I' m doing a CIC retrofit incl DAB (however on a E70 X5), but I am even more confused now when it's said that the yellow and green FAKRA both go to the antenna splitter (at the left hand back side window where the actual antenna is integrated) So what about the DAB band L antenna in the Shark fin; how shall that be hooked up to the CIC? Or maybe the CIC not even supports the Band L feature (since really no one in the word broadcasts on those frequncies..). Maybe the shark fin DAB part is a future thing so to speak (?) Or is the antenna signal for DAB band L taken from the GPS since on the same band (?) A bit of rambling here from my side... |

cic do not accept tv signal, only composite via pins in quadlock
tv signal should be routed to videomodule which performs decoding and conversion to composite do you want to retrofit DAB in US ? there is no DAB broadcasting in US

Last night, I removed the existing $639 and $6FL codes, and adding $6NF. My thought was if the $6FL disabled the console aux port, that removing it would re-enable it. No dice. The iPod control still works, but still no audio. Looks like I will need to build a 4-wire cable from the console aux to the combox (as described earlier in this thread). Wish me luck! Update: removing $639 also disabled the Bluetooth connectivity completely. I added it back and Bluetooth was re-enabled. BTW, I don't have iDrive or NAV on my E92, just a plain Professional radio.

I understand that 61119137935 is the cable that goes from USB to combox. Just not getting whats the part number for the cable that goes from aux to the combox? I read that one part is 61136954554 but thats not a cable?

In the meantime, I switched the input to the combox to USB2 (blue connector) and it works perfectly! So instead of selecting USB1 on the radio, I select USB2 instead. Normally, the USB2 is located in the glovebox, but since I don't have that socket (yet), I can borrow the input on the combox. NOTE: I had to mod the black cable connector slightly for it to fit in the blue socket on the combox. This only works because I also coded $6NF earlier, which adds the USB2 as a source on the radio. To recap my temp fix: I moved my existing black usb cable coming from the center console from USB1 on the combox (black connector) to the USB2 on the combox (blue connector). |

What parts would I need to make my own cable? I understand 5m 3 pair shielded cable is what I need to wire the aux to combox. However I cannot find 5m 3 pair shielded cable to purchase. Where have you guys been getting the 5m 3 pair shielded cables?

With 6FL you have to have a y cable, that connects both to the aux and USB. With 6NF, its just a single USB cable to iPhone, and your able to play music through cic?

Yes, you need the Y-cable for the center console USB/AUX to work properly. I'm using USB2 to get sound and iPod control until I can get the aux cable sorted. |

Looks like I got ahead of myself. Took a look in my trunk and found out I have a TCU 1.5 MOST. Im guessing I would need a combox to get 6FL? Or is there a way to connect the USB/AUX to the TCU?
My car has: 639 BMW Assist w/Bluetooth System, and 609 Navigation system |

Hi,
have you find the oem like cable to connect aux with combox? I have retrofitted the USB with a simple HSD cable, plugged in the combox, coded 6FL and 6NF, but the aux is not working. Now I understand that aux most be connected to the combox, but why I can not find the proper cable for this? The Y cable you mentioned earlier is the solution? Will this also connect the AUX only by the HSD cable? |
