Before you change a head unit in a BMW
Before you change a head unit in a BMW
You should be aware of all the side effects and problems. Also most common stereo shops will mess up your car. You need to know which of the three BMW car stereo's you starting out with. If you have logic 7 you will loose the logic 7 amp because of the way its hooked up. With Hi Fi it will be possible but still has major side effects. The problem list error from the BMW SOS if you have it BMW cd changer will no longer work if you have it PDC will no longer work if you have it. Why because these things are hooked up to or talk to the BMW Head Unit. If you take the car into BMW and they need to hook it up to there Diagnostic computer it will not be able to repair the car until it see's the original configuration of the car including the BMW radio. http://www.e90post.com/forums/attach...2&d=1266451970 head unit http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...hlight=dynavin http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...hlight=dynavin http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...hlight=dynavin http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...hlight=dynavin I'm not suggesting Dynavin its just it's well covered and the problems are the same as with any aftermarket head unit. Whatever you do don't dispose of the old head unit because you may need it when you need repairs as the BMW diagnostic computer will not be able to change values in the sub modules if you need a repair without a BMW Head Unit installed in the car.

You may not get error messages but
The BMW repair computer at the dealership will not be able to make
repairs to your car unless you remount the OEM Head Unit or move it to the trunk or somewhere with it still hooked up to the can bus and with power running to it. The guys with 335's had to do this a lot when they had HpFp problems . One guy showed up on this board with a 328 he had to have something replaced in his anitlock break system it needed calibrating from the BMW computer but since he bought the car used with and aftermarket head unit in it this could not be accomplished. I think the guys on the coding board have a way around this but BMW will tell you to return the car to stock condition so there repair computer won't choke.

Keeping it connected is the best option

But at least don't get rid of it you may need it at some point. |
