire console in order to pull out USB/AUX socket? That thing is IN there! |

Patryk,
Can you look into setting up a complete retrofit kit for BMW Station for Apple Iphone (germany/france available as of 3/11). I don't have any Iphone integration or USB but would love to do this with the combox and 6NR. I'll be your first customer! |

Can anyone confirm that those 3 BMW codes are all cables with female connectors on both sides (4 pin) so I connect directly USB socket to MULF2 USB connector without the need for USB hub and a second USB cable?? Thanks |

Yes.. I got it working. I took pictures and can provide information. In fact I actually have an extra cable that I can sell to you to order. All you'll need is one additional cable (I have part number) and programming and you are done.

In the interest of closing this post and helping others, here is what I did to add 6FL to my 2011 E93 335is which did not have it at the factory.
Some important notes up front:
So what parts will you need?
Here is a picture showing the cables: I ended up using the intermediate cable on the COMBOX instead of the center console as I couldn't get the right angle plugs to work on the COMBOX. Installation:
If you have any questions, please let me know. More pictures here: On my gallery -Ed

guys,
What parts are needed to retrofit 6FL to a car that has combox and a usb port in the glovebox, on a right hand drive car? I dont understand why there are a range of lengths needed, surely if installing like OEM it should be the same?
