CCC: MP3 CD Playback Not Available (this gives MP3 playback feature to pre-September 2005 cars!)

MODEL
E60, E61 (5 Series) with SA 609 CCC-Navigation from 3/05 to 9/29/05 vehicle production

E63, E64 (6 Series) from 3/05 to 9/29/05 vehicle production

E90, E91 (3 series)) with SA 609 CCC-Navigation vehicles produced up to 9/29/05


SITUATION
The MP3 option is not available in the audio menu. When an MP3 CD is used, it is not recognized as a valid CD.

CAUSE
The stability of earlier CCC (Car Communication Computer) software did not allow for proper MP3 functionality.

PROCEDURE

On a customer complaint basis only, retrofit MP3 functionality using Progman V20.00 or higher.

Refer to the SI B09 05 01 Coding, Individualization, Programming (CIP), for the "Retrofit" procedure.

Select "MP3" from the retrofit list and follow the on screen instructions for retrofitting MP3 capability.

The service code "KMP3" will be added to the end of the vehicle order as displayed in the Measures Plan.

After the procedure is complete, turn the ignition off and wait 5 minutes or until the driver's switch block LED goes out. Check the functionality of the system.

WARRANTY INFORMATION
Covered under the terms of the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Note: Should the vehicle be affected at the same time by another repair in which programming of control units is also required, programming may be claimed only once.

Note: The following explanations will spell out the correct use of the work times.

Main Work:
Use this labor operation number when the only repair performed is the listed warranty repair.


OR


+Associated Work:
Use this labor operation number when other repairs or services are performed along with the listed warranty repair.
Under no circumstances should both labor operation numbers be claimed. Attempts to claim both times will result in an unnecessary delay in claim processing and payment.

Does anyone know what the TSB is for the early morning "bucking" issue with the E92 335i? Also, when I slow down at a light and it turns green before I come to a complete stop, the car JUMPS when I give it gas.....I know lots of people have this prob but can't find it above in the TSB's....

I "reset" the transmission and the problem went away.

Did you try to reset the transmission? It is really easy to do. It even got rid of the rediculous lag that existed in D upon starting from a stop. Mine used to jerk forward pretty bad when the car was warming up in the morning.

I can do it myself?!?!?? How??

Put the key in the slot (I had all the doors closed, not sure if that makes a difference or not, but BMWs computers are strange sometimes), and push the start button without your foot on the break (that will put the car in accessory mode and the electronics will start up). Push down the gas pedal until it clicks and hold it there for 30 seconds. I heard a noise from the car at about 30 seconds which sounded like a noise the car makes after you turn it off after driving it (that may have been by chance). After 30 seconds, let your foot off the gas, push the break and press the start button, starting the car up. Done. Simple, no? My car has not jerked forward since I reset mine.

[chemgeek]

Eh, transmission reset seemed to "wear off," now the car is jerking off the line during warm-up again.

[bluemark]

I have a 2008 328xi with Bridgestone RE050AII RFT's. I only have 5000 km on the car so far but have noticed that my tires are already scalloped. Someone told me that they thought there was a TSB regarding this. Does anyone know if that is the case?

Actuall two are out; one for a series of 2007 builds (just a week or so in Jan 07) and the 2nd for several months of 06 builds.

You should be checking the "turbo" section
