Hi there

I may have bitten off more than I can chew, or simply been unlucky...

Following the apparently brilliant and straight-forward DIY for CCC to CIC & ComBox by FaxData , all is going well and I can access CIC, CID and MEDIA via NCS.

My issue is that the CID screen is entirely blank white/grey...any clues?

If I've not read a crucial previous post/response on this I apologise, I've searched and read what feels like everything here on the subject....

Might it be that I need the FSC coding to fix this? -I am still waiting for Lithuanian post (yes I failed to notice that as did a few others before me on here I see) for the USB cables.

Hope someone can advise as I'm currently driving a car with a very expensive (FM only) radio :-)

Cheers all, happy Friday!

I am sure you have done this but is the pink connector cable hooked between the CIC and CID? I had a bad screen once that was just blank.

No coding is needed to get a screen to work. It should display the BMW logo when things boot up.

smass Always ask the obvious question, you never know...

Thanks, yes the pink cable is in.

New piece of intel though: the CID still believes it's in an E60 according to the 'EEPROM Security Checksum' despite my best efforts
