Just had a quick look at the connectors in the footwell are and all seems to be right and plugged up. Next port of call for me would be to remove the dash trims and check behind the HU for those two round connectors.. sadly i don't have any trim removal pieces though. I want to try and do this today If however, I find that after getting behind the OEM HU that all the cables and plugs are where they should be, but my SOS warning light is still coming on when starting the car and that my Reverse Parking Chime is STILL not audible, what are my options then.. the TCU?

I cant remember if you (as I am viewing on myphone) have cleared the codes?
When mine came on, I plugged everything back in but the error still kept coming up until i cleared it? Have you cleared to code and has come back up? Check behind the HU - I have a good feeling the little conenctor has not been transfered. I just used a screwdriver which I masked up with masking tape and gently removed the trim |

Yes sorry i meant using inpa cable.
You wont be bypassing it because lets say for eg one of the connectors was loose in terms for sos, you power up the car it will log it as an error. If you then plug connector correctly it will still show fault error code and will need clearing. As long as you dont go too indepth with inpa and jusr clear codes its not that scary That is why im thinking to have code read and cleared too see if it comes up if it doest probs down to connection |

My front driver side tyre was fucked. The inner bit nearly came off.. I was flying down the M40 at 120mph and tyre pressure loss warning popped up. So I slowed down to 100mph and held the stearling wheel firmly but within 10 mins it was finished. Had to call BMW resue to take me home. Quick service though 30 min response.

If not, LankanBwoi Aje, I know you're new to BMs, but you should be very careful of your speeds brotha. Firstly, for your own safety, secondly for the sake of other road users and thirdly, there are a few coppaz lurking this forum who are enthusiasts Just saying |

Had I known it was that easy to open up and get behind the OE HU, I'd have done it all myself. Before, I was too scared something might go wrong but with a little courage, it's a breeze - although small hands wouldn't go amiss! Anyways, Nits, everything to me seems to be connected properly as they should be behind the HU and in the passenger footwell. Attached is a pic I took .. the only thing is I'm not which end of the green/black round connectors goes where, but both ends were connected... 1 in the Technic Harness and the other end into the quad lock. I think I'll take it to the local Indy down the road tmrw and get it checked out. Thanks for your help man! Sam P.S. Some more goodies arrived through the post today. I'll get them in hopefully tomorrow morning ahead of 'The Run' which I'm hoping to attend, but the weather is a B***h right now!! Nothing big but just to give an idea of the size Last edited by AWBimmer; 02-22-2013 at 12:14 PM.. |

I don't drink drive.
Can coppaz fuck you over via online? Thats harsh. Other two reasons are understandable and considered, couldn't resist empty stretch of road. My bad.

Personally I love driving too much to risk losing my license but an empty stretch of road I know must be hard to resist.. Drive sensibly is all I'm saying

Guesses over...
1. Box contains Red Air Scoops (Yes I know barely any gains, but Esthetically, it adds a 'mean' touch to the front). Once my Aero Lip comes up, I'm going to repaint / respray my Air Scoops a diff colour to match with my theme - stay tuned Pic is rubbish but it's hard to see through chrome grill. I'll be respraying my grill to something else and then it'll be better seen hopefully. 2. Private Plate Bought and Fitted! I did the plates in the freezing cold today.. fecking British weather! I decided not to drill my new plates but use sticky tape.. 6mm rear, 1mm front. Due it being so cold and my hands were almost numb, the positioning of the plates is not to satisfactory level for me. Rear plate is positioned slightly too high and the right side is tad bit lower then left side. It's not wonky but if you go up close one may be able to tell Front plate positioning is okay, but due to the curvature of the bumper, it was hard to get fully aligned by myself when so close up to it. Next wekend, I'll get rhe heat gun out, melt the stick pads behind the plates, re-apply new sticky stuff and re-align to my liking! Anal or perfectionist, call it what you like Anyways.. Rear Off, the filth was horrendous! Required a quick Meguiars Clay and shine detail Result of above Front Filth After Treatment No pics of the Private Plate since it doesn't really require public advertisement but I'm sure it'll pop up here and there over the course of the next few months / meets Last edited by AWBimmer; 02-24-2013 at 01:36 PM.. |

Looking good Mr S, when I changed my plates over the amount of dirt behind was unbelieveable, cannot understand how it all builds up behind but quite satisfying to clean that area before putting new plates on
