I have got 2 systems im playing with at the moment, bussness navi system that has audio, but needs programming for PDC and CD Changer for IPOD control, and i have a PRO system (new version with 8 buttons on the front) that has no audio output and is programmed for logic 7, which also needs CD changer programming for IPOD.
I can put either unit in the car and get no errors. I get all the time and trip computer information just as Booster does. I also have the dash ready to go. My car is booked in with a bmw specialist a week on Thursday. They plan to upload the cars config, modify it and then reload to the car. Hope you get it working booster! |

Let us know how your programming goes (and what is required to get either/both systems going!) I wish more of those "BMW specialists" were around...maybe we need to become one after this endeavor!! |

Still came with the one button controller. The business nav has the one button controller too, but the one that came with the pro has clicks each time you move it around, the bussiness one has a smooth action. The person i brought the business navi from said the controller came from a pro system, so i guess the newer versions have the click.
Im undecided what one to fit yet, the garage plans to program the car with the MASK, may be a good start. The dash looks fairly easy to remove, ive got details from the TIS and from looking at the double dash i have theres more work getting all the other bit removed in prep than actually removing the dash. I plan to remove the dash next weekend, im interested to see if the cid connector is in there! |

Here are the details of the one i brought voltage 5v frequency 1575.42 mhz Thats all it states, link below http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GPS-ANTENNA-FA...742.m153.l1262 Might get a chance to test it today. |

djdaveyg-
The system I got has a silver (platinum?) sharkfin with the GPS antenna and another fakra fitting...can't remember which color. I'm not going to use it, as my car already has the sharkfin with all the goodies. If you or anyone needs it... I'm nearly positive that the CID connection is within 6 inches of the center dash speaker mounting point. I just couldn't see it or get to it, even with a mirror. I'm almost positive its tucked into the dash back there...and there is no way to get to it without pulling out the dash. I was wondering the same thing about the cooling tube... If mine gets programmed today, I'll be doing these same things in a week or two. I've studied the dash removal process also - it really doesn't look too bad per the TIS, but you are right... it is all the prep work just getting to the point of removing it. (thank your stars that the HVAC doesn't have to come out!) They must have made it not-so-bad, since the dash MUST be replaced if the passenger airbag pops. See if you can sneak it out without pulling out the "A" pillar side-curtain airbags. I'm thinking that would save time and potential damage. For some reason, I am not able to view c_boy's pix whatsoever..just getting the yupoo (LOL!) screen. C_boy - do you have BMW Ops? |

Professional SatNav - 90% functionality!
Okay...well, here's the status update.
After making a vehicle order change (removing radio professional -663) and adding options 609 and 620 to the VO, nearly everything works. And I'm told it would ALL work if my CCC was a US model. Supposedly, the business -to-professional retrofit program MAY have worked if I didn't have this region issue with my hardware. Ironically, my CCC says US/ECE right on it, but the parts catalog shows its for ECE only. So progman kicks it, stating to replace the CCC as well as the controller before it will update the software. However, nearly everything works as is! What doesn't work: AM radio, traffic updates, and all voice functions. Everything else works - steering wheel controls, Logic 7 audio, ipod adapter, climate control, navigation, bluetooth, service functions, etc.. Obviously, my goal is 100% integration, but for now this is great. I can research the CCC/controller issue while its installed in the car and working at 90%. To fix my problem, ideally, I need to 1) flash the CCC to a US part number by updating its firmware (send it off somewhere or DVD firmware flash???) or 2) get another US specific CCC for my build date. Anyone want to trade a UK/ECE CCC for a US model?? Haptic feedback is still working on the idrive since I can't get the latest version of progman installed until all errors are removed. I also have a few can-bus errors, but that is likely due to me hooking CID and controller bus and power wiring to the back of the CCC for testing/programming, however, it all works. When I do the full and proper install, the CID and controller will be hooked up in the OEM locations on the JBE. I will be ordering up a dash and related parts tomorrow, as it WILL be installed. These are minor issues that I can deal with as I go...I will keep you all updated. |

The pin numbers (first and last) are labeled on the end of the connector itself in very small type. If you need a pin breakdown of the connector, you can find it on the WDS. I actually have a 12-pin connector on the back of my CID. (however, my WDS shows a 6-pin....it is different for the business nav display?)

C_Boy...can you answer this question? djdaveyg and I are both just days away from ripping out the stock dash....did you find the CID connector hidden in there somewhere??? I can't quite see it in your picture (which is horrifying by the way!) I like your new trim also! (is that glacier silver?)

Insane is right. My wife is actually being pretty cool about the car intermittently being torn apart. (since Friday, the CID has been sitting on the passenger side floor and the CCC is hanging out of the radio "hole.") I should have the dash parts this week then I'll take pix and put together an actual parts list of necessary items.
What I am looking for is an US i-drive controller, since progman is mad at the one I have. Its a ECE (specifically UK) controller. It works just fine, but for progman to get me up to v30, it wants the right controller and CCC. Anyone know where to procure a new/used 6583 9 150 962 i-drive controller for cheep? |
