Adding Weatherband to 2009 e90 without IDrive.
For my 2009 335i e90 sedan Non-Idrive, it has the Weatherband option listed in my FSW_PSW.TRC file. If I enable it to Aktiv, will I get the Weatherband on my BMW Professional radio even though I don't have Idrive?

So I have tried coding to get weatherband on my 2009 E90 with CIC Nav.
Went through NCS Expert, CAS, E89, Read CIC module and change the RADIO_WEATHERBAND to aktiv and coded it in. Now I see the Weather in the radio menu and I can go in there and see 7 stations. But none of those stations have any reception. I'm wondering if I did anything wrong? I am in Toronto, Ontario, Canada so not sure if I should be receiving anything but I think I should. Or does this only work on 2010-2011? |

See my post below. It's a US based system requiring a special receiver.

I think the 3 series do have the receiver in it.
As mentioned before, on the odd times I receive US radio stations, I can pick up weather information for the USA in the car. According to this, I should be able to pick up the weather in Canada http://ec.gc.ca/meteo-weather/defaul...n&n=F11D11D2-1 |

Anyway update on this. In order for it to work it seems like I have to be in very specific areas. In downtown Toronto, it seems to pick up reception but once I am outside the downtown core it doesn't seem to work.
The weather information seems to be marine information. |
