My Junkyard iDrive retrofit is underway. I should be under $250 for the swap all said and done. Can just add the VO with inpa or ncsexpert like I did when retrofitting a CD changer emulator?

Everything is hooked up except the idrive knob and the head unit van. The CID will not power up. I checked the connector as the CID and it is getting 12v power and 4v at the bus. I am stumped on what to do.





I used OEM tap wires I got from the dealer. + power is from a fuse tap, everything else is how the DIY did it.

Update 2: I took the head unit apart and manually removed the two disks. It still did not work. I wonder if either the head unit or screen are dead since they did come from the junkyard.

Update 3: Everything is working now.

For future reference:

in CAPPLE change ZBE from high to low

Thats fixed the knob
